Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

A Threat or an Opportunity ?



Unemployment in 17 countries of Euro Zone is climbing steadily over the years


Before the financial crisis of 2008 , it was 7.5 %


In April 2014 , it reached 12.2 % , with 19.38 million unemployed ( out of a population of about 330 million )


By Dec 2014 , it is expected to reach 20 million


Country-wise figures are as follows :



---------------------------------------------
Country                    % age Unemployed 
               Youth % ( 16-25 Years )
-----------------------------------------------------------

 Greece  ................   
27...........................................   62.5

 Spain   ..................  26.8.......................................    56.4

Portugal  ................  17.8  ......................................   42.5

Italy  ...................... 12  .........................................   40.5

Netherland ..............  6.5  ......................................    10.6

Austria  ................... 4.9  ........................................   8.0

Germany  .............    5.4  .........................................  7.5

What does this mean to India  ?


*   If their own economies do not expand fast enough ( highly unlikely , in short term ) , to absorb their own jobless citizens , would these countries try to aggressively " export " their goods and services to developing countries like India  ?

That might affect our own employment  !


*    Should India open up its market to these countries ( FDI etc ) , in return for their agreeing  to liberal / unrestricted, import of Indian goods and services ?



Considering that NaMo is ,


*  an OPTIMIST ( remember , " glass half full with water and half full with air " ? ),

*  an astute Gujju businessman ,


I am sure , he will find means to exploit this situation to India's advantage  !
