Letters to Editor: Trade, NBFCs, and Budget
Three people wrote letters to the newspaper.
The first person, N Sadhasiva Reddy, talked about trade negotiations between India and the US.
He said that the US Commerce Secretary's claim that the trade agreement failed because India's Prime Minister didn't call the US President is not fair.
He explained that trade agreements are more complex and involve many important factors.
The second person, VSK Pillai, discussed the role of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs).
He said that NBFCs are very important for the economy and should follow strict rules to maintain financial stability.
The third person, S Ramakrishnasayee, talked about the upcoming budget.
He said that the budget should focus on reducing corruption and increasing private investment to boost the economy.
