Business Insider: Navy may not buy any more Ford-class supercarriers, acting Navy secretary says

* The Navy may cap the number of Ford-class aircraft carriers at four and move on to something else, the acting Navy secretary recently said.
* "I don't know if we're going to buy any more of that type," acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly told Defense & Aerospace Report, adding that the Navy is "certainly thinking about possible other classes."
* According to Breaking Defense, the Navy is putting together a task force to figure out what the future carrier fleet should look like.

The US Navy may not buy any more Ford-class aircraft carriers, the acting Navy secretary said recently, revealing that the service is already thinking about what comes next.

"I don't know if we're going to buy any more of that type," acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly told Defense & Aerospace Report's Christopher Cavas, adding that the Navy is "certainly thinking about possible other classes."

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the first of the new class of flattops, is going through postdelivery tests and trials. The USS John F. Kennedy is 70% complete. Construction has started on the USS Enterprise, and material is reportedly being procured for the USS Doris Miller.

The last vessel is expected to be delivered in 2032.

Business Insider: Here are the 24 countries that are least ready for a pandemic

* The coronavirus can be a serious issue for countries with low access to healthcare and inadequate prevention measures.
* Research from the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the John Hopkins Center for Health Security, and The Economist Intelligence Unit assessed how prepared 195 countries are for a major epidemic based on six health categories.
* The report found that overall, no country is prepared for a pandemic, but some countries are more ready than others.
* Among the lowest-scoring countries were Algeria, where there are already 17 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

Some countries may be less equipped than others to handle a massive disease outbreak like the novel coronavirus sweeping around the world.

The coronavirus has spread to over 100 countries with over 111,000 cases and nearly 3,900 deaths. Although some countries have implemented screenings at airports, expanded their testing facilities, and implemented other health measures and precautions, no country is fully prepared for a pandemic, according to recent research.

The COVID-19 outbreak that began in China has sickened thousands worldwide.

By Tuesday, the novel coronavirus outbreak in the United States had grown to at least 760 cases, with clusters in New York, Washington state and California, according to Johns Hopkins University, which is tracking reports and confirming them with local health departments.

The number of cases in the U.S. and worldwide is the subject of some debate, as testing has been rolled out unevenly and the criteria for diagnosis (through clinical means or a lab test) has varied from country-to-country.

Daily Mail: How one man spread coronavirus to NINE other people on his bus in China: Scientists find the deadly virus can travel four times the 'safe' distance and linger in the air for over 30 minutes in confined places

* Scientists studied one man in China who passed the virus to 13 people in total
* On the bus, germs jumped as far as 4.5 metres to other travellers
* It lingered in the air for up to 30 mins, after the original man had got off the bus
* People who wore masks on the bus were not infected, the study found
* Coronavirus bugs also stayed on surfaces for days, especially when it was hot
* Scientists said their findings show face masks are useful protective measures

A man infected with coronavirus spread the virus to nine other people on his bus, raising fears the killer infection can jump between people far easier than initially thought in confined places.

A study found two victims sitting 4.5 metres (14.7ft) away from the man were later diagnosed, which is four times what is considered a 'safe distance' to stand near an COVID-19 patient.

Countries including Italy and the UK have implemented one to two metre distancing between people to limit outbreaks.

CNN: Xi Jinping visits Wuhan, in major show of confidence as China turns corner on coronavirus

Chinese President Xi Jinping has made his first visit to Wuhan since the novel coronavirus outbreak began more than two months ago, as new cases of the virus slowed to a trickle in the country where the disease first emerged.

Xi's visit to Wuhan -- which has been on lockdown for weeks now, with tens of thousands of confirmed cases of the virus and hundreds of deaths -- is a major show of confidence in China's response to the pandemic, underlining a message which has been building in state media that the country has turned a corner.

As of Tuesday, there have been 80,754 cases of the virus confirmed across China, 67,760 of which were in Hubei, the province of which Wuhan is the capital. Of the 3,136 deaths confirmed in China, all but 112 have been in Hubei.

Pepe Escobar, Asia Times: How black swans are shaping planet panic

A case can be made that the current financial panic will only subside when the ultimate black swan – Covid-19 – is contained.

Is the planet under the spell of a pair of black swans – a Wall Street meltdown, caused by an alleged oil war between Russia and the House of Saud, plus the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 – leading to an all-out "cross-asset pandemonium" as billed by Nomura?

Or, as German analyst Peter Spengler suggests, whatever the averted climax in the Strait of Hormuz has not brought about so far "might now come through market forces"?

Let's start with what really happened after five hours of relatively polite discussions last Friday in Vienna. What turned into a de facto OPEC+ meltdown was quite the game-changing plot twist.

Daily Mail: America will be in lockdown like Italy in less than two weeks, computer scientist claims: Worrying graph shows how coronavirus cases in the US are growing - as Surgeon General warns the epidemic will get 'worse before it gets better'

* Mark Handley, a computer scientist from UCL in London, tweeted a graph saying 'everyone' will be Italy in 9-14 days in terms of coronavirus cases

Fears over the rapidly growing number of coronavirus cases in the US has led to questions over whether America will be forced to go into lockdown like parts of Italy and China, the countries which have been so far the worst-hit by the epidemic.

There are currently 804 cases of the virus in the US and 28 people have died from it.

In Italy, the numbers are far more alarming. As of Tuesday morning, 463 have died and there are 9,172 of it. Italy confirmed its first case of the virus 11 days before the US did.

On Monday night, computer scientist Mark Handley, Professor of Networked Systems and part-time Roboticist at UCL in London, tweeted a graph showing how growth figures in other infected countries compare to Italy's.

'Everyone else will be Italy in 9-14 days time,' Handley tweeted along with the data.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a call on Monday to discuss global energy markets, among other issues, the White House said on Tuesday without giving any other details.

Oil prices were up about 8% on Tuesday, a day after facing their biggest rout in nearly 30 years as Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, escalated tensions over its plan to ramp up production.

Chinese President Xi Declares Victory Over The Coronavirus Outbreak In Visit To Wuhan

SCMP: Chinese President Xi Jinping salutes Wuhan under shadow of coronavirus pandemic threat

* Xi lauds frontline workers and residents at the outbreak's epicentre to boost morale and support for the Communist Party
* Trip also an attempt to send a message to the world about 'the strength of China's political system'

Hailing "victory to Wuhan" and saluting its people as heroes, Chinese President Xi Jinping used his first trip to the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak on Tuesday to signal that China had turned the tide in its battle against the deadly disease.

The much-anticipated visit – about three months after first cases were reported in the provincial capital of Hubei province – was carefully orchestrated to boost domestic morale and seize back the narrative.

Having come under heavy criticism from overseas initially, Beijing is now portraying its containment efforts as a heroic fight showcasing the Chinese people's spirit as well as the strength of the country's unique political system.

CENTCOM Top General Confirms That The U.S. Is Aiding The Taliban To Fight ISIS

Marine Corps General Kenneth F. McKenzie, head of the US Central Command, said that the Taliban has shown the "capability" of defeating jihadists with the Islamis State group

Defense One: The US Is Helping the Taliban Fight ISIS, CENTCOM's Top General Says

Gen. McKenzie turned heads with testimony about "very limited support" for an enemy who is also an enemy of an enemy.

The United States has provided "very limited support" to the Taliban in its fight against ISIS in the eastern Afghanistan province of Nangarhar, U.S. Central Commander head Gen. Frank McKenzie told lawmakers Tuesday.

McKenzie provided almost no details about the support, a startling revelation that comes as critics of the peace deal with the Taliban warn against trusting the group's counterterrorism promises.

US Begins Partial Troop Withdrawal From Afghanistan (Updated)

Posted: 10 Mar 2020 12:43 PM PDT



ABC News: US starts to withdraw troops from Afghanistan as peace negotiations face 1st delay, violence hits presidential inauguration

Despite US efforts, Afghans still don't have a delegation to meet the Taliban.

The U.S. has started to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in compliance with its agreement with the Taliban, even as the peace process initiated by that deal faces its first delay and renewed violence across the country.

Negotiations between the Taliban and other Afghans, including government officials, were scheduled to start Tuesday, but will not happen yet. They have so far been bogged down by political fighting among Afghan officials over who will be part of the Afghan delegation amid a dispute over the results of last fall's presidential election. But they've also been stuck over the deal's call for releasing thousands of Taliban prisoners, with President Ashraf Ghani refusing to do so and the militant group saying it must happen first.

The commander of U.S. Army Europe may have been exposed to the coronavirus at a recent conference he attended, the army said in a statement on Monday.

Lt. Gen. Christopher Cavoli and several of his staff members are now under self-quarantine after the exposure, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy said in a statement.

"Out of an abundance of caution and following recommended protocols, he and others potentially affected are self-monitoring and working remotely to fulfill their command duties and responsibilities," Cavoli said.

Russian President Putin Says He Has No Objection To Run Again For President In 2024

Posted: 10 Mar 2020 09:45 AM PDT



RT: Putin has no objection to possibility of running for president in 2024

The Russian president says a suggestion by MPs that would see presidential terms reset, thus allowing him to run again in 2024, would be acceptable should it be supported by citizens and approved by the Constitutional Court.

"I believe and am deeply convinced that a strong presidential power is absolutely necessary for our country," Putin stated in his address to the State Duma. However, the public should have guarantees that elections – including presidential elections – are competitive and there is also "an alternative."

Putin was referring to a suggestion by Valentina Tereshkova, a United Russia MP famous for being the first woman in space, to alter a proposed amendment limiting future presidents to only two terms. Backing up her proposal, she mentioned some "unpredictable risks" to the country, meaning that "reliable insurance" is needed.

The Hill: US walks tightrope as coronavirus hits adversaries

The spread of coronavirus around the globe is raising questions about how the United States should help its adversaries mitigate the disease.

The Trump administration has sent a message to Iran, via the Swiss, offering to help with the disease, while also criticizing Tehran for suppressing information about its spread.

Then there's North Korea. The hermit kingdom says it has seen no coronavirus cases, but news outlets with contacts on the ground report otherwise. With serious outbreaks in neighboring China and South Korea, regional experts are skeptical the disease hasn't made its way into North Korea.

SC has lifted ban on cryptocurrency: What India should do next

Posted:

By Nehaa Chaudhuri & Anirudh RastogiOn March 4, the Supreme Court overturned the Reserve Bank of India's de facto ban on cryptocurrencies. In an April 2018 circular, RBI had banned crypto traders and exchanges from accessing formal banking channels. The apex court found RBI's actions 'disproportionate' to the risks it sought to address and, therefore, unconstitutional. How did we get here? In part because of an inadequate — and even secretive — consultation process.An RTI application filed a few days after RBI's ban revealed that the central bank undertook no research or consultation before acting. Later, when the Supreme Court asked it to consider representations by crypto exchanges, RBI filed a response so general, that the court had to order a detailed point-wise reply within two weeks. Meanwhile, GoI also didn't publicise its consultation on regulating virtual currencies initiated on MyGov.in, meant to aid a government committee's deliberations. There is no way to verify whether the committee considered any comments on the platform, most of which are brief, rudimentary and unverifiable opinions.A robust consultation would have allowed GoI and RBI to appreciate technical intricacies and the impact of regulation on the cryptocurrency industry, and design an appropriate regulatory framework. Instead, the story of crypto regulation in India is now a classic example of the harms of opaque regulation on disadvantaged customers and an expensive litigation.Greater transparency in law-making allows businesses to plan and be future-ready. For example, many personal data-reliant startups today are already planning their compliance with the forthcoming data protection law.However, consultative regulation is about much more than ease of doing business (EoDB). It prevents entry barriers, increases compliance, leads to greater regulatory accountability, enhances regulatory capacity, and aids jurisprudential development and academic discourse.Opaque law-making processes tend to act as market entry barriers, as firms, groups of firms with greater regulatory access are able to shape policy better suited to their business goals. In India, firms with a presence in Delhi often enjoy greater government access. This, coupled with non-consultative policymaking, may result in privileging the stakeholder with proximity to GoI over one with the most innovation.Recognising this need to widen the stakeholder base, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and the committee of experts tasked with framing India's privacy law held policy consultations outside Delhi in the past two years.Consultative processes are likely to increase the industry's confidence in regulation and create greater buy-in to regulatory aims. Documenting legislative intent through notes on stakeholder comments and meetings will ensure greater accountability for both the regulator and the regulated, reduce subjectivity in enforcement, and even inform academic discourse.Consultative approaches are particularly crucial in technology policy, where technological growth far outpaces law-making. Not only do they help regulators be well-informed, but they are also a means to solve for a lack of state capacity. In 2016, in the 'Cellular Operators Association of India vs Trai' case, Justices Kurian Joseph and JRF Nariman of the Supreme Court called upon Parliament to pass a law like one in the US, which would mandate transparency in subordinate rulemaking.They identified stakeholder consultations, a consideration of stakeholders' views, and a reasoned explanatory note outlining the regulator's position on these views as key elements of transparency.They opined that transparency would help reduce litigation around subordinate legislation being arbitrary, as stakeholders' grievances could be, at least partially, addressed even before the legislation was made, in addition to promoting openness and reducing arbitrariness in law-making. In the cryptocurrency judgment, sadly, the bench that included Justice Nariman, stopped short of finding RBI's consultations lacking. These principles on transparent law-making should apply to technology policy and law-making, irrespective of industry. Technology will, necessarily, have far-reaching implications on multiple stakeholders, all of whom are very differently placed. As such, the only way to make informed regulatory decisions is to take into account these diverse perspectives and implications.Chaudhari and Rastogi are policy director and managing partner, respectively, Ikigai Law. Ikigai represented crypto exchanges in their Supreme Court challenge against RBI.

Saudi, Russia raise stakes in oil standoff

Posted:

Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday it would boost its oil supplies to a record high in April, raising the stakes in a standoff with Russia and effectively rebuffing Moscow's suggestion for new talks.The clash of oil titans Saudi Arabia and Russia sparked a 25% slump in crude prices on Monday, triggering panic selling on Wall Street and other equity markets that have already been badly hit by the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.Oil prices recovered some ground on Tuesday, but were still 40% down on the start of the year.U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a call on Monday to discuss global energy markets, the White House said on Tuesday.Trump is seeking re-election this year and will benefit from lower gasoline prices at the pump. But the U.S. government will also be concerned by the potential for bankruptcies in the U.S. shale industry, which plays an increasingly important economic role.Several U.S. oil firms said on Tuesday they would cut spending and dividends.Amin Nasser, chief executive of Saudi Aramco said the state-run oil giant would increase supply in April to 12.3 million barrels per day (bpd), or 300,000 bpd above its maximum production capacity, indicating it may draw from storage.Saudi Arabia has been pumping around 9.7 million bpd in the past few months, but has extra production capacity it can turn on and it has hundreds of millions of barrels of crude in store.Moscow said Russian oil companies might boost output by up to 300,000 bpd and could increase it by as much as 500,000 bpd, sending the Russian rouble and stocks plunging.U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Russia that energy markets needed to stay "orderly".Brent oil prices jumped 8% on Tuesday to above $37 per barrel after Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said Moscow was ready to discuss new measures with OPEC.Russia's Energy Ministry also called for a meeting with Russian oil firms on Wednesday to discuss future cooperation with OPEC, two sources told Reuters.But Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman appeared to rebuff the suggestion."I fail to see the wisdom for holding meetings in May-June that would only demonstrate our failure in attending to what we should have done in a crisis like this and taking the necessary measures," he told Reuters.STRAINED BUDGETSRiyadh's unprecedented hike in supply follows the collapse of talks last week between members of the OPEC+ grouping, an informal alliance of OPEC states, Russia and other producers that has propped up prices since 2016.Russia rejected OPEC's call to deepen existing supply cuts, prompting OPEC to scrap all production limits and Russia to say it would also boost output, sending crude prices briefly down to almost $31 and reviving fears of a 2014-style price crash.Saudi Arabia needs an oil price of around $80 to balance its budget, but has cash reserves and the ability to borrow to deal with a price plunge for now. Russia needs about $42 to balance its books and also has hefty cash reserves it can draw on.Iraq and some other OPEC nations, with more meagre financial resources to cope with a dramatic drop in oil revenues, called for action to shore up prices.Ratings agency Fitch said a sustained sharp drop in oil prices would hit the sovereign ratings of those exporting countries with weaker finances, particularly those with exchange rates pegged to the dollar.But even Saudi Arabia, with its hefty financial reserves and sovereign wealth fund, did not have "infinite leeway" to support its A (stable) rating, Fitch analyst Jan Friederich said.Aramco shares, which slid at the start of the week, were up 9.9% at 31.15 riyals at 1353 GMT on Tuesday but were still below their December listing price of 32 riyals.Shares in U.S. firms which had also dropped recovered slightly on Tuesday. Occidental Petroleum said it would cut dividend and spending, while Chevron said it might cut spending and production.The U.S. Department of Energy said on Tuesday it had suspended a sale of up to 12 million barrels of oil from the government's emergency crude reserve due to the price drop.OPEC+ had effectively been cutting output by 2.1 million bpd, including the extra voluntary cuts by Saudi Arabia.OPEC had sought further cuts that would have brought the total to about 3.6 million bpd or roughly 3.6% of global supplies, but Moscow's rejection of that plan led to the collapse of the whole deal.

The global mask shortage may get worse

Posted:

By K. Oanh HaMichael Einhorn's medical supply company may run out of the masks used to protect against coronavirus in two weeks unless the Chinese manufacturer of his branded equipment resumes production this week."We're having to make tough decisions every day on who gets masks and who doesn't," said Einhorn, the founder of New York-based Dealmed-Park Surgical, which employs almost 100 people. "Do masks go to the suburban hospital or the 911 responders? It's a huge responsibility, and we know we're going to make some mistakes."Einhorn's dilemma is playing out on a global stage. With the deadly virus now present in 100 countries, companies are unable to match demand for the masks needed by health workers. That's led governments to jockey for supplies, including the U.S., which is stockpiling, and Germany and South Korea, which banned exports of masks altogether.Public health officials are warning that restrictive trade measures tied to medical supplies could worsen the shortfall and risk making poorer nations more vulnerable to the coronavirus' spread. In some countries, including Japan and Germany, doctors are being told to reuse the single mask they get daily because of a lack of supply.Not Prepared"Most places are not prepared, so you now have a cascade of countries putting these export bans in place," said Stephen Morrison, director of the Global Health Policy Center at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "It's not a long-term solution. Everyone throwing up export bans isn't going to solve the problem of how you will get the products in time to serve these acute needs."Peter Navarro, a hawkish trade adviser to President Donald Trump, is also pushing the U.S. to enact an export ban on certain medical supplies like face masks and compel pharmaceutical companies to manufacture drugs domestically.Manufacturers need to boost production of masks by another 40% to meet demand, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization's director general. While the WHO has shipped supplies to 47 countries including Iran, Cambodia and Uganda, shortages will hit soon, especially of the N95 masks that block out 95% of airborne particulates to combat the current virus."Industry and governments must act quickly to boost supply, ease export restrictions and put measures in place to stop speculation and hoarding," Tedros said in a statement March 3. "We can't stop Covid-19 without protecting health workers first," he said, referring to the illness caused by the virus.Despite Tedros' appeal, South Korea, Germany and Russia announced export bans of masks and other protective gear days after. They join others nation or territories including India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Kazakhstan that earlier put export bans in place. The novel coronavirus has now spread to more than 113,000 cases globally and killed over 3,900 people.Weakest LinkPublic health experts are concerned that should more developed countries ban exports of masks and protective gear, poorer nations could be at risk of widening outbreaks, particularly among medical workers."It will paralyze and freeze up the market," said Morrison. "The accumulated impact of these measures is to create paralysis -- one big logjam."Export bans and other measures adopted by developed countries risk deepening global divisions over the virus, said Lawrence Gostin, director of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C."It would entirely unravel global cooperation if Covid-19 turned into a major killer, and we see hundreds of thousands deaths in lower income countries with relatively few deaths in the global north," said Gostin, who is also the director of the WHO's Collaborating Center on Public Health Law & Human Rights.China RelianceBefore the epidemic, China produced about half of the world's output of masks with daily production of about 20 million units, according to state media Xinhua. Factories have since boosted production more than five-fold and are enlisting carmakers to manufacture them. That's still not enough.In the U.S., increased efforts by mask makers 3M Co. and DuPont De Nemours Inc. are also falling short of demand. DuPont, which makes masks and protective body suits worn by first responders, said it's increased production by more than three times its usual global capacity. 3M, the biggest American manufacturer of N95 respirators, has increased production since the outbreak in China."We've added staff, we've added overtime, we've added technology, we've been increasing manufacturing lines," said 3M spokeswoman Jennifer Ehrlich. "We expect this demand for respirators and other supplies to continue to outpace supply for the foreseeable future."The dependence on China and a few other countries for masks has some calling for a rethink of supply chains. The World Medical Association, which represents physicians, wants governments to establish factories in major markets like the European Union and the U.S. to ensure adequate supply of critical drugs, vaccines and other medical necessities.The U.S only has about 1% of the 3.5 billion masks it needs to combat a serious outbreak, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar has said. The country plans to buy 500 million surgical masks and N95 respirators for the national stockpile.Einhorn of Dealmed thinks the shortage isn't likely to let up until the summer. The crisis may finally convince Americans to pay more for masks made in the U.S., he said. Dealmed is seeking bids for domestically-produced equipment."The world shouldn't be relying on one country for health care products," Einhorn said. "We absolutely need to look at the supply chain."--With assistance from Jenny Leonard and Richard Clough.

LVB knocks on RBI door with fund-raising plan

KOLKATA: Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB), its capital adequacy well below the minimum needed, has approached the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with a plan to raise $250-300 million (Rs 1,800-2,200 crore) from overseas investors through the sale of a 49-60% stake, said people with knowledge of the matter.The bank has been in talks with threefour investors and one of them has brought a "specific deal" to the table, said a person close to the bank, without elaborating. He said the prospective investor could act on its own or lead a consortium."We are ready to give up a controlling stake to a long-term investor," LVB chief executive S Sunder told ET. "Capital is the limiting factor for us. We are trying our best to get one investor on board at the earliest."Concerns over the private sector lender's financial health have risen after the crisis at Yes Bank, experts said. Lakshmi Vilas Bank's capital adequacy ratio is at 3.46% against the regulatory minimum of 9%. LVB had raised Rs 1,430 crore equity in 2018 and 2019 and was set for a merger with Indiabulls Housing Finance, but the RBI struck it down in October, without citing any specific reason. 74568386 "The bank is looking forward to RBI's advice on 'fit and proper' criteria of investors. That's the purpose of seeking the meeting with the RBI," said a person close to the bank. "That was the lesson LVB learnt from its failed Indiabulls Housing deal. The bank is open to anybody bringing in money. It could be the ones who have approached the regulator directly or the ones to which the bank is talking to."US-based Tilden Park Capital, which has already had a meeting with RBI but without making any specific offer, is still in the running, two people said.ET had first reported about the American alternative asset manager's interest in Lakshmi Vilas Bank on February 11.Temasek Approaches LVB ManagementIt's learnt that Temasek Holdings, which has sounded out the government on picking up a 51% stake in LVB, has approached the bank management.There's market speculation about Singaporebased DBS showing interest in the bank and talking directly to RBI on the matter.

There's a five-year lock-in period for long-term investors.Jaspal Brinda-led Centrum Capital is advising LVB in its capital hunt.The private sector lender, which is under RBI's prompt corrective action framework for severe stress with gross non-performing assets ratio at 23.27% and net NPAs at 9.81%, is looking to sell up to 320 million equity shares.The bank's stock ended Monday at Rs 13.7, down from its 52-week high of Rs 97.35. It has been on a downward journey since July 2017 when it rose to its peak of Rs 188.3.

Under the scanner: RBI to check if Yes Bank auditor BSR had raised red flags

Posted:

MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will check whether Yes Bank's statutory auditor had raised any red flags in the past year, two people aware of the development told ET. The banking regulator last week proposed a rescue of the private-sector lender that will be led by State Bank of India (SBI).The central bank has been in touch with auditor BSR & Co., which is a part of KPMG India, over the past few months. But the central bank will now specifically look at whether the auditor had issued any warnings over the past 12 months. Officials aware of the central bank's plans told ET that RBI officials had already held meetings with Yes Bank's new audit committee."The RBI wants to know whether the auditor had specified anything related to the bank's health or other issues as a going concern or raised any other red flags over the past year," said a person with direct knowledge of the matter.74568404 The central bank will also likely question the auditor on the health of the bank and whether the SBI proposal will have 'any material impact' on the private sector lender's existing accounts, said one of the persons.The RBI could also look into the impact of the reconstruction scheme on Yes Bank's financial statements, the person added.Bad Loans Under-reportedThe central bank didn't respond to ET's emailed queries. A BSR spokesperson said, "As a policy, we cannot comment on any client- or company-specific matters."The financial markets were shut in Mumbai on Tuesday due to the Holi festival."The liquidity position of the bank and several other issues would now be asked not just by the RBI, but also by the incoming investors," said the second person.Last week, RBI superseded the Yes Bank board and announced a reconstruction plan that will entail an investment of up to 49% by SBI.BSR took over as Yes Bank's auditor last year after the central bank banned SR Batliboi & Co, part of EY, for a year, possibly over alleged lapses in the audit of Yes Bank. The RBI had only said at the time that Batliboi was banned due to "lapses identified in a statutory audit assignment carried out by the firm". Yes Bank was the audit assignment that led to the ban, according to central bank and EY insiders.The central bank's move had been based on the enforcement action framework drawn up by it in June 2018. The framework listed audit lapses resulting in errors in a bank's financial statement, wrong certifications and information given by auditors, misconduct of auditors and any other violations of RBI directions as grounds to penalise auditors.The RBI's audit revealed that Yes Bank had under-reported bad loans by Rs 3,226 crore and provisions by Rs 978 crore in FY19. It first noted a divergence for FY16 to the tune of Rs 4,176 crore and then of Rs 6,355 crore in the FY17 accounts.

Crude prices may impact oil exploration firms more than OMCs

Posted:

ET Intelligence Group: A sharp fall in crude oil prices could lead to portfolio churning in energy stocks over the medium term. State-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) Bharat Petroleum Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Indian Oil Corp are likely to be preferred over oil explorer Oil & Natural Gas Corp and Oil India, as the impact of falling crude oil price on the earnings of OMCs will be lower than on exploration companies. Energy stocks have a weight of 10.1 per cent in the BSE 200 index.The state-owned OMCs derive nearly two-thirds of their gross operating profit from marketing margins — the money earned from sales of retail fuel such as petrol and diesel. Their gross marketing margins are Rs 2-2.50 per litre on retail fuel on a normalised basis. As they have passed on only partial benefits from falling crude oil prices to the consumer, the gross marketing margins expanded to Rs 6.50 and Rs 3.80 per litre for diesel and petrol, respectively, at the beginning of the March 2020.Retail prices of diesel and petrol have been cut by up to 5 per cent since the beginning of February 2020, while international Brent crude oil dropped 38 per cent in the same period, according to data compiled by ETIG. This is the prime reason for expansion of the marketing margins. The extent of the marketing margin benefit will hinge on how the union government tweaks its excise duty in the next few days. During the last major correction seen in crude oil price, the government hiked excise duty to boost its revenue.The impact of every 50 paise increase in the marketing margin could potentially lift expected earnings of the OMCs for the next fiscal year in the range of 15-30 per cent. The biggest beneficiary will be HPCL, followed by BPCL and IOC. HPCL's proportion of marketing sales to refinery throughput is the highest. In the first nine months of FY20, HPCL had domestic marketing sales of 29 million tonnes, while its refinery throughput was 12.6 mt. BPCL had marketing sales of 32.4 mt and refining throughput of 23.5 mt. The benefit accrued from higher marketing margin minimises the earnings hit coming from the refinery segment due to inventory losses.Apart from marketing margin expansion, lower crude price reduces the working capital requirement of the OMCs and also lowers the amount of outstanding subsidy payment on LPG and kerosene from the government. The oil subsidy burden was Rs 28,684 crore and Rs 43,387 crore for FY18 and FY19, respectively, according to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell.The shares of HPCL, BPCL and IOC are trading at1.07, 2.37 and 0.83 times their book value, which is 16-46 per cent lower than their five-year average. In the past five years, the market value of state-owned OMCs has doubled, while that of oil explorers has shrunk to half.

India Inc’s FY20 topline growth likely to be the weakest in 4 years

Posted:

ET Intelligence Group: India Inc's revenue growth is likely to hit a fouryear low in the ongoing financial year, as slack demand in the first nine months and a higher base due to double-digit revenue increase in the previous fiscal year are expected to play spoilsport.Revenue of companies in the BSE 500 grew 2.4 per cent on average between April and December, the slowest pace since the same period in financial year 2016, an analysis by ET Intelligence Group showed.In the absence of any major sign of a turnaround, these companies may find it difficult to clock substantial revenue growth for the ongoing fiscal year given the steep 17.5 per cent growth seen in the year-ago period, which serves as a high base.ETIG surveyed 423 companies which reported financial numbers since financial year 2014 to arrive at the conclusion.Sales growth in the nine-month period of the ongoing fiscal year was lower due to poor showing by companies in the auto and ancillaries, cement, construction, metals, and oil and gas sectors. In comparison, it increased 29.3 per cent in the first nine months of the previous fiscal year, the analysis showed. 74562544 Net profit fell by 6.8 per cent in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year after losses at telecom service providers. It was the sharpest fall in at least five years.Separately, Care Ratings said in its report on India Inc's performance for the nine-month period that the "top-line of (our) sample set of companies analysed has been subdued and indicative of overall slowdown in various industries."ETIG's analysis also showed that for companies in the Nifty 50 index, net sales grew 2.1 per cent compared with the higher base of 37.6 per cent in the corresponding period of the previous year.Net profit rose 11.2 per cent, helped by a reduction in the corporate tax rate, compared to the tepid 0.4 per cent growth in the year-ago period. For the nine months to December 2019, the Nifty sample's effective tax rate fell to 26.6 per cent from 32.7 per cent a year ago."It appears that most of the Nifty earnings per share (EPS) growth in the first nine months of FY20 has come primarily due to the corporate tax cut announced in September 2019," Emkay Global Research said in a report. "With the asking rate for Q4FY20 and FY21 being high, we foresee further earnings cuts going forward."Other brokerages have turned bearish on India Inc's FY20 earnings growth given the slowing pace in the fiscal year so far."For FY20, our Nifty EPS estimate is revised down marginally to Rs 527 (from Rs 538), and we now expect 9 per cent profit growth for the Nifty, singularly led by Financials," Motilal Oswal Financial Services said in a report.

Core business transformation driving services growth at IBM

Posted:

Companies using cognitive technologies for core business functions rather than just peripheral ones are helping drive most new growth at IBM Global Services, a senior executive said."The end-to-end transformation of mission critical activities is driving a lot of our growth around the world. In banking, it would be about the core payment solutions, or the supply chain in manufacturing," said Mark Foster, senior vice-president, IBM Services and Global Business Services.All companies were becoming technology and platform companies in their own right, as they figure out what business platforms they will compete on and the technology that will drive their businesses."We are helping build those new platforms and transform every process using some combination of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and enabled massively by cloud-based architectures," he said.In India, a similar transformation is under way, with demand coming from multiple business transformation requirements.Berger Paints in India has worked with IBM to create a virtual reality experience on its consumer apps to drive outreach and engagement. Users can look at multiple options in 3D, helping them make informed buying decisions. This helps reduce sales convergence, in addition to increasing brand engagement.The other change, said Foster, has been towards smaller engagements."It's about delivering value on more mission-critical and holistic solutions in shorter timeframes rather than a big transformation journey. That's the way clients are looking to partner," he said.In India, demand is also being driven by the shift towards automation."Industries are looking beyond their market to expand their portfolio and look at adjacencies and create new value streams and business models," said Kamal Singhani, Managing Partner, Global Business Services, IBM India/South Asia.The company is working with Sriram Transport Finance (STF), an NBFC with a strong presence in commercial vehicle financing, on its digital transformation exercise. With the segment under stress, STF was looking to enhance fee income and increase productivity of existing relationship executives, among other things.IBM helped it create a platform that would enable executives cross-sell and be more productive as well as target the allied needs of the client. This, in turn, would increase potential fee from customers and help disrupt the traditional financing industry.The software major had to make employees ready for the shift in technology, in order to help clients leverage the technology. IBM's services business employs 250,000 people.It is a massive amount of capability to harness, but that capability needs to evolve in terms of skills. "We have to be more granular in terms of how we build our capabilities in new areas and help them actively skill themselves. It's also about how teams can come together under new models," said Foster.

Tata Steel Europe to cut 1,250 jobs in turnaround push

Posted:

Tata Steel Europe is planning to cut 1,250 jobs as it faces "challenging circumstances" and "needs to urgently improve profitability", Chief Executive Officer Henrik Adam said in an internal memo seen by Reuters on Tuesday. "Our financial situation is serious and there's an urgent priority to improve the performance of the business and our cash position," Adams said in the memo. Besides the job cuts, which would be less than half of what the company had announced last year, Tata Steel said it will not replace employees who have retired or left the company. It had in November decided to cut 3,000 jobs across its European business. The company has outlined details of a transformation programme and continues to be in talks with its European works council to minimise job losses, according to the memo. "Although it's good news that we are able to minimise the impact on our current employees, we need to progress with speed to secure the future for the business," Adam said. In response to the Tata Steel's plans, Britain's Unite union has called https://unitetheunion.org/news-events/news/2020/march/urgent-talks-call-as-tata-steel-job-losses-across-europe-on-cards for "urgent talks" with the company to discuss the implication on the company's UK operations, including the Port Talbot site in South Wales.

Little left for yield curve if more LTROs announced, say experts
What is interesting to note is the fact that the spread between the short-term bond yields and the repo has come down so much that the attractiveness of borrowing via LTROs and investing in short-tenor bonds has come down.
