World Bank bars deals with two more Indian firms
AFP, Mumbai
T\vo Indian companies have been barred from dealing with the World Bank over allegations of improper payments, the organisation said, in the latest revelations to hit the country 's IT sector.
The companies involved are India's third-largest software firm Wipro Technologies and a subsidiary of technology outfit Megasoft India, the global financial body said in a statement on its website Sunday.
Wipro is accused of "providing improper benefits to (World) Bank staff" while Megasoft is said to have been involved in "a joint venture with Bank staff while also conducting business with the Bank".
In response, Wipro said the ban would not adversely affect its business as its revenues from tire World Bank were "insignificant”.
The sanction related to its listing in 2000, when it issued American depository shares to family members and friends of World Bank employees, the company said to the Mumbai stock exchange.
"They purchased 1,750 shares for 72,000 dollars and signed a statement that their purchase did not violate any ethics or conflict of interest policies of their company," it added.
The shares were offered through a "commonly utilised" programme approved by the US regulator.
KL sees global crisis a 'golden chance1 for Islamic banking
AFP, Kuala Lumpur.
The global economic crisis has handed the Islamic finance sector a "golden opportunity" to show it is a better alternative to capitalism, Malaysia said Monday.
Although capitalism has been pre-eminent for centuries. "it is becoming obvious that there is now more proof of its weaknesses," Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a speech to an Islamic economic conference.
"We Muslims should see the current situation as a golden opportunity for us to prove the power, strength and effectiveness of the Islamic banking and finance system," he said in an opening address.
Islamic banking, a booming 1.0 trillion dollar global industry that prohibits speculation and high levels of debt, has been relatively unscathed by the credit crunch.
The rules of the sector -- which incorporate principles of sharia or Islamic law - - prohibit many of the risky activities that triggered the crisis that is felling economies around the world.
'An economic system that is not closely linked to real and productive activities is a threat to the entire system," said Najib, who is also finance minister.
Hyundai's first luxury sedan wins 'best car of the year' AFP, Detroit
South Korea's Hyundai won its first "best car of the year” award at the Detroit Auto Show on Sunday for its entry into the luxury market, proving that recession does not mean foregoing frills.
The Hyundai Genesis sedan won 189 out of 500 votes from US and Canadian automotive journalists, beating out Ford's Flex and Volkswagen s JettaTDI for the win.
"It is the perfect luxury car for bad economic times," priced below 40,000 dollars, John Krafcik, president of Hyundai Motor America told reporters.
Car buyers now "do not want to pay a premium for luxury," he commented.
The vehicle marks a "new beginning" for the company, its first global luxury sedan, equipped with its first V8 engine, "a game changing vehicle which will define our products going forward," said Hyun Soon Lee, vice chairman of Hyundai in accepting the award.
Launched in mid-2008 in North America, Hyundai has sold a mere 6,167 Genesis sedans in Canada and the United States, competing mostly with BMW’s 5 Series.
Chrysler insists it’s viable despite tough conditions AFP, Detroit, Michigan
Struggling automaker Chrysler LLC insisted on Sunday that it is a viable company despite tough market conditions and will be able to repay a four billion dollar loan from the US government.
"We see that as a bridge loan... and we fully intend to repay that," chief executive officer Bob Nardelli told reporters on the sidelines of the Detroit auto show.
Those funds, and a further three billion dollars expected to arrive in the coming months, were only released after the US Treasury Department determined " based upon data not emotion" that Chrysler was a viable company. Nardelli said.
Getting through the next year will be "very challenging," Nardelli said, given that Chrysler expects US auto sales to fall to between 10.5 and 11.1 million vehicles from 13.5 million in 2008 and a recent average of 16.5 million in recent years.
