Weeks after implementing curbs on wheat exports to ensure food security, the Indian govt now plans to restrict sugar exports to prevent a surge in domestic prices. 
According to reports, the new move to curb sugar export is being seen by some as a new risk to global food prices.
News agency Reuters has reported that it could potentially cap this season's exports at 10 million tonnes.
This would be the first such restriction in six years. India is the world's biggest sugar producer and the secondbiggest exporter behind Brazil.
The major importing countries are Indonesia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the UAE and African countries.
The average retail price of sugar in is about Rs 41.50 per kg in India and is likely to remain in the range of Rs 40-43 per kg in the coming months.
Domestic status
Sugar exports rose by 64 per cent to 71 lakh tonnes during the October 2021-April 2022 period on better demand for the Indian sweetener in global markets, according to a statement by the industry body Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) on May 19. It added that 43.19 lakh tonnes of sugar were exported during the corresponding period of the last year.

Crisis-hit Sri Lanka on Tuesday raised the petrol price by 24.3 per cent and diesel by 38.4 per cent, a record hike in fuel prices amidst the country’s worst economic crisis due to the shortage of foreign exchange reserves.
With the second fuel price hike since April 19, now the most-used Octane 92 petrol would cost 420 rupees (USD 1.17) and diesel 400 rupees (USD 1.11) a litre, an all-time high.
The decision to raise the Octane 92 petrol price by 24.3 per cent or 82 rupees and diesel by 38.4 per cent or 111 rupees per litre was taken by the state fuel entity, Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC).
“Fuel Price will be revised from 3 am today. Fuel pricing formula that was approved by the Cabinet was applied to revise the prices,” Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said on Twitter.
“Price revision includes all costs incurred in importing, unloading, distribution to the stations and taxes.
“The Cabinet also approved the revision of transportation and other service charges accordingly. The formula will be applied every fortnight or monthly,” he said.
The hike came as the public continues to suffer in long queues at fuel stations hit by shortages.
Lanka IOC, the Sri Lankan subsidiary of India’s oil major Indian Oil Corporation, has also raised the retail prices of fuel.
“We have raised our prices to match the CPC,” Manoj Gupta, the CEO of LIOC, told PTI.
Meanwhile, the auto-rickshaw operators said they would raise the tariff to be 90 rupees per first kilometre and 80 rupees for the second onwards.
As a measure to mitigate the costs, the government announced that the heads of institutions would be given the discretion over which employees would be essential to report physically. The rest be allowed to work from home.
Lanka IOC has been in operation in Sri Lanka since 2002.
Sri Lanka has been mulling different options to facilitate measures to prevent fuel pumps from going dry, as the country faces a severe foreign exchange crisis to pay for its imports.
The island nation is grappling with an unprecedented economic turmoil, the worst since its independence from Britain in 1948. It is struggling with a shortage of almost all essentials, due to the lack of dollars to pay for the imports.
A crippling shortage of foreign reserves has led to long queues for fuel, cooking gas and other essentials while power cuts and soaring food prices heaped misery on the people.
The economic crisis has also triggered a political crisis in Sri Lanka and a demand for the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. The crisis has already forced prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, the elder brother of the president, to resign on May 9.
An inflation rate spiralling towards 40 per cent, shortages of food, fuel and medicines and rolling power blackouts have led to nationwide protests and a plunging currency, with the government short of the foreign currency reserves it needed to pay for imports.

The foundries are increasing their prices because it&rsquo;s becoming more expensive for them to fund their growing operations.

Similarly, the labor required to build new semiconductor facilities has also seen shortages and increased wage rates.
Samsung is set to increase its chipmaking prices by up to 20 percent, according to a Bloomberg report last Friday.

Think of your dream property, car, Watch, Jewellery Piece and then think a little harder and you’ll begin to get an idea of what the most expensive these things in the world look like.Here are 5 such things that you might never be able to afford in this lifetime, and if you're able to afford, you might not see the value in the price tag. Let's see what they are:
1. Buckingham Palace might not be put up for sale anytime soon but, if it was, it would be worth around $6.7 billion dollars. With 240 bedrooms as well as a swimming pool and doctor’s surgery, it’s a place called home by the British Royal Family and is also open to the public for guided tours. 
In total, this rich house—if you can call it a mere house—contains 775 rooms: 19 state rooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. It’s also got a huge team of staff as well as beautiful gardens. Rumour has it, there are a few other secret rooms dotted throughout this huge luxury mansion.
2. In 1964, the 250 GTO won the Tour de France Automobile – marking the ninth year in a row that Ferrari won that race. Only 36 of these cars were made between 1962 and 1963; the specific Ferrari that’s the most expensive in the world, at an unbelievable $70,000,000 price point, was victorious not only in the Tour de France, but it also placed in the Le Mans.
With a top speed of 174 miles per hour and an acceleration of 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 6.1 seconds, its stats wouldn’t stand up to the hypercars of the modern day. However, in the ‘60s, it was the fastest in the world – and, now, decades later, it remains the most expensive car in the world of all time by a long shot.
3.Graff Diamonds Hallucination
The most expensive watch ever made is another Graff Diamonds creation. The Hallucination is, as the name suggests, truly breathtaking and brilliantly fantastical. 
Featuring a kaleidoscopic array of 110 carats of different coloured diamonds in a range of different cuts, set into a platinum bracelet, The Hallucination brings high-fashion to the world of horlogerie.
4. The Hope Diamond The most expensive and perhaps the most famous jewel in the world is a 45.52 carat blue stone known as the Hope Diamond. Believed to have been discovered in India in the 1600s, the Hope Diamond was bought by King Louis XIV in 1668. This $250 million worth carat Fancy Dark Gray-Blue antique cushion cut diamond was later stolen during a crown jewel looting in 1791 but resurfaced in London in 1839.
5. 

World's costliest: House, Car, Watch, Jewellery Piece, Painting

From the priciest house to the costliest painting and beyond, here are 5 such things that you might never be able to afford in this lifetime

At a time when lemons and tomatoes are making it on the list of expensive items we look at some of the priciest things money can buy!&nbsp; World's most expensive home:&nbsp;Buckingham Palace&nbsp; You may not see a "For Sale" sign on this London property but home to the British Monarch is valued at $6.7 billion dollars. This 775 room&nbsp;palace has served as the monarchy's headquarter&nbsp;since 1837. Spread across 39 acres, the residence has everything it needs to be its own self-sufficient village, including a post office, movie theatre, police station and clinic.

Zooming in with a $70 million price tag is the ultimate collectible car -&nbsp;Ferrari 250 GTO&nbsp;also dubbed "Il Mostro&rdquo;&mdash;the monster. With only 36 of these cars ever manufactured, it calls for top billing at an auction as a nine-time in a row winner of the&nbsp;Tour de France. With a top speed of 174 miles per hour it is definitely not the fastest but remains the costliest car by a mile and yes they are still in running condition.&nbsp; World's most expensive watch:&nbsp;Graff Diamonds Hallucination
Even if your eyes are able to handle the sparkle, the price tag will surely blind you. The&nbsp;Graff Diamonds Hallucination clocks in with a price of $55 million and can be considered more a piece of jewellery with 110 carats of different coloured diamonds in a range of different cuts, set into a platinum bracelet. But if one had to evaluate the worth of a watch for just its making and brand then the&nbsp; Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime commands pole position; worth a whopping $31 million. 
World's most expensive jewellery:&nbsp;The&nbsp;Hope Diamond The Hope Diamond is a 45.52-carat diamond originally extracted in the 17th century from the Kollur Mine in Guntur&nbsp;and&nbsp;was bought by King Louis XIV in 1668. This $250 million worth carat Fancy Dark Gray-Blue antique cushion cut diamond was later stolen during a crown jewel looting in 1791 but resurfaced in London in 1839.&nbsp;According to the legend, there is a curse that comes with the glitter,&nbsp;a curse that foretold bad luck and death not only for the owner of the diamond but for all who touched it.
World's most expensive painting:&nbsp;Salvator Mundi The image of Christ as The Saviour of the World was billed as the Last da Vinci&nbsp;at Christie's 2017 and broke all&nbsp;records when it was bought for $450 million in 2017 by the Saudi Royal family. Not been seen in public since then but it remains in the news as art connoisseurs continue to debate if the&nbsp;Salvator Mundi&nbsp;is indeed a work by the master or just his assistants. In an era where digital art and Beeple's make headlines, Da Vinci&nbsp;still remains the holy grail for collectors.&nbsp;

Month after announcing the disappointing subscriber growth slowdown in more than a decade, Netflix lays off about 150 employees. The cuts represent 2 per cent of the streamer’s total workforce, with most of the cuts made in the United States. 
According to reports, the layoffs come across departments and are driven by the need to reduce expenses rather than the performance of individual employees. In addition to the layoff of 150 full-time employees, Netflix is eliminating about 70 part-time jobs in its animation studio and is also cutting freelance roles in its social media and publishing group. The new round of cuts comes less than a month after multiple full-time staff and contractors in Netflix’s editorial and marketing division were laid off.
In April, during its first-quarter earnings announcement, Netflix revealed it had lost 200,000 subscribers in the quarter and expected to lose an additional 2 million during the second quarter.

From poop slinging to cocky responses, the repartee on Twitter from Elon Musk is casting a doubt on whether this eccentric billionaire will actually buy the social media platform. The War on Bots - Short para on the bot argument But is the real problem debt?

Bots or Bills, what is really giving Musk second thoughts about Twitter

Pressure will mount on Musk to monetise Twitter as deal brings with it $1 billion interest expense to the social media platform

From poop-slinging to cocky responses, the repartee&nbsp;on Twitter from Elon&nbsp;Musk is casting a doubt on whether this eccentric billionaire will actually buy the social media platform.&nbsp; The War on Bots
Earlier, Musk replied with a poop emoji&nbsp;after Twitter CEO&nbsp;Parag&nbsp;Agrawal&nbsp;in a tweet thread mentioned that it would be difficult to conduct an external audit on the platform's spam accounts. Musk and Agrawal&nbsp;have been in a wrangle lately as the Tesla CEO&nbsp;expresses his doubts over the success of the deal if Twitter fails to provide proof of spam accounts.

Musk wanted to eliminate spam Twitter accounts
Well, one must remember that Musk offered to buy the social media giant for $44 billion as he decided to eliminate bots from Twitter. Even after buying the largest stake in the company, Musk tweeted, "If our Twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!&rdquo;
So, now the question arises, if he already knew about the problem of bots -- and Twitter has always said the real number could be higher even though their best estimate calculated it to be sub-5 percent&nbsp;-- then why didn't the eccentric billion do the due diligence before announcing the deal.

We must also look at the deal offer which was made at $54.20 per share. Since then the prices of tech companies have corrected sharply and hence a $54 per share seems like a significantly premium offer for a share that has already been trading at $38.

After oil, lemons and wheat, tomatoes are now jeopardising the common man's kitchen budget!


Tomatoes hit a century! Prices turn consumers red in anger

Amid the shortage of supply, the tomato prices have reached Rs 80 to Rs 100 per Kg

Move aside lemons, tomatoes are taking over the shocking price spotlight as prices soar to Rs 100/kilo in the retail market. Shortage in supply and unpredictable weather conditions have led to a huge price in the prices of this essential vegetable.&nbsp; Wholesale prices of tomatoes in Chennai are in the range of Rs 80 to Rs 95 and are expected to rise only due to heavy rainfall in both Andhra and Karnataka. Meanwhile, the gourmet option i.e. the cherry tomato is being sold at 360 per kilo by various delivery apps.&nbsp;

Pakistan in the headlines but the news grim as the economy faces a complete collapse. The govt is hoping that the IMF will lift the suspension and provide the much needed financial assistance to keep the country afloat. The foreign exchange reserves with the govt has dwindled to $10 billion, just enough to cover imports up to 2 months and if you take out the gold and look at just the liquid reserves it is barely enough to cover 1 month of imports. The govt is overshooting expenditure and running out of money. The fiscal deficit could hit $30 bn, or about 8.8% of GDP by the end of this quarter. High subsidies, not passing on petrol price hikes, low tax collection from the rich and political turmoil has taken a severe toll on the finances. Add to that mounting debt and inability to get funds as international debt market remain virtually shut. Adding to the repayment pressure, Pakistan also owes China $4.3 bn in short-term loans in addition to the expensive loans to finance the power plants built under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor programme. The new government hopes to stop the bleeding with an enhanced IMF package and more short-term loans from allies China and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile it rolls out big rate hikes to battle high inflation which now is clocking above 13% and likely to escalate to 30% as per some experts.

'Terra 2.0 is coming', LUNA's official Twitter account posted on Wednesday as the hot crypto project is set to launch the next version of its digital token after a drastic failure a few weeks back.

Ransomware attacks have risen by a steep 13 percent in the last five years and by 25 percent in the last year alone, as per Verizon's 15th annual Data Breach Investigations Report.
The latest one is on an Indian airline Spicejet. Editorji lists some of the biggest ransomware attacks in the last five years:
1. WannaCry: In May 2017, a ransomware called WannaCry infected computers across the globe in an incident termed 'a global epidemic'. This ransomware attack spread through computers operating Microsoft Windows and demanded payment in bitcoin. More than 2 lakh computers around the world were infected. Computer systems in 150 countries were affected by the attack, with a total estimated loss of around $4 billion globally. The attackers initially demanded $300 in bitcoin to unlock infected computer systems. The demand was later increased to $600 in bitcoin. However, some researchers claim that no one got their data back, even if they met the demands.
2. SamSam: It made headlines in 2018 when it infected the city of Atlanta, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and the Port of San Diego, causing major disruptions of service. That same ransomware was utilized by different bad actors again that same year against hospitals, municipalities, and public institutions, causing an estimated loss of $30 million.
3. Ryuk: Both 2019 and 2020 were dominated by Ryuk ransomware spread mainly via phishing emails, containing dangerous links and attachments. Prior to recent attacks, Ryuk was the costliest to remediate, with ransom amounts exceeding $300,000 in some cases. Authorities state that Ryuk’s attacks have already caused more than $60 million in damage worldwide.
4. REvil Ransomware: This was one of the most well-known cases of 2020, especially because of the big names involved. Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, a law firm that handles international celebrities such as Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and more, was hacked in mid-May by REvil Ransomware, also popularly known as Sodinokibi. Media reports said that about 756 GB of private documents and correspondence with clients were stolen. The hacker group had taken control over the personal information of its high-profile clients and demanded a $21 million ransom.
5. Maze Ransomware: The biggest Ransomware attack of 2020 was led by technology giant Cognizant. It cost the company a staggering $50 to $70 million in revenue loss, and recovery and mitigation efforts. This barred its work from home capabilities and encrypted its servers.
