Poor nations face peril over elusive G-20 debt relief push: An analysis

A failure to secure meaningful progress on a relief for the world's poorest nations at the Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meeting in Washington has left policymakers, campaigners and investors frustrated. The world's poorest countries face $35 billion in debt-service payments to official and private-sector creditors in 2022, more than 40% of that is due to China, the World Bank found. The Common Framework is a good start, but you need some fixes." China's role as a lender to poorer nations and Beijing's foot-dragging on debt relief drew much ire at the Washington meeting. JPMorgan's Joyce Chang, whose bank held an investor seminar alongside the IMF World Bank gathering, said asset managers had more discussions on repayment challenges and restructurings for emerging markets than at any time since the 1990s.

Cricket festival like never before: India-Pakistan fans light up MCG

It was even humbling for Indian team skipper Rohit Sharma, who looked a touch emotional as he looked heavenwards, trying hard to keep his emotions under check. At the famous Federation square, India and Pakistan fans danced together and yelled their guts out, easily crossing the permissible decibel limit. One Sardarji took it upon himself and shouted 'Ganpati Bappa Maurya' and, in unison, the entire Indian lot joined. One enthusiastic Indian reporter (don't know whether from a channel or an YouTuber) asked the elderly gentleman "Baba ji, kya aap Indian team ko Ashirwad denge". The supporters from the two nations, who share a common border, also share their common love for the game.

All about using experience================Kohli had pulled off a similarly incredible chase six years ago in Mohali, during a knock-out T20 World Cup game against Australia. Flicked six off Rauf made us believe we can do it==============================What had floored Rohit was how the duo (Kohli-Pandya) planned their 113-run stand. Rohit said he knew that once Mohammed Nawaz was hit for two sixes in his first over, he won't be given a ball.

Here's why Indians might have a good reason to celebrate Rishi Sunak

This Diwali was triply blessed for people of Indian origin across the world: India beat Pakistan at cricket, and a British Indian became prime minister of the United Kingdom. He is the first British prime minister of color; the first who is openly and proudly not a Christian; the first child of two immigrants. One Labour MP tweeted that this “wasn’t a win for Asian representation,” because Sunak is also absurdly wealthy. Sunak does not transcend or defy the common clichés about Indian immigrants. For his part, Sunak has reappointed Suella Braverman — another British Indian — as Home secretary, just weeks after she caused a stir by singling out Indian immigrants for criticism.
