A uniquely Indian parable of economic development
Article Abstract:
The Indian economy has been growing steadily despite the troubles plaguing the Asian region and the sanctions imposed upon it by Western nations for its controversial nuclear tests. Its GDP is expected to rise to more than 6% in 1998, a growth rate that is bested only by China and Ireland. Its strong consumer base, fueled by a large and growing middle class, ably supports its indigenous industrial production. India also boasts of business and scientific experts at par with other countries, as evidenced by the growth of its software industry. Nevertheless, certain macroeconomic concerns still have to be addressed. These include a weak export performance and a reduction of its credit rating from BB+ to just BB. The failure to attract foreign investors despite the concessions made by the government is another source of problem.

Article Abstract:
The UK transportation sector offers many career opportunities for chartered accountants. Both the private and public transportation sectors in the UK offer opportunities, and accountants will need financial expertise. The public sector will offer greater job security during the recession. The pay differences between private sector positions and positions in the nationalized industries are not significant for positions paying up to 40,000 pounds sterling. The basic salary for new accountants is between 23,000 and 26,000 pounds. British Rail is offering attractive opportunities for accountants, and the deregulation of the bus, coach, and freight industries is creating many new companies that will need accountants.
