The Faculty's Professor Jagjit Chadha has been quoted in the i Newspaper. He examines the implications of the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves visit to China, and her plan to bring stability back to the UK-China relationship, and reopen channels of communication rather than announcing big ticket items. He says said that while there is a link between Chinese economic performance and the UK’s, Reeves has far more pressing challenges at home, including kickstarting the economy by ensuring sustained, credible investment that reaches the right areas and removing blocks to economic growth such as planning restrictions. https://lnkd.in/ea5mvjtC

An obituary in the Financial Times covers the achievements of Manmohan Singh, who has died at the age of 92. An alumnus of the Faculty of Economics, he drove radical reform of an anti-market policy regime that was restricting growth in India. Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times. He says Singh’s period as Indian prime minister from 2004 to 2014 makes him one of the most important policymakers of our era. https://lnkd.in/ebBPwcfC

The Faculty of Economics is deeply saddened by the passing of one of our most distinguished alumnus. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh led India from 2004 to 2014 and was considered the architect of India's economic liberalisation. The Faculty’s Professor Sriya Iyer says “Dr Manmohan Singh was a great economist, visionary, scholar and statesman of India. Beginning with the Adam Smith Prize which he won as a student during his time studying economics in Cambridge in the 1950s, as an Honorary Fellow of St John’s College, and in his many roles concerned with financial and economic governance, culminating as India’s Prime Minister, Dr Singh quietly and respectfully championed the right to information, work, education, land and tolerance.” https://lnkd.in/ehrdUXKW
