Economic Overview Sample Clauses

Economic Overview. The Indian economy comprises a wide spectrum of activity, ranging from high technology to subsistence agriculture. Reforms introduced in the early 1990s have spurred economic growth. Over the last decade, India has been one of the world’s fastest growing economies. The economy grew by 8.3 per cent in 2005. Despite recent progress, significant challenges remain, including addressing the persistent fiscal deficit and government debt, and improving infrastructure. Further economic reform is required to lift India’s growth trajectory even higher. Another challenge is to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are experienced more widely. Since independence in 1947, India has regarded itself as a major international player. It has been at the forefront of developing country activism and was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement. India has also been an active member of the UN and the Commonwealth, is a member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation and has recently sought to expand its cooperation with East Asia in pursuit of its ‘Look East’ policy. India is seeking to consolidate further its international role by increasing its focus on ‘economic diplomacy’, particularly to secure energy supplies. India is also lobbying for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and taking a more prominent role in fora such as the WTO.

Economic Overview. FOREST’s biomass energy activities support national objectives to strengthen the forest products industry and the economy of Russia. FOREST continues to receive numerous requests from companies in search of assistance to develop biomass energy systems capable of burning wood wastes. As the private sector continues to grow, an increasing number of Russian companies are seeking ways to cut costs and add value to raw logs. The restructuring of the United Energy Systems of Russia and the difficulty in forecasting energy tariffs has also created an unstable energy environment. Thus, for many companies, investing in biomass energy systems fueled with wood wastes makes compelling economic sense. Companies save by utilizing biomass wastes for which they currently pay a disposal cost, and by replacing purchased fuel and electricity with self-generation. Companies also earn profits by utilizing biomass systems to produce wood products with greater value for local and international markets. In Year Four, FOREST’s main priority was to continue to work closely with partner companies in the design, start-up, commissioning, and operation of facilities. For instance, FOREST assisted Dynasty of Voyage, LLC to increase its boiler and dry kiln capacity. The company is expected to increase profits by USD 130,000 in added value per year and save USD 10-20 thousand in avoided landfill costs. FOREST has also continued to increase Russian expertise in the region in the efficient use of wood residues. In April 2004, XXXXXX brought a group of Russian specialists to the Northwest region of the U.S. for training sessions and site visits of efficient wood energy use among the forest products industry. XXXXXX’s design review sessions have also expanded the skills of Russian specialists in the region through cooperation and collaboration among companies. Additional companies were also selected to receive FOREST business development financial support in the use of biomass energy to improve product quality, productivity and/or waste utilization, and to identify new approaches for improving and modifying the sale and service of Russian biomass energy equipment to forest industry companies. Such products will serve as models for other companies in the region.
Economic Overview. There is broad consensus across the political spectrum in favour of economic liberalisation. Liberalisation has led to increased competitiveness and substantial growth in Chile’s traditional export sectors, namely mining and fishing, but also in new industries such as fruit and vegetables, aquaculture, forestry, wine and services.

(e) The Company and the Members acknowledge that allocations like those described in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii)(c) (“Forfeiture Allocations”) result from the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss provided for in this Agreement.
