The United States has the world’s largest economy, with a GDP of US$23.3 trillion in 2021. But it also faces a huge debt challenge. Its national debt has reached US$31.4 trillion, a historic level that keeps rising with interest. This staggering sum, the world’s largest national debt, reflects years of big spending that has been far greater than what the US government has earned. The US debt-to-GDP ratio, which compares the size of the debt to the economy, also ranks among the highest in the world.

China is already the giant of the global EV market: In 2022, 6.7 million units or 64% of global new energy vehicle (NEV) production (including EVs, hybrids, and cars running on hydrogen and other non-gasoline energy sources) occurred in China, which also accounted for 59% of the 10.52 million global NEV sales. Of the 7.65 million global EV sales last year, China accounted for over 5 million, meaning that almost two out of three EVs were sold in China.

The Shanghai auto show in April was packed with Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) of all sorts, including concept cars, sports cars, and luxury cars. The event was a pivotal moment for China’s car industry: Foreign domination of China’s auto market was eclipsed by Chinese companies offering EVs wh...

This age group is also more likely to follow brands that are aligned with their values, especially involving social and environmental issues. Roberts said Gen Zs give more weight to luxury brands’ actions towards sustainability, equality, and diversity amongst others.

21% of these consumers are ready to spend 16% of their income on luxury. Gen Zs are not shy to spend their money on themselves, particularly in China where more than 20% of Gen Zs are willing to shell out over 16% of their income for luxury products. This puts the Gen Zs well in place to become the....

Given the huge difference in what is value and what looks cheap due to one financial ratio, more often than not, relying on PE may lead to wrong investment decisions. For our analysis, we have selected only those stocks which have the PEG ratio of less than or equal to 1.3. It is an effective financial metric that throws light on a company’s price with respect to its future earnings growth potential over a specified period.

Since it is easy to calculate and understood by a large majority among the valuation ratios, PE ratio is one of the most overused and misused ratios. But is this the right matrix to look at ? The answer is no, there is a better option. It is better to use PEG ratio when looking for long term investm...

Dr Divya Karnad of Ashoka University points out something quite pertinent. Currently, most sea-based treaties are bilateral in nature. This means the deal is just between two countries. And bad actors might easily slip through the nets. For instance, there are the Chagos islands in the Indian Ocean which the British claim for themselves. Now while the UK has a treaty with Sri Lanka that prevents its fisherfolk from the waters in the area, India isn’t part of the agreement. So Indian boats apparently have been hunting sharks in the region. And they haven’t got into trouble. A multilateral High Seas Treaty will change all of this.

In today’s Finshots, we explain why the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Treaty or what’s informally known as the High Seas Treaty is a massive win for the earth’s oceans. Also, before we start today's story, a quick sidenote from team Ditto. If you're someone who has prior experience...

Low remuneration for independent directors cannot attract good talent. Their job, howsoever noble some project it to be, needs to be compensated well

A recent news item of what was reported to be a courageous stand by an independent director in performing his duties diligently made him a model in some eyes, and a martyr to others. The independent director wrote a 65-page letter of resignation (25 pages highlighting his reasons and 40 pages of ann...

India is one of the most dynamic markets in the world for early-stage investments. India has a strong economy which will continue to expand. Even if the quantum of deals is not as high as in previous years, the best quality founders continue to raise funds. We believe this is a great time to do business with such founders.

2022 signaled a recalibration for venture capital (VC) investments globally after a record capital influx over the last few years. Increasing macroeconomic uncertainty and recessionary fears drove caution in investing momentum globally, headlined by a few key triggers: (a) post-pandemic tightening o...
