India May Slow Down Foreign Direct Investment In Retail

Wal-Mart, Tesco may lose
India May Slow Down Foreign Direct Investment In Retail
Economic Times reported that the political storm over FDI in retail gathered strength on Wednesday with the debate now spilling over to organised domestic retail too. Congress president Sonia Gandhi has sent a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this regard.
Politicians now want to know if the emergence of large retailers was behind the current rise in retail prices of grocery and vegetables.
With Congress backing their leader’s concern for small retailers and apprehensions about the impact of Wal-Mart’s entry into India, formulation of rules and policy consultations on allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in sectors like stationery, sports goods, construction equipment and electronic hardware has come to a grinding halt.
With Ms Gandhi’s letter to Mr Singh-suggesting a thorough review of the impact of retail opening up on small traders-being forwarded to the commerce and industry ministry, further liberalisation of retail FDI came to a halt and even the existing windows came under the cloud. Commerce & industry minister Kamal Nath said the impact of FDI in retail would be studied in line with the PMO’s wishes. He confirmed that the PMO has sought details on the FDI policy on retail. “We have sent our comments,” he added.
Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi waffled when grilled by journalists about the party’s stand on the impact of domestic organised retail on small traders. Kerala chief minister VS Achuthanandan, it may be recalled, had blamed the recent spurt in prices on Reliance’s procurement for its retail operations.
Confirming a halt in all retail FDI-related work, a senior government official told ET, “Till we get further communication from the bosses, the proposal to open FDI in more areas has been put on hold.”

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
