India is likely to grow 6-6.3 per cent in the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, Deloitte India said in its economic outlook, forecasting growth surpassing 7 per cent over the next two years if global uncertainties recede. With the probability associated with a recession in major industrial countries this year trimming, several economic indicators such as the tight labour markets and reduced risk spreads post the US banking crisis suggest that downside risks to global growth are subsiding. Yet, there remain significant uncertainties around the actions of the central banks of major economies and the oil price movements, the economic outlook said. "Amid continuing global uncertainties, India continues to see strong economic activity," it said. "Keeping in view the resilience shown by the economy, Deloitte is optimistic about the outlook and has put out its expectation for this year and the next. Deloitte expects India to grow between 6 per cent and 6.3 per cent

Adani Group-owned Mundra port in Gujarat handled over 5,300 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in July 2023.

The government has ratified the rate of interest at 8.15 per cent rate on deposits under the Employees Provident Fund scheme for the financial year 2022-23. Retirement fund body EPFO on March 28, 2023, had marginally raised the interest rate on employees' provident fund (EPF) deposits to 8.15 per cent for 2022-23 for its over six crore subscribers.

In financial systems, change often comes incrementally, built upon existing infrastructure. But there are moments when innovation ushers in a sweeping transformation. Such is the case with decentralized finance, commonly referred to as DeFi. This pioneering force is poised not just to disrupt but to revolutionize the traditional financial industry. The principle underlying DeFi is as elegant as it is groundbreaking: decentralization. DeFi envisages a democratized financial ecosystem that eschews centralized authority by employing blockchain technology, the robust engine powering cryptocurrencies. The network participants themselves regulate this transparent and inclusive system, circumventing banks, governments, and financial institutions. A glance back at the financial landscape of 2009 reveals the launch of Bitcoin, the trailblazing decentralized cryptocurrency. Its primary objective was to emancipate financial transactions from the chains of centralized oversight. Today, the BTC
