This week on beyondbrics: India’s stifled growth outlook; Ryanair versus Budapest – round 1, round 2 and round 3; did desperate political maneuvering by Romania’s president Traian Basescu oust PM Emil Boc?; a twist in Brazil’s IPO revival; eurozone woes could halve China’s growth prospects; free speech opponents in India rejoice; Turkey presses ahead with coal and nuclear power plans; and could Nigeria be Africa’s biggest economy by 2014?
Elsewhere, LatAm FX appreciation gets too hot for comfort; Chinese executives can name their price; Mexico gets a business boost; “alarming” tumble in Chinese electricity use; China’s take on the Glencore-Xstrata deal; Panama’s go-go economic policy threatened by protests; Brazil privatises three of its biggest airports – or does it?; Indonesia’s surprises analysts by cutting interest rates; and fortunately for Russia, its corruption is civilised.
