Tourism is Sri Lanka's 5th biggest foreign revenue source & was already struggling out of the pandemic. The political upheaval may limit the summer bounce that could have revived the industry. How bad will it get? #chartoftheday Chart src: ow.ly/iAjc50J6MLr

Fascinating analysis by @CSIS on how China's urban/rural divide might hinder its growth. If China can avoid the middle income trap, it could serve as a model to other modernizing countries in South Asia. #chinaeconomy #chartoftheday Src: ow.ly/389I50J9gv3
Good to see a global leader be this transparent. The dire economic crisis in Sri Lanka is both hard to believe and illustrative of how fragile many developing economies are. #SriLankaEconomicCrisis
1. The next couple of months will be the most difficult ones of our lives. I have no desire to hide the truth and to lie to the public. Although these facts are unpleasant and terrifying, this is the true situation. #SriLankaEconomicCrisis

While there has been a cultural push to emphasize Hindi among political stakeholders, English's status as the primary business language does not help the case. Very interesting analysis by the @livemint #chartoftheday src: ow.ly/NWt650J6Nfs

Indians are traveling again. Early data suggests they are seeking out warmer climates and staying closer to home. As we enter a post-pandemic phase, it should be interesting to see how the population's travel preferences change. #chartoftheday src: ow.ly/Jbww50J6L1l

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been selling, driven by global interest rate hikes. The region is seeing mixed results due to commodities, but what will be the macro effects on the Indian economy, short & long term? #indianeconomy #chartoftheday ow.ly/M0a950J0GlZ

Heatwaves and growth will drive ridiculous growth in India's power demand. Even with blackouts, the country's biggest issue may be a lack of coal - the current heatwave has reserves to the lowest level in 10 years. #chartoftheday #power #coal Src: ow.ly/jH3N50J0GQx
Indian exports surged to highest ever for the year ending in Mar 22 - but so did imports. Rice, sugar, & wheat exports had record years, but veg oil imports surged. How will the #ukraine conflict affect Indian food exports? #indianeconomy #chartoftheday ow.ly/eX3R50J0EBK

"There's enormous potential" for companies to be a force for positive change, says Luigi Zingales, a professor at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. The challenge is to figure out where corporations can actually effect change. axios.com/chief-purpose-offi…

"The stakeholder model is one where companies optimize not for short-term profits, but long-term value creation, taking into account all of their stakeholders." To successfully implement this model, companies must develop a #ProductSocietyFit ow.ly/92eK50DsI5O

By developing a product-society fit, companies can create shareholder and stakeholder value. Case in point: @GM By investing in where society is going, it has signaled a commitment to lead the EV revolution. Shareholders saw a 25% increase in their stocks as a result.

For years, @exxonmobil has been out of step with the growing climate movement in society and they are now facing pressure to change. #climatechange #business ow.ly/5Nsw50DjNO7

"The biggest challenge, said Mr. Hilgenberg, isn’t the technology, it is the mind-set of the people—their reluctance to embrace radical change until circumstances force them to." Great @WSJ @berlindiary piece about @VW's rocky start to their #EV ambition ow.ly/WxDw50Ddy9L
