What’s Happening Beyond Markets?

  • Minimum Support Prices for Rabi crops in the 2026-27 season have been approved, with farmers to receive about ₹84,263 crore and procurement expected at 297 lakh metric tonnes. Foodgrain MSP payouts have tripled over the past decade, and procurement now benefits 1.84 crore farmers. The government also plans to procure 100% of select pulses up to 2028-29 for self-sufficiency.
  • NITI Aayog is pushing for direct tax reforms focused on decriminalisation. Its new Tax Policy Working Paper recommends shifting 12 out of 35 criminal offences under the Income-tax Act to civil penalties, aiming for fair and trust-based governance. The report targets a rational, modern tax compliance regime for India.
  • India’s trade dependence on the US rose by 0.6% in the past year, according to UNCTAD’s Global Trade Outlook. Global trade remains robust, driven by developing countries and sectors like electronics and electric vehicles. However, persistent geopolitical tensions and US policy shifts keep risks in view.
  • Record capital expenditure was logged by the road transport and railway ministries, spending over ₹3.1 lakh crore between April and September. This combined spending represents over half of the government’s total capex outlay for FY26, with the road transport ministry achieving its highest-ever utilisation and both ministries exceeding their targets.

What are Financing Activities in a Cash Flow Statement? 

Financing activities in a cash flow statement give insights into how a business raises money and pays it back. This section tracks cash flowing in from sources like loans, issuing shares, or borrowing, and cash flowing out when the company repays debts, buys back shares, or pays dividends. It’s about how a business funds its operations and growth, not the day-to-day functioning or asset purchases.

For example, taking a bank loan is a cash inflow, while repaying it is a cash outflow. Watching financing activities tells you if the company is borrowing more, paying its dues, or rewarding shareholders. It’s a simple way to see how a business manages its financial obligations and growth plans, above its regular sales and investments.
