1 International Developments Bank of Canada raised its target for the overnight rate to 1% citing strongerthan-expected economic performance warranting a removal of some of the considerable stimulus in place and signaled further tightening may be curbed by a rising currency and sluggish price pressures. The US Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged but signaled one more increase in 2017and set an October start for shrinking holdings of US Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities acquired in the years after the 2008 financial crisis. It forecast only two increases in 2019 and one in Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said gradually raising interest rates is the most appropriate policy approach amid higher uncertainty about inflation. Bank of Canada strongly indicated its concerns about the Canadian dollar's recent gains. ECB sees inflation at 1.20% in 2018 and 1.50% in 2019, well below the goal of just below 2%. While its growth forecasts for 2018 and 2019 were left unchanged, this year's projection was raised to 2.20%. People's Bank of China outlawed initial coin offerings triggering a fall in cryptocurrencies. China lifted the reserve requirement rule on currency forwards and stopped requiring foreign banks to put aside reserves for offshore yuan deposits in China, as outflows ease and exporters face strain. Japan's GDP expanded by an annualized 2.50% in the second quarter compared with a preliminary reading of 4% growth, weighed down by a revision in capital expenditure by companies. Canada's GDP expanded at an annualized rate of 4.50% in the second quarter, the strongest pace in almost six years with consumers, capital spending and exports all making big contributions. Australia's GDP grew 1.80% from a year earlier in the second quarter. New Zealand's economy expanded at a faster pace in the second quarter, with GDP rising 0.80%. U.S. trade deficit widened 0.30% to $43.70 billion in July as rising energy and aircraft exports helped offset drops in shipments of autos and 19
2 International Developments household goods as per the Commerce Department. China recorded a trade surplus of $42 billion in August amid moderating global demand for the country's products and robust domestic demand driven import growth. The U.S. CPI registered a growth of 1.90% in August from a year earlier. Eurozone consumer price inflation came in at 1.50% year-on-year in September U.K. inflation rose to 2.90% in August after the biggest surge in clothes prices in almost three decades. China's foreign-exchange reserves posted a seventh straight gain in August climbing $11 billion to $3.09 trillion. S&P Global Ratings cut China's sovereign credit rating by one step, to A+ from AA-, and revised its outlook to stable from negative stating that China's prolonged period of strong credit growth has increased its economic and financial risks. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said China is making critical efforts to rein in financial risk, and cited an "incredible re-balancing" of the economy from industrial to services and technology. The Asian Development Bank raised developing Asia's 2017 growth forecast to 5.90% from 5.70%in April in its latest Asian Development Outlook Update, bolstered by a revival in world trade and strong momentum in China which is now expected to grow 6.70% y/y from 6.50% earlier.

Sebi warned that the huge inflow of foreign investments into the country is having an impact on the rupee and regulators need to manage it through a calibrated system. Sebi allowed mutual funds to use interest rate futures contracts to hedge risks from volatility in interest rates. The PM's Economic Advisory Council was reconstituted with Bibek Debroy as its chairman. 21
4 The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development expects India's economy to expand 6.70% in 2017, down from 7% in 2016, due to demonetization and the introduction of the GST. The Asian Development Bank cut India's GDP forecast to 7% y/y from 7.40% stating demonetization and the implementation of GST have dented consumer spending and business investment. OECD trimmed India's growth forecast for current fiscal to 6.70%, down from 7.30% estimated in June, citing transitory impact of GST rollout and demonetisation. Flagging the negative effect of a weak capital base, Fitch said Indian banks might require around $65 billion of additional capital to meet the new Basel-III capital standards by March India is expected to be a $6 trillion economy - the third largest in the world - in the next 10 years, majorly helped by digitisation, as per a Morgan Stanley report.
