NEW DELHI, February 1 – BUSINESS STANDARD – The finance ministry has developed a new sovereign comparative rating method, which would be a part of this year's Economic Survey. The index, called the “Comparative Rating Index for Sovereigns” (CRIS), is based on Moody’s ratings and data on the gross domestic product (GDPs) of different nations as given by the International Monetary Fund, said Chief Economic Adviser Kaushik Basu. The index has been developed keeping in mind the fact that when an investor searches across nations for a place to put money, the relative rating of nations is important. Major credit rating agencies give out sovereign credit rating of each nation as an absolute grade. – ECONOMIC TIMES – On 30 Jan, in Paris addressing the fourth India-France CEOs Forum, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma also said that In the coming two decades, India will see investments in excess of $100 billion in the nuclear power sector alone and at least a quarter of these will come from France.
