3 Vijayawada airport to be upgraded to International level The Cabinet also approved up gradation of Vijayawada Airport in Andhra Pradesh at International level. It will improve the connectivity of the state and provide wider choice of service at competitive cost to air travelers. India s Current Sovereign Ratings Fitch, in its latest rating review, has affirmed India s sovereign rating at BBB-, which is the lowest investment grade rating. Despite pressure from the government and corporate for an upgrade in the rating, Fitch has kept its sovereign rating on India unchanged. Although Fitch acknowledged India s strong growth and recent economic reforms, it has a given a BBB- rating owing to the weak state of the government s finances. According to the rating agency, India s general government debt burden was 67.9% of GDP whereas the BBB median is 40.9%. Also, Fitch has estimated a wide fiscal balance of -6.6% of GDP for FY17. Similarly, India s long-term foreign and local-currency issuer default ratings were also fixed at BBB-. Fitch expects a strong medium-term growth outlook as well as favourable external balances with a weak fiscal position and difficult business environment. However, it expects the business environment to gradually improve with the implementation of the government s structural reform agenda. Fitch has said that economy of the country is less developed on a number of structural metrics. In India, the average per capita GDP remains low at $1,714, whereas the BBB range median is $9,701. It has also observed that the governance standards of 3

4 India also remain weak as evident from the World Bank governance indicator for India at 46th percentile when compared to the BBB median of 58th percentile.

5 Apple s Cash Reserve worth 2/3rd of India s Forex Reserve Apple has reported over $256 billion in cash and marketable securities. In the previous year, Apple s earnings report for the January-March quarter was $233 billion. According to the rating agencies, the cash reserve possessed by the company is more than Google, Microsoft and Amazon s total cash. Compared to Apple s $256 billion, Microsoft has $126 billion, Alphabet has $92 billion, Amazon has $22 billion and Facebook s quarter one earnings stood at $29.45 billion. The reported cash reserve is more than that of the big companies in the world like Verizon, Oracle, Walmart, and Visa among others.
