The Finance Minister Shri Mukherjee said that he is confident that moderation in inflation would continue in the coming months though softening in the prices of manufactured goods despite the rapid decline in non-food primary inflation may be more gradual. The Finance Minister said that headline inflation should be between 6 and 7 per cent in March end 2012.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Union Finance Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee said though second quarter (Q2) estimates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are low by our recent growth experience yet considering the current global context and the slowdown in the domestic industrial sector, the growth performance is not all that disappointing. Earlier the Central Statistical Organisation(CSO) has released the second quarter (Q2) estimates of the Gross Domestic Product. The GDP growth in Q2 2011-12 at factor cost and at 2004-05 prices is estimated at 6.9 per cent. With that the first half (H1) growth for 2011-12 amounts to 7.3 per cent in real terms.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week saw a series of financial scams in the state of Rajasthan and Jaipur in particular. The reason for all such financial scams is obvious – greed of making the quick buck at both ends. Investors as well as the company floating such schemes. So long as the cycle continues smoothly, it’s fine but the moment defaults start occur, the writing on the wall becomes clear. It is a universal fact that one should not expect abnormal returns as one can not earn returns which are exceptionally higher than what the market can deliver. If we are able to understand this, we will realize that no one on this earth can fetch you higher than market returns – not even God. Yes, it can happen only in a game of chance or winning a lottery.]]></description>
