“…The recession of 2008 provided an opportunity for IBSA members to renew commitments to invest in capital-intensive initiatives as part of the trade and development agenda among the three countries, especially in areas that are most often associated with the Global North. Brazil's desire to strengthen trade relations with India was apparent in a report and, a few years later, in an opinion piece listing among other items India's investments in Brazil in the areas of mining, oil and civil nuclear energy (Bhojwani, 2018;Siddiqui, 2011). South Africa evidenced a similar interest in India's investments in capital-intensive sectors such as information and communication technology, pharmaceuticals, agricultural processing and others under the bilateral Investment and Trade Initiative (ITI) (Siddiqui, 2013a).…”

Drawing from nation-branding as a recent development in contemporary globalization, and new middle power theory that examines hierarchies of nations, we used thematic textual analysis to examine business press coverage of the IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa) consortium for business news representations and the positioning of IBSA nations in the global arena. Analysis of coverage in India’s The Financial Express, Brazil’s Valor Econômico and South Africa’s Business Day revealed that regional economic leadership, strengths in trade and technology, development aid and the consortium’s collective engagement in global activism inform the business press’ positioning of the IBSA countries as new middle powers.

“…The relationship between the two variables-Microfinance women empowerment index (WEU 1 ) and Microfinance women financial index (WFU 2 )-in the present study was done to understand the impact on women empowerment. WEU 1 was calculated by the number of women SHG members of the state to total women SHG members in India (WSHGs) by the number of women households of the state to total women households in India (THH) (Status of microfinance in India NABARD, 2015-2018& Census, 2011.…”

Enhancing economic opportunities among the self-help groups (SHG), women through micro-credit is considered to be a major resource. The aspiration is to build resilient livelihoods through SHGs for graduating into small enterprises through efficient microfinance outreach. It is the dream objective with the efficient SHG–bank linkages to be acheived. Previously, SHGs were focused only on saving skills, but now the emphasis is to enhance economic opportunities through exposure to income-generating activities and build confidence to earn and handle money. In India, few states with a higher level of microfinance outreach are the states with relatively high levels of economic enhancement. In this facet, the methodological aspects of the journey of microfinance towards unleashing the power of women in India is systematically analysed, and the state-wise analysis of women’s economic enhancement performance is examined. In the light of empirical evidence, a wide variation in the outreach of microfinance intervention to the poor women is observed across the regions of the country. Women’s empowerment is seen as the progressive index for development. Across India, only 11 states have women empowerment index more than 1, while the remaining states score lower than 1. The strategy is to train and promote talented women to establish micro-enterprises for earning recurring income. For understanding the status of women across the country the mean analysis between the regions was done using two variables. The results confirm that the southern and eastern regions lead in dispersion (MD1) of funds, whereas microfinance access (MD2) is dominant in southern and central regions, indicating relatively high levels of economic enhancement. It is, thus, assumed that microfinance in true spirit can be a useful tool for achieving vibrant growth by narrowing the non-performing assets (NPAs) of the SHGs and channelizing the resources into micro-level planning and training for self-sustenance.

“…This technological penetration has multiple benefits. It increases the incidence of paperless trade, leading to the ease of doing business (Siddiqui & Singh, 2021) which helps attain economic growth. ICT also supports innovations that place an economy on the growth path (Cardona et al, 2013).…”

Increased usage of technology is linked with poverty reduction, in existing literature but also rising income inequality due to microeconomic factors. This paper attempts to investigate how the technological penetration has impacted poverty levels and income inequality, at the global level and across different levels of income. Using data for 86 countries between 2005 and 2020, the paper employs a robust two step Systematic Generalized Moment Method (Sys-GMM) to assess the linear effect, non-linear effect, and synergy effect models. The results indicate that technological penetration has a different impact across countries, depending on the income levels. The positive association between technology and income inequality has repercussions for low-income countries, in particular. From a policy perspective, it is essential to consider macro- and micro-economic factors that affect the impact of technology penetration in low-income countries.
