The Times of India: Game, Set, No Match
Tennis administrators have the tools to
tackle सामना करना corruption,
now summon बुलाना the will to act
Match fixing has allegedly कथित रूप से spread फैलना its tentacles शिकंजा into another sport:
tennis. The year's first Grand Slam in Australia has been impaired दुर्बल by media
reports that as many as eight players in the tournament are under suspicion
सन्देह करना for match fixing. Even the world's best player, Novak Djokovic,
has said that he once rejected an offer of money to throw a match. Once
suspicion about a contest's integrity ईमानदारी seeps
रिसना in, sport is robbed of its essence सारांश. If
suspicion is not to destroy tennis, it is imperative अत्यावश्यक the
game's administrators step in and clean up the mess गड़बड़.
Tennis
fans are unlikely to be entirely surprised by match fixing allegations as lower
ranked players have been punished for corruption in the past. But reports
leaked by whistleblowers मुखबिर suggest that the rot runs
deep.
The blame
आरोप for it has to rest with administrators as
despite being aware of the problem for over eight years, there hasn't been
visible action.
Many
small tournaments between Grand Slams provided opportunities for match fixing
by gambling syndicates संघ बनाना without
attracting enough scrutiny छानबीन . But
even now, decisive सोचा समझा steps can retrieve वापस पा लेना the
situation.
Tennis's
administrative structure has in place the basic ingredients मसाला to
tackle corruption. An anti-corruption code enforced लागू by a dedicated एक ही कार्य करने में सक्षम team
created to tackle corruption exists. It can be effective if administrators
summon the will to act. If we are today aware of the scale of the problem, it
is on account of investigations carried out अंजाम देना by the
game's governing body . But the painstaking बहुत ही सावधानीपूर्वक किया गया effort
in unearthing अचानक पा जाना instances of abuse by top ranked players will be in vain if
administrators engage in a cover-up. Tennis Integrity Unit, the game's watchdog रखवाली करने वाला कुत्ता, must be
empowered सशक्त to carry
out its mandate जनादेश ( and root
out rotten बहुत बेक़ार
elements.
The Economic Times:Time to be Bold, Not Fiscally आर्थिक दृष्टि से Constrained मजबूर
The imperative अनिवार्यता
is to step up investment
Should the government defer देर करना fiscal धन संबंधी
consolidation
एकीकरण further
or stick to its schedule and compress सिकोड़ना the
fiscal deficit to 3.5% of GDP in the forthcoming आगामी Budget?
Even the framing of the question in this manner makes assumptions अनुमान that do not hold in the
economy at present. `Fiscal consolidation' comes across as a virtue प्रभाव , because its absence is
normally associated with macroeconomic imbalance असंतुलन. But the
current conditions are not normal. The world economy is in torpor उदासीनता. India's
internal investment story is not even sound and fury , if you leave aside
एक किनारे some e-commerce firms. Credit grows at a snail's pace. Spare
capacity exists in most consumer goods sectors, obviating अनावश्यक करना
investment. Infrastructure investment is hostage बंधक to
debt-crippled बन्धक firms. The state sector has to act to boost प्रोत्साहन investment.
That is the basic macroeconomic imperative.
Why is a
fiscal deficit not desirable in normal times?
Because it makes a demand on private sector savings that competes मुक़ाबला करना with the private sector's own demand to finance its investment, leading to excess demand that spills over as inflation and a wider current account deficit. In a situation in which the private sector's own investment demand is tepid बेमन से दिया गया to cold, there is little danger of public borrowings competing with private borrowings for the same quantum हिस्सा of private savings. On the other hand, if state sector investment generates new demand, it could crowd in fresh private investment to meet that demand. In other words, a fiscal deficit that boosts investment at a time when the private sector is chary खबरदार of investing is a virtue सदाचार, not a sin पापकर्म.

This is
not to say that the government should not try harder to cut back on wasteful
subsidies, by employing direct benefit transfer wherever possible, or to raise
additional resources by widening the tax base and administering taxes better.
Nor should any effort be spared छोड़ देना to get
additional chunks टुकड़े करना of
surplus global savings into the National Infrastructure Investment Fund that
would invest in India's infrastructure. India cannot allow rating agencies to
dictate आज्ञा देना its policy priorities, that is all.
