Piyush Goyal Thursday said that India will be cautious in its opening up process till the time it is an emerging economy and it has to maintain a balance between protecting the needs of industry and the different levels of economic development of other countries and non-market economies when it comes to investment. At an event organised by the UK-India Business Council, he also said that India is going to bring out a new legal framework to ensure data privacy that would encourage free flow of data among trusted partners. “Till we are yet an emerging economy or a developed economy, I'll certainly need to have a little bit more caution in my opening up process,” Goyal said.

Ferrari, albeit one that strays from the automaker’s usual playbook. The Purosangue (named after an Italian word that means thoroughbred) is the first Prancing Horse with four doors, two of which are rear-hinged and open in a dramatic fashion. This is a Ferrari you can take along the beaten path; though it is highly unlikely its owners will ever do that. But the overwhelming silence and vastness of the desert roads formed a perfect backdrop to soak in the Purosangue’s guttural-yet-refined engine roar. The Purosangue is not a low-slung track monster with a singular focus of pursuing relentless speed, but an all-weather, practical supercar. Its silhouette is more crossover-like, and its bonnet is stretched because of the huge V12 engine up front. Its headlamps have an angry stare, yet it transfixes you in a mesmerising way.

Amazon will likely face an EU investigation next year into whether it favours its own brand products on its online marketplace as European antitrust regulators build up a case under landmark rules, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. The US online retailer could face a fine of up to 10% of its global annual turnover if it is found guilty of breaching the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) which seeks to rein in the power of Big Tech. The timing and decision on whether to go ahead with an investigation will be taken by incoming EU antitrust chief Terera Ribera in the coming months, the people said. The Spaniard is set to take up her post next month, replacing outgoing Margrethe Vestager.

Russia-Ukraine war completes 1,000 days, it is veering into dangerous territory. While Donald Trump waits in the wings to take over the presidency, the Biden administration, as well as the UK, have allowed Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia with long-range missiles provided by both the countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier drawn a red line over long-range strikes into Russia with American and British missiles. He had said Ukraine is incapable of launching NATO-provisioned long-range missiles without obtaining targeting data and assistance from the US and its allies, which would mean any such attack would involve the West. In the past few days, a series of developments has brought back the fears of a wider conflict which many apprehend can even turn into a nuclear conflict. The latest is Russia firing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from the Astrakhan region on Thursday into Ukraine, marking the first use of such a weapon in the 33-month-long war, according to Ukraine's air force.

According to the latest Janus Henderson Global Dividend index, dividends were up 3.1% in Q3 year-on-year on both a headline and underlying basis, with 88% of companies globally maintaining or raising payouts.

This was mainly attributed to Evergreen Marine in Taiwan and Glencore in the UK, whose payout reductions impacted the Q3 growth rate by 3.4% between them. Global dividends surg...
