In 2023, we expect that top IT companies like Meta, Google, Apple, and Amazon will discuss operating standards for Indias Digital Personal Data Protection Act. The "alreadyannounced law" is dependent on 25 rules that are currently in the process of being written. The government plans to apply the rule gradually, starting with the most prominent tech corporations and giving smaller organisations and startups more time to adjust. The rules will specify certain data protection safeguards and address issues like child and disabled person "data processing consent methods". The government could impose penalties of up to Rs 250 crore for violations, exempting small enterprises and startups.

According to U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, there is no proof that Chinese tech giant Huawei can massproduce smartphones with cuttingedge technology.

Chinese government officials are raising worries about forbidding the use of Apple iPhones, while the United States is demanding further information about the Huawei chip. Read More..

The U.S. Federal Reserve officials confront new difficulties as they try to fight inflation without starting a recession. Complicating circumstances include a massive autoworkers strike involving thousands of workers, a possible government shutdown at months end, and the start of student loan instalments in October. While individual problems might not have an immediate influence on policy, taken as a whole, they could affect the economy. Federal agency closures and protracted interruptions in the auto sector may harm consumer confidence and reduce consumer spending, possibly leading to increased automobile costs. Goldman Sachs warns of a "pothole" in GDP growth in the fourth quarter, and experts point out the unpredictability of inflexion moments when consumers and corporations both make cuts simultaneously.

Eurozone Inflation Surges, European Central Bank Faces Tough Decision on Rate Hikes

He expresses concern that inflation expectations would become less stable due to the BOEs uncertainty regarding additional rate increases. High inflation is a problem that the UK and the eurozone are dealing with, making decisionmaking difficult. The US, in comparison, may experience a rate reduction slower than the market anticipates due to its more solid economic outlook. Roubini recognises the difficulties that high rates bring.
