The merger of HDFC Limited with its associate, HDFC Bank, has further increased the size of the latter and benefited it from various organisational synergies. At the same time, the nature of the bank, being retail- and transaction-oriented, may have also changed as it moves towards higher exposures in wholesale and corporate banking. There may be, therefore, consequent impacts from the rise in industry concentration as well as systematic risk for the bank, and hence a need for enhanced corporate governance and regulatory oversight.

The significant aspects of the terrible conditions of Gaza are a denial of Palestinian statehood, continuing Israeli military occupation and, most importantly, refugee status that stretches back to the past of the Nakba.
The global South is discontented and aims to exert its influence in reshaping global politics and finance. China and India emerge as the primary contenders for leadership in the developing and underdeveloped world. While India seeks to reform the post-war order, China endeavours to revolutionise it. India’s approach may not be fundamentally opposed to the West, as its efforts are focused on discouraging poorer nations from being lured by Chinese financial incentives. The Western powers are apprehensive about the prospect of the postcolonial developing world uniting, especially under Russian and Chinese influence. They aim to counteract such unity, ensuring that it remains fragmented.
