NEW DELHI, February 14 – ECONOMIC TIMES – The international economic outlook is showing tentative signs of improvement, the OECD's December survey of growth prospects showed on Monday. The survey picture was mixed in the euro zone, where seven countries were now "pointing towards a positive change in momentum" while the region's overall reading dipped marginally. – ECONOMIC TIMES – A dedicated gate at the Attari-Wagah border to facilitate movement of goods between India and Pakistan will open by the end of April this year, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma announced Monday. The Pakistan commerce minister, accompanied by an 80-member business delegation, had visited India in September last year. During that visit, the two ministers had agreed to increase two-way trade to $6 billion in three years from $2.7 billion recorded in 2010-11. This time, Sharma is leading the largest Indian business delegation to Pakistan, comprising of chief executives of over 100 Indian companies. – ECONOMIC TIMES – French retail giant Auchan, touted as Wal-Mart's most aggressive global rival, has held talks with Micky Jagtiani's Landmark Group for a possible India entry. The ongoing discussions centered around a potential joint venture but the final agreement will depend on whether India moves ahead with plans for foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail. Landmark Group currently runs the Dutch retail chain Spar in India through a licencing agreement signed in 2007 which comes to an end in December this year. The Spar MD Gordon Campbell who was in India last month had said they were open to engaging with other partners to expand more aggressively here. Spar has 10 stores in India currently. – ECONOMIC TIMES – If the World Bank is correct, 2012 will see the second slowest year of global economic growth in a decade, at a level consistent with a world recession that, like the 2008/2009 financial crisis, would not spare Asia. Its sister organisation, the International Monetary Fund, warns that economic expansion in China could be slashed in half this year if Europe's debt debacle worsens, grim news given that China adds more to global growth than any other economy. And around 600 of the world's best private sector economists polled by Reuters say global growth momentum is disappearing – ECONOMIC TIMES – Sharda Motor Industries Limited on Monday announced the opening of a Research & Development Centre at Mahindra World City, Chennai. The R&D Centre besides providing local support from concept to implementation will also help reduce cost and enhance performance through value engineering and value analysis.

SMIL has already invested $ 6 million in the facility and plans to further augment it to $ 15 million by 2014. – EXIM NEWS SERVICE – The External Affairs Minister, Mr S. M.
