If you want to understand the banking industry over the long term, one of the most important principles to learn is that of the “regulatory pendulum”.  Things come and go, every action has an eventual reaction.  Deregulation brings speculation, speculation causes crisis, crisis leads to harsh regulation.  But after a while, every financial centre realises that they might be able to steal a bit of market share by relaxing the rules a little bit, and the deregulatory cycle begins to turn again.

BJP) is targeting political gains from government employees by offering a Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) that includes a 50% salary as pension and inflation adjustment, countering the Congress's promise of a return to the unfunded Old Pension Scheme (OPS), a ToI report said on August 25. This move comes ahead of key assembly polls in Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand. Recently, some government employees were influenced by Congress's OPS promise, particularly in Himachal Pradesh, said the report (by Akhilesh Singh). Government cadres have traditionally been a solid vote bank for the BJP, especially in Delhi, where elections are imminent in February. However, the demand for restoring OPS was leveraged by Congress in recent state elections to challenge the BJP. This tactic appeared effective in Himachal Pradesh, a state where government employees have significant influence. Despite this, BJP managed to win both Lok Sabha and assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh without much damage from the OPS issue. The dissatisfaction among some government employees was noticeable during the Lok Sabha polls, although it was less pronounced than in state elections. Observers suggested that this discontent could be influential in upcoming election battles.

Paris will again be the centre of attention when the City of Lights hosts the 17 h Paralympic Games. India have sent 84 para-athletes, who will be aiming for the country’s highest-ever medal haul at the Paralympics. India won a solitary medal in London 2012, a number that went up to 4 in 2016 Rio and 19 in 2021 Tokyo. If the athletes perform to potential, it could cross 25 in Paris.
