Thailand Finalizes Terms for Hydropower Import Agreement with Singapore, Laos

According to government sources, Thailand is still negotiating the details of an extension to a multilateral deal with Singapore to import hydropower

According to government sources, Thailand is still negotiating the details of an extension to a multilateral deal with Singapore to import hydropower from Laos via Malaysia and Thailand. Singapores Energy Market Authority EMA has called the 2022 agreement "historic," emphasising its potential to lessen Southeast Asias dependency on fossil fuels. Wheeling charges are expenses related to the transmission of energy that need to be resolved in Thailand before power may be exported from Laos to Singapore via Thailand.

India Maintains Investment Restrictions on Neighbors Despite China Border Agreement

Despite a recent border patrol deal with China, India will keep limiting investment in its neighbours. The countrys delicate geopolitical position is highlighted by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharamans statement that India must take foreign direct investment FDI mindlessly, taking into account its source. Her comments, which she delivered before a BRICS summit between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggest that lifting trade restrictions would only happen for a while. India has been scrutinising investments from its neighbours more since 2020, mainly from Chinese companies, which has discouraged large inflows. This strategy seeks to protect national interests in light of Indias growing trade imbalance with China, which has increased to $85 billion since the 2020 border dispute. Read More..

After the National Payments Corporation of India NPCI authorised the business to onboard new customers for digital payments via UPI, reducing a significant regulatory burden, shares of the Indian fintech company Paytm PAYT.NS surged by about 6% on Wednesday.

The permission came after the Reserve Bank of India RBI ordered the winding down of Paytms banking arm in January, and the companys secondquarter statistics revealed a drop in its user base due to regulatory issues. According to analysts, this action lowers regulatory concerns and might aid Paytm in regaining its customer base. However, a crucial obstacle still stands as the business needs RBI permission for payment aggregation. Read More..
