What are subsidies?
Subsidies are the money the government gives to the public or
corporates for selling essential goods and services at cheaper rates.
Simply put, it is the opposite of taxation. There are two different kinds of subsidies – growth oriented and welfare oriented. Reduction in fuel and food costs is an example of welfare-oriented subsidies. The government also sometimes gives money to companies or farmers for operating in certain industries.
These are examples of growth-oriented subsidies. These subsidies encourage companies to operate in industries that may have high business costs, but are still important for the public and the economy.
The oil marketing industry is the best example of this. These companies sell fuel at cheaper rates, incurring a loss. Yet, fuel plays a very important role in the economy. So, to encourage companies to operate in this environment, the government pays them subsidies to make up for the loss.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

ATS Company Reports: Aegis logistics
1.
2. Company Details

and exporters of oil, gas, chemicals and petrochemical products . Aegis is primarily engaged in 2 broad
segments liquid terminal services and gas storage and distribution. Aegis is a leading provider of terminal
and logistics services to importers and exporters of oil, chemicals and petroleum products.
Healthy revenue diversity Aegis handles 40-50 types of chemicals and caters to a diverse customer base
with no single customer accounting for more than 10% of revenue. Also, Aegis’ revenue profile in the gas
storage and distribution business improved on account of its acquisition of the gas logistic service business
of Hindustan Aegis LPG Ltd’s (HALPG) and the expansion of the auto LPG business. This product and
customer diversity has resulted in de-risking the company’s business profile, besides providing revenue
stability.
Currently, Aegis Logistics has two operating port terminals in Mumbai (273,000KL), one in Kochi (51,000KL),
and another in Haldia (45100KL). Its expansions at Haldia (15,000KL) and Pipavav (120,000KL), with a total
capacity of 135,000KL, which are expected to become operational from Q4FY14 and H2FY15, respectively,
would provide incremental revenue/profitability in FY15. Aegis’ liquid segment revenues have been growing

.
4. Industry Details
The logistics sector in India is evolving rapidly and its growth is dominated by the interplay of infrastructure,
technology and new types of service providers that will determine whether the industry is able to help its
customers to reduce logistics costs and provide effective services or not. Changing government policies on
taxation and regulation of service providers is going to play an important role in this process.
The logistics sector has attracted a large amount of investment in the past years and in future the sector
could witness the same due to rising demand for logistics driven by industries like automobile, retail, pharma
etc. There is significant rise in the demand for third party logistics providers in the sector as well, which is led
by TVS Logistics today and has few capable competitors.
The sector provides lucrative business opportunities today for new players in terms of margins, low-entry
barriers and high growth prospects. Proper infrastructure support by the government and competition from
the unorganized sector are major challenges in the growth of the logistics sector. The current size of the
Indian Logistics Industry is estimated around $225bn and is expected to reach around $350bn by 2015.
As per industry estimates as provided by the Fitch Rating Agency, there is a positive future outlook for the
Indian Logistics Industry and it is estimated that the industry will grow at 15-20% over the next few years
Several factors helped the growth of logistics industry in India over the last decade that include changing tax
system as well as a rapid growth in industries such as automobile, pharmaceuticals, FMCG and retail
70% of the total domestic product is transported through the road network and 15% through the rail network.
Domestic companies are willing to expand their efficiency to meet rising demand globally according to a
study by industry body ASSOCHAM.
