In the ever-evolving tapestry of the global economy, policymakers, businesses, and investors rely on a compass

that provides insights into the prevailing economic winds and potential storms. A report that is published regularly,

serves as an indispensable guide for nations worldwide. Without explicitly naming the report, let's delve into its

importance and the role it plays in shaping economic strategies on a global scale. The world is intricately

interconnected through trade, finance, and technology. What happens in one corner of the globe can send ripples

across borders, affecting economies near and far. It serves as a panoramic view, offering a nuanced understanding

of the prevailing economic conditions, potential risks, and emerging opportunities. At the heart of the report, are

key macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth rates, inflation, and unemployment. These metrics serve as

barometers, providing a snapshot of a country's economic health and its trajectory. Policymakers use this

information to fine-tune fiscal and monetary policies, ensuring stability and sustainable growth. In an era of

globalization, understanding global trade dynamics is paramount. It examines trends in international trade,

identifies emerging patterns, and assesses the impact of geopolitical factors. Nations can adjust their trade policies

India is close to resolving its most contentious trade dispute, involving information communications technology

(ICT) products, with its second largest trade partner, the European Union (EU), a senior government official said.

This comes on the heels of India settling all seven trade disputes at the World Trade Organization (WTO) with its

largest trade partner, the US. Brussels had dragged New Delhi to the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism in 2019

challenging its levying of import duty on a wide range of ICT products including mobile phones and components,

base stations, integrated circuits and optical instruments claiming that the duty was inconsistent with global trade

norms and was hurting €600 million worth of its tech exports to India. The dispute assumes significance as it was

feared to affect India’s efforts to boost electronic products manufacturing — a strategic sector in which India is
RBI Grade B 2023 Phase II ESI Previous Year Paper

In a country as vast and diverse as India, a significant portion of the workforce operates in the unorganized sector,

often without access to formal employment benefits or social security. Recognizing the need to address the

concerns of these workers, the Indian government launched the e-Shram portal, a groundbreaking initiative aimed

at creating a comprehensive database of unorganized sector laborers. The e-Shram portal was officially announced

as part of the government's efforts to streamline and organize information about workers in the unorganized

sector. This sector encompasses a wide range of occupations, including construction workers, street vendors,

agricultural laborers, and more, who often face challenges such as lack of job security, limited access to healthcare,

and insufficient social protection. The registration process for the e-Shram portal is designed to be user-friendly,

ensuring that even those with limited technological literacy can easily participate. Workers are required to provide

basic details such as name, age, address, educational qualifications, and occupation. The portal also allows for the

inclusion of family details, ensuring a more comprehensive understanding of each worker's background. While the

e-Shram portal holds great promise, there are certain challenges and concerns that need to be addressed for its

successful implementation. Privacy and data security are paramount, and safeguards must be in place to protect

the sensitive information collected. Additionally, efforts should be made to raise awareness among unorganized

sector workers about the benefits of registration and the services available to them through the portal.
