Financial Crises In Europe




                          
What is the financial crisis? Why does it happen? Developing countries are at a loss to understand why developed countries are facing financial crises. These are the questions that have become common in the last two decades.


In a broader sense, financial crises is the inability of a country to generate income and leading it to halt the wheels of the economy. The most important question arises that there are several regulatory authorities around the world that have chalked out modus operandi to drive the economy in a smooth and efficient way. Still countries fail to stand strong and end up in financial crisis. There are two major reasons for this. The first one, is the incompetence of the ruling government and turning blind eye to major problems like tax evasion and corruption. In the long term these string of setbacks leads to financial crises. And the second reason, a war which reduces the consumption capacity of the country and hence leading to crises.
The most common causes of financial crises are among countries of Europe especially “The Pigs Nation”, which includes Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain. The major reason for the crises was ambitious plans of their manufacturing without gauging their capacity to which they can push themselves. The government encouraged high-risk lending and borrowing of loans from the bank. The government took a surplus of loans from the IMF to inject liquidity in the economy to robust their manufacturing sector. After the 2008 global crises these countries were unable to compete with other European Union countries and lead to another financial crisis of its decade.
The same was the case with Greece which was in the news after the IMF declared it bankrupt as it was not able to repay the installment of its loan in 2015. It did not take any leaf out from the global crises of 2008 and continued to collect the toxic cauldron of tax evasion and corruption and challenging the rules and regulations of  Bank of international settlement(BIS).
Sine qua non to deal with the financial crises is to strictly follow the guidelines like BASEL I, II, III of the Bank of international settlements, and it should be the duty of the ruling government to take all sorts of essential majors so that the economy runs smoothly and efficiently.

What will be the impact of mobile phones becoming all-pervasive?

We often get confused between a smartphone and a mobile phone. A smartphone is a mini-computer which has its own operating software(OS) and is capable of performing intelligent tasks like gaming, Internet of things and calling with the help of an application, whereas mobile phones were made to perform a unique task of calling wirelessly. When Martin Cooper developed this technology in 1973, no one knew that it could be reiterated to such an extent and will affect all walks of life and become all-pervasive. The moot question here is that do smartphones or mobile phone have impacted human life. The stark reality is that whether we want it or not life is now incomplete without a smartphone. The amount of time an individual invests in a smartphone on various activities such as social media, gaming, and connecting with different people has made it an integral part of his life. It has become a Hamletian dilemma for humans to decide whether to give up the usage of a smartphone w...

BHARAT VS INDIA A DIVIDED NATION

The title of the essay,” Bharat vs India a divided nation” has become quite evident as the problems we are facing are pushing us into a dark tunnel of a divided nation with a small lamp at the end of this throwing eternal light of hope, mutual trust and sense of confidence. The display of unity and solidarity during the great struggle of freedom from the yoke of British imperialism that we had before independence all appears to be fading away in this modern dynamics of globalization and the presence of occidentalism. But delving deep into this burning topic, Bharat vs India, is all about the different reasons which sound alarm to us as one nation. It may be Hindu vs Muslim, Urban vs Rural, or Hindi vs English as a national language. In India there are people with two sets of ideologies, one which supports the concept of modern India and others which wants rural India to be developed. One supports the spending of 200 crores on a Bollywood movie, robust it's space agency ...

Is India ready for smart cities?

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If we can get things done by merely dreaming about it then India would have been a developed country long ago. But the thing with smart cities and bullet trains in India is that it is an overly hyped concept of political parties with no ground reality just to fulfil their political mileage at the time of elections. But the question of Is India ready for smart cities? It is the most important question asked at the time of elevating environmental problems and having 13 out of 25 most polluted cities in the world in India. Rather it is the need of the hour for the government to look into the concept of smart cities with pugnacious attitude and with a sense of clairvoyance for the development of future generations. It is a stark reality that India’s population will grow two folds till 2050. The only way to combat all of these problems is to take the concept of smart cities seriously. But the thing is that we cannot merely pluck the future of smart...
