5. Currency: The rupee pared early morning gains to settle down by 6 paise at 71.84 against the US currency on Monday due to continued forex outflows and gains in the dollar in global markets. Forex traders said investors traded cautiously after the domestic equity market also shed its morning gains and witnessed selling pressure during the day. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee had opened at 71.67 against the US dollar. Later, the local unit lost ground and fell to the day's low of 71.86. (Image: Reuters)

8. CRISIL On-Road Highways: Some "cracks" have surfaced on the highways on hybrid annuity model (HAM) with smaller developers finding financial closure of projects tough, rating agency Crisil said on Monday. "In the past three-and-a-half years, the HAM of road construction has grown substantially, but some warts are now showing up: smaller developers are finding financial closure elusive, and over-aged projects awaiting appointed dates are facing termination risk," CRISIL said in its research report. Crisil Research's analysis of road projects under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) showed that HAM has expanded its network since its launch in February 2016. (Image: Reuters)

9. NBFCs On Insolvency Resolution: The Reserve Bank can now seek resolution of non-banking financial companies having assets worth of at least Rs 500 crore under the insolvency law, a move that is likely to help in addressing woes in the NBFC sector. After discussions with the central bank, the corporate affairs ministry on Monday issued a notification specifying the categories of financial service providers (FSPs) that can be taken up for resolution under the "generic framework" of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The introduction of the "generic framework" comes against the backdrop of the ongoing liquidity crisis in the non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) that has also sparked concerns about the overall stability of the financial sector.

10. Sitharaman On 5 Trillion Economy Goal: The government has brought in major reforms to boost investment climate in the country for becoming a $5-trillion economy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in Parliament on Monday. Sitharaman said India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth during 2014-19 averaged 7.5 percent, which was the highest among G-20 countries. The IMF's World Economic Outlook (WEO) of October projects a significant slowdown in world output and trade in 2019. Yet, India, despite some recent deceleration of GDP growth, is still projected by WEO to grow at the fastest rate in 2019-20 among G-20 countries, she said. (Image: Reuters)
