A new LPG cylinder connection will be expensive from June 16, 2022. 
Now, for a new connection, you will have to shell out Rs 2,200, with a cylinder weighing 14.2 kg instead of Rs 1,450 charged in the past.
The revision in rates has taken place due to the latest increase in the fuel prices. 
With this, authorities have increased the price for regulators, pipes, passbook, additional gas connection and security deposit. 
If someone takes two cylinders, then he will have to pay Rs 4,400 as security money for the cylinder. Earlier, Rs 2,900 had to be paid as security for two cylinders.
Also, the security amount of the 5 kg cylinder has now been increased to Rs 1,150 instead of Rs 800 charged earlier.

Federal Reserve Chairman answered tough questions as he laid out the roadmap for hikes over the next year. Jerome Powell walked back from his May meeting statement where he ruled out a 75 bps hike to make room for many more hikes as inflation continues to be stubborn with no sign of abating. The Fed Chief acknowledged that with rate hikes come the risks of higher unemployment and pain for the common man. Here is an edited transcript of the press conference-: Coming out of our last meeting in May, there was a broad sense on the Committee that a 1/2 percentage point increase in the target range should be considered at this meeting if economic and financial conditions evolved in line with expectations. We also stated that we were highly attentive to inflation risks and that we would be nimble in responding to incoming data and the evolving outlook. Since then, inflation has again surprised to the upside, some indicators of inflation expectations have risen, and projections for inflation this year have been revised up notably. In response to these developments, the Committee decided that a larger  increase in the target range was warranted at today’s meeting. This continues our approach of expeditiously moving our policy rate up to more normal levels. And it will help ensure that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2 percentOverall economic activity edged down in the first quarter, as unusually sharp swings in inventories and net exports more than offset continued strong underlying demand. The median projection in the SEP for the unemployment rate rises somewhat over the next few years, moving from 3.7 percent at the end of this year to 4.1 percent in 2024, levels that are noticeably above the March projections.Over coming months, we will be looking for compelling evidence that inflation is moving down, consistent with inflation returning to 2 percent. We anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate; the pace of those changes will continue to depend on the incoming data and the evolving outlook for the economy. Clearly, today’s 75 basis point increase is an unusually large one, and I do not expect moves of this size to be common. From the perspective of today, either a 50 or 75 basis point increase seems most likely at our next meeting. We will, however, make our decisions meeting by meeting, and we will continue to communicate our thinking as clearly as we can. Our overarching focus is using our tools to bring inflation back down to our 2 percent goal and to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored

Watch Fed Chief Powell get quizzed! Can rate hikes really reduce inflation?

New Delhi, Jun 14 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked various government departments and ministries to undertake the recruitment of 10 lakh people on a "mission mode" in the next year and a half, his office said on Tuesday.

Celebrating the World MSME Day we look at the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of India that are truly the backbone of the economy.  MSME’s in India contribute nearly 8% of the country's GDP, approximately 45 % of manufacturing output, and 40% of export.With 6.3 crore enterprises registered with the MSME ministry, it is only second to China in size. MSMEs also created about 600,000 new jobs this past year, besides employing over 110 million people.Even as the industry grows rapidlly the challenges are also rising. Even though access to credit has improved dramatically, the problems around the supply chain are new.The critical step to boost Indian MSMEs is to connect them to the global markets through trade deals and agreements which the government is hoping to achieve via varied trade agreements with vital partners.

The Fed Chairman Jerome Powell faced a firing squad of questions as he appeared before the Senate Banking Committee that questioned the rationale of rate hikes. First of the block, US Senator Elizabeth Warren probed Fed chair Jerome Powell while telling him sternly "Don't 'drive this economy off a cliff."Warren asked Powell if Fed rate increases will lower gas prices, which have hit record highs this month."I would not think so," Powell said.Warren asked if grocery prices will go down because of the Fed's war on inflation."I wouldn't say so, no," Powell said.Inflation is like an illness, and medicine needs to be tailored to the specific problem. Otherwise you could make things a lot worse," Warren told Fed Chairman Jerome Powell during the hearing. "You could actually tip the economy into a recession," she said. The Fed has no control over global oil prices that are driving up gas prices, Warren said. "What's worse than high inflation and low unemployment?" Warren asked. "High inflation and recession with millions of people out of work," she answered. "I hope you consider that before you drive this economy off a cliff," she said.Powell’s testimony comes exactly a week after the Fed announced its three-quarters-of-a-point increase, its biggest hike in nearly three decades.

The Sri Lankan government has taken an initiative in order to save the country's economy by giving its public sector employees official every Friday leave for three months so that they can grow crops for themselves.
This means that employees will work only for four days in a week and every Friday they will engage in some agricultural activity for their livelihood.
The move comes after the country continues to face a shortage crisis since many decades. The government approved the proposal keeping in mind that it would be a solution to the food shortages that are expected to occur in the future.
However, a week ago the United Nations also gave a warning of a "dire humanitarian crisis" and said that four out of five people in the nation of 22 million were forced to skip meals.
