how to sell pi coins on Bitmart crypto exchangeDOT TECH
Yes. Pi network coins can be exchanged but not on bitmart exchange. Because pi network is still in the enclosed mainnet. The only way pioneers are able to trade pi coins is by reselling the pi coins to pi verified merchants.
A verified merchant is someone who buys pi network coins and resell it to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.

Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

The Evolution of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India: Challenges...beulahfernandes8
Role in Financial System
NBFCs are critical in bridging the financial inclusion gap.
They provide specialized financial services that cater to segments often neglected by traditional banks.
Economic Impact
NBFCs contribute significantly to India's GDP.
They support sectors like micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), housing finance, and personal loans.
The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Reports
Fourth Quarter/Full Year 2001 Results
• Fourth-quarter 2001 earnings of $0.46 per diluted share include an $0.11 per
diluted share after-tax charge for workforce reduction related costs. Without the
charge, earnings were $0.57 per diluted share, compared with fourth-quarter 2000
earnings of $0.65 per diluted share.
• Freight revenues were $2.27 billion for the fourth-quarter 2001 on over 3 percent
higher ton-miles, 2 percent lower than fourth-quarter 2000 revenues of $2.32
billion.
• Free cash flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 was
$443 million, an increase of 3 percent over the prior year.
FORT WORTH, Texas, January 22, 2002 - - Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation
(BNSF) (NYSE: BNI) today reported fourth-quarter 2001 earnings of $0.46 per diluted share,
which includes a $42 million after-tax charge for workforce reduction related costs. Without the
charge, fourth-quarter earnings per share is $0.57 per diluted share compared with fourth-quarter
2000 earnings of $0.65 per diluted share.
“Despite the U.S. recession, BNSF generated $443 million of free cash flow, a 3 percent
improvement over last year. Additionally, we operated the railroad at the highest level of fourth-
quarter on-time performance since the BNSF merger,” said Matthew K. Rose, President and
Chief Executive Officer. “BNSF’s continued focus is on revenue quality, operating expense
efficiencies and free cash flow while providing transportation services that consistently meet
customers' expectations.”

4. Freight revenues for the 2001 fourth quarter were $2.27 billion, 2 percent lower on over 3
percent higher ton-miles compared with the same 2000 period. Agricultural Products revenues
increased $20 million, or 5 percent, to $415 million, primarily due to increases in demand for
soybeans, wheat and flour. Coal revenues increased $18 million, or 3 percent, to $546 million on
9 percent higher volumes as a result of increased demand for electricity and new business.
Industrial Products revenues fell $13 million or 3 percent, to $492 million because of continued
production cutbacks affecting most sectors. Consumer Products revenues decreased $68 million,
or 8 percent, to $819 million, primarily reflecting decreases in automotive shipments as well as
fewer domestic intermodal shipments resulting from the economic slowdown. However, BNSF
had a 9 percent volume gain in its truckload business in the fourth quarter.
Operating expenses of $1.83 billion, excluding the charge, were up $34 million or
slightly less than 2 percent on over 3 percent higher ton-miles. Reductions in fuel and equipment
rents expenses generally offset increases in compensation and benefits and other cost categories.
Operating income was $472 million, excluding the charge, for fourth-quarter 2001
compared with $544 million a year ago.
Full-Year 2001 Results
BNSF’s earnings per share including unusual items for the year ended December 31,
2001 was $1.87 on a diluted basis compared with earnings of $2.36 per diluted share in the prior
period.
Without unusual items, BNSF’s 2001 earnings per share was $2.08 on a diluted basis
compared with earnings of $2.45 per diluted share for the same period last year. Freight
revenues for the year were $9.09 billion, a decrease of less than 1 percent compared with 2000.
Operating expenses of $7.39 billion for 2001 increased by $330 million or 5 percent on 2 percent
higher ton-miles. Operating income fell to $1.79 billion from $2.15 billion for 2000.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the 2001 fourth quarter, BNSF repurchased 2.0 million shares at an average price
of $26.96 per share. This brings total repurchases under BNSF’s 120 million share-repurchase
program to 103.1 million shares as of December 31, 2001 at an average price of $25.74 per share
since the program was announced in July 1997.
