  The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook, slashed its FY23 growth forecast for India from its July projection of 7.4 percent to 6.8 percent Indian Economy IMF has cut its FY23 growth forecast for India by 60 basis points from its July projection of 7.4 percent to 6.8 percent. This is the steepest cut made by the multilateral body for any major economy other than the US. The IMF’s current move follows the World Bank’s slashing of its FY2023 growth projection for India from the earlier prediction of 7.5 percent to 6.5 percent. Several other agencies have also slashed India’s GDP forecast in the recent weeks, including the RBI. The recent prediction of the IMF reflects “a weaker-than-expected outturn” in the June quarter, a severe fall in external demand and tightening of interest rates by key central banks. However, India is expected to remain the fastest growing economy in the world. The IMF has retained its FY24 growth forecast at 6.1 percent. This moderat

  What is a bomb cyclone? Bomb cyclone is an extra-tropical weather phenomenon that develops by a process called bombogenesis. It is a pressure system that develops upon contact between a warm air mass or a low pressure air mass and a cold air mass or a high pressure air mass. A low pressure system is said to be a bomb cyclone if its pressure drops by 24 millibars within 24 hours. The pressure gradient between the two air masses causes the winds to intensify. The Earth’s rotation causes the winds to blow in a cyclonic manner. For instance, in the Northern Hemisphere, the winds blow in a counter-clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect i.e. deflection caused by the planet’s rotation. Such bomb cyclones lead to heavy snowfall and blizzards. They tend to significantly disrupt every-day life. Given the climate change, bomb cyclones are expected to become more common in the future. The Arctic region is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the world, resulting in a weakening of th

  Scotland and Spain have recently passed gender reform laws to make it easier for individuals to change their legally registered gender without requiring any medical supervision. The new Spanish law requires minors aged 12 and 13 years to receive the judge’s authorization to change their gender. Those minors aged between 14 and 16 years will have to be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians. Up until now, Spanish transgender people are required to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which refers to the psychological condition of not feeling a match between one’s biological sex and gender identity. Under the new legislation, any individual applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate must have lived full-time in the declared identity for 3 months (6 months in case they are aging between 16 and 17 years). Previously, the individual was required to have lived full-time in the declared identity for 2 years. In some cases, the individuals were mandated to provide proof that they
