The Finapolis Magazine - September 2016

In this issue

Finapolis’ September issue loads up on central banking. Urjit Patel has succeeded Raghuram Rajan as governor of India's central bank. We look at the challenges and issues that he faces in his new role, and note that Patel is unlikely to be all that different from Rajan. We decipher the meaning of hawks and doves, the standard for shorthand classification of central bankers worldwide, and offer a world map with global interest rates, which shows just how difficult the job of a central banker has become. On the personal finance front, we suggest investing 10% of your EMI in a mutual fund every month; then letting the returns from this installment support your loan repayment. What are the best places to park your funds if interest rates start to decrease? We tell you. There's also a quiz on India’s natural resources, a piece on how to avoid 'text neck' due to excessive laptop/ tablet/ mobile usage, and charts that reveal dietary habits in four Asian countries. We also cover India’s plans to recontact the Sentinelese, an isolated tribe in the Andamans. Grab your copy now!
