NoneSri Lanka is witnessing a significant shift towards sustainable finance with Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) introducing the listing and trading of green bonds in 2023. DFCC Bank led the way among financial institutions to issue the first green bond in the country, aimed at funding renewable energy projects particularly in the solar energy sector. This has been followed by Alliance Finance announcing the plans to issue redeemable green bonds to raise Rs. 1 billion. The issuance of green bonds by these institutions is an encouraging sign, especially in the context of global and local climate change concerns. As the world grapples with the impacts of climate change, these initiatives are crucial for driving the transition to a low-emission economy. With Sri Lanka’s commitment to achieve net zero carbon status by 2050, the adoption of green finance instruments is a positive step towards mitigating environmental risks and fostering sustainable development. While green bonds are promising, the current focus remains largely on the aspects of issuance and uptake. It should be noted that the success of Green Bonds depends not only on their issuance but also on their effective deployment towards projects that genuinely contribute to environmental sustainability. MTI recently completed the Green Finance Taxonomy for the Maldives and was appointed as an Observer Organisation of the Green Climate Fund. Thus, a critical question arises: Does Sri Lanka have the necessary green finance ecosystem, infrastructure, and impact measurement mechanisms to ensure that the funds raised through Green Bonds are effectively deployed to mitigate climate change? A robust green finance ecosystem is essential to provide clear guidelines, regulatory frameworks, and impact measurement tools to track the environmental benefits of the projects funded by green bonds. A national green finance taxonomy plays a crucial role in this context. A well-defined taxonomy provides a framework for classifying and evaluating green projects, ensuring that the funds are directed towards genuinely sustainable initiatives to prevent greenwashing. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) launched Sri Lanka’s national green taxonomy in 2022 to classify economic activities that can be considered as ‘Green’. The directions issued by CBSL require financial institutions to follow; Allocation reporting – to ensure alignment of use of proceeds by green financing instruments with the taxonomy and Impact reporting – to assess the impact made by providing finance to a green project Yet, providing specific and comparable impact reporting guidelines remains unaddressed. Public accountability is another vital aspect. Linking green bond issuance to measurable impact ensures transparency and accountability. It is essential for financial institutions to regularly report on the environmental outcomes of the projects funded by green bonds. This not only builds trust among investors but also ensures that the funds are making a tangible difference in addressing climate change. In conclusion, the issuance of green bonds by Sri Lankan financial institutions marks a significant advancement towards sustainable finance. However, to fully realise the potential of these green bonds, it is crucial to establish a robust green finance ecosystem with comprehensive impact measurement mechanisms to achieve a greener and more sustainable future.
5 more people booked; LOC, blue notice issued against Myron Panaji: Spreading its net in an investment fraud, the economic offences cell of the Goa police has booked five more people in connection with cheating cases where a husband-wife duo allegedly duped nearly 70 persons to the tune of over Rs 100 crore, mostly from Salcete taluka. The five persons, who are the directors of Idylic Goan Gateways and Developments Private Limited, are 32-year-old Fatorda resident Nolan Lawrence Antao, Joaquim Rosario Pires, also from Fatorda, 54-year-old Kudal resident Vijay Joil, 55-year-old Benaulim local Navnik Mario Pereira and 53-year-old Sushant Ghodge from Pernem. Giving details of the case, SP (crime branch) Rahul Gupta said, “On August 8, we registered an FIR under sections 406, 420 read with Section 34 of the IPC upon the complaint of Navelim resident Ivon Suresh Joaquim Almeida against accused Myron Rodrigues and his wife Deepali Parab, both residents of Kirbhat Nuvem, for cheating the complainant to the tune of over Rs 36.54 lakh on the pretext of investing his money in share market. The couple offered lucrative returns and misappropriated the money of the complainant for their own use. On August 30, another FIR under sections 406, 420 read with Section 34 of the IPC was registered after receiving more complaints against the same accused for duping the investors to the tune of over Rs 20.83 crore, Gupta said. The police received a total of 38 complaints from the investors against accused Myron Rodrigues and Deepali Parab all amounting to over Rs 23.21 crore, he said. “As per the complainants, there are more than 50 investors who have been duped of Rs 100 crore. Fraud mostly happened with the people from Salcete taluka. The complainants had been investing since 2011, and they have not received their money back,” he disclosed. Gupta said the accused Myron introduced himself to investors as a stock broker and Deepali as a financial expert and duped the people. The senior police official said they are neither registered with SEBI nor with the RBI to carry out trading in securities. “41A notice has been issued to Deepali Parab; she has been constantly summoned at the EOC for investigation. Myron is absconding and evading the process of law. Through intelligence we came to know that Myron fled from India to London via Dubai on July 24, 2023. A lookout circular (LOC) through Bureau of Immigration and a blue notice through Interpol have been issued against the accused Myron. We are making efforts to bring him back to Goa. Red Corner notice is in process,” he said. Gupta also said Myron had given mutual divorce to his ex-wife Sunita Rodrigues in 2021 and thereafter married Deepali Parab. “We have frozen bank accounts of the accused Myron and Deepali having a total amount of over Rs 6 lakh, fixed deposit of over Rs 35 lakh and also two bank lockers. We have identified eight properties belonging to Myron, Sunita and Deepali, the SP said. The police have “blocked” their properties by sending letters to sub-registrar not to sell them. The police have also shared the information with the ED too, he said, adding that there are seven flats and one villa all worth Rs 3.5 crore. As per statement summary of bank account of Myron, he received over Rs 130 crore and spent over Rs 129 crore from 2009 to August 17, 2023, the police official said. “Myron and Deepali are proprietors of body corporate called DMA Designing New Worlds LLP, which was incorporated before the Registrar of Company, Goa. The said company dealt in real estate business,” he said. He also informed that the company Idylic Goan Gateways and Developments Private Limited and Myron and Deepali are partners in a partnership firm i.e. Prospect Realty which was registered before the sub-registrar of Salcete, Margao and the said firm is engaged in real estate business. “Myron transferred investors’ money of over Rs 3.25 crore from November 2022 to June 2023 from his bank account to Idylic Goan Gateways and Developments Private Limited and Rs 2 crore to Prospect Realty for business purpose,” Gupta said. He informed that on November 21, all the directors of Idylic Goan Gateways and Developments Private Limited, have been arrayed as accused in the crime after scrutiny of the financial transactions. “We have also added sections 3 and 5 of the Goa Protection of Interest of Depositors (In Financial Establishments) Act 1999 (GPID) for attaching the movable and immovable properties of accused persons and to carry out the liquidation process. We are investigating their role too in the whole fraud committed by Myron,” he said. “Accused Nolan, Vijay Joil, Navnik Mario Pereira and Sushant Ghodge filed anticipatory bail application before the sessions court, Panaji. The court granted interim relief to them and imposed conditions. They were directed to report to the EOC for five days from Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm,” he said. “Both the cases are under investigation. Efforts are continuing to nab accused Myron and associates,” he said. Goa’s biggest investment scam: Sawant Margao: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday said the economic offence cell of the Goa police is investigating the “Goa’s biggest investment scam”, adding that action will be initiated against those involved in it. He was reacting to the lookout circular issued through the Bureau of Immigration and blue notice through Interpol against Nuvem resident Myron Rodrigues for allegedly cheating several people of Goa, luring them of good returns. Others have also been booked in connection with the scam. Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of a programme in Margao, Sawant said, “This is the biggest investment scam in Goa. It started in Fatorda and has connection with London. We will investigate it and will take action against those involved in it.’’ The Chief Minister exhorted the people affected by the scam to come forward and file police complaints.To retell 'Pedro Páramo,' director Rodrigo Pietro went on his own journey to the past

India News | MP Police Officials Visit Prayagraj to Study Mahakumbh Security Strategies for 2028 Ujjain KumbhA few days after losing re-election in 1980, President Jimmy Carter attended a tribute to Aaron Copeland that included his Fanfare for the Common Man . If any president embodied that work, it was Carter. Citizen, veteran, farmer, governor, president, Sunday school teacher, peace promoter, home builder for those without shelter. Carter was the antidote to the disgraced president Richard Nixon and all the damage he inflicted on America’s democracy. Carter projected honesty, compassion, religious rectitude, morality, racial justice and public service. Rosalynn, his life partner in marriage and governance, his wife of 77 years and First Lady, was as devoted to public service as her husband. President Jimmy Carter waves to the crowd while walking with wife Rosalynn and their daughter Amy to the White House following his inauguration on January 20, 1977. Credit: AP//Suzanne Vlamis Carter’s virtues embroidered his presidency. He worked so hard. His ambitions were noble. Carter’s approval rating was 75 per cent in his first months in office in 1977. But a series of events overtook him. Carter’s highest priority, a national energy plan, took 18 months to enact and was only a marginal success. In 1979, the US was hit with an oil shock spurred by Iran and OPEC that cut supplies and drove up prices. There were petrol lines everywhere. That summer, the country was gripped by a sense of profound drift. For 10 days, Carter retreated to Camp David for meetings and consultations with experts and citizens to help him find answers to the country’s deepening malaise. Carter came down from the mountain and delivered a sermon to the country on what was wrong: “It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation. The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America.” A few days later, Carter fired five members of his cabinet. His approval rating sank to 30 per cent. The American people’s loss of confidence was in the president and his ability to govern. In November 1979, following the return of Ayatollah Khomeini and the overthrow of the Shah, who was aligned with the West, the US Embassy in Tehran was seized and 52 American diplomats were taken hostage. A rescue mission failed spectacularly in April 1980, with American service members lost when their helicopters crashed in the desert. The Iranians, intent on further humiliating America and its leader, did not release the hostages until moments after Carter ceased being president. Those were the depths of Carter’s presidency. The fights over his policy agenda were agonising. It got to a point where many Democrats in Congress took more relish in attacking and criticising the White House than in attacking and beating the Republicans. Inflation would hit an all-time high of 14.6 per cent in the election year of 1980, accompanied by even higher interest rates. Those wars inside the party led many Democrats to support Ted Kennedy, the last surviving brother after JFK and Bobby, to aim for the White House and reclaim the Kennedy mantle. The party was torn down the middle. Carter prevailed and won renomination, yet his presidency was fatally weakened. He was crushed by Ronald Reagan. The Carter presidency continues to shape America’s destiny today. The reason Democrats were able to pass so much legislation under President Joe Biden is because they remembered that disunity was death to Carter’s domestic policy agenda. During his presidency, Carter never visited Australia but met prime minister Malcolm Fraser three times. The leaders faced momentous events. In 1978, the US recognised China and severed ties with Taiwan. Australia formally joined the US boycott of the 1980 Olympics following the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. Jimmy Carter with Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser in 1979. Credit: Fairfax Media Most Americans at that time judged Jimmy Carter’s presidency as a failure. Yet his profound virtues and decency, his compassion for humanity, the noble principles he stood for and sought to fulfil, his exemplary conduct as a former president, and his all-encompassing marriage to Rosalynn are being remembered and celebrated today, more than four decades later. On taking office as governor of Georgia in 1971, Jimmy Carter declared: “The time for racial discrimination is over.” As with his southern predecessor in the presidency, Lyndon Johnson, Carter fought segregation and was irrevocably committed to civil rights, racial justice and racial equity. Carter’s last public act was to live long enough, at age 100, to redeem his fundamental values with his vote to make Kamala Harris the first Black woman to take the oath of office. Jimmy Carter met a moment in American politics when the country was yearning for honesty, fidelity to basic American values, a restoration of faith in good government, and a belief that the country could go forward together. He could not fulfil his goals as president, but what Carter stood for endures. Bruce Wolpe is a senior fellow at the University of Sydney’s United States Studies Centre.

Opinion: 5 common misconceptions about women and entrepreneurship
Jimmy Carter, a former peanut farmer who rose from rural Georgia to the White House and went on to a storied post-presidency that included winning the Nobel Peace Prize, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Ga. He was 100. An outsider, free from the baggage of Washington, Carter defeated President Gerald R. Ford in 1976, a victory seen as representing a clean break with the Watergate era. But the 39th president’s solitary term in office was hamstrung by a sluggish economy and crises at home and abroad. His presidency was also an anomaly, sandwiched between a total of two decades of Republican presidents. Carter, who was born on Oct. 1, 1924, was predeceased by his wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died on Nov. 19, 2023. The couple was married for more than 77 years. Their son Chip Carter confirmed the former president’s death Sunday to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution . The Carter Center announced in February 2023 that the former president had decided to receive hospice care and spend his remaining time at home with family, rather than seek further medical treatment “after a series of short hospital stays.” Years before, Carter had been diagnosed with melanoma, which he announced in August 2015 had extended to his brain. He said at the time that he expected to have a short time to live, but after aggressive treatment he was reported free of the melanoma by December of that year. In what was perhaps the high point of his post-presidency years, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Oct. 11, 2002, for what the Nobel Foundation called “his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” In his acceptance speech, Carter criticized the very notion of preemptive war as having “catastrophic consequences.” He added: “If we accept the premise that the United Nations is the best avenue for the maintenance of peace, then the carefully considered decisions of the United Nations Security Council must be enforced. All too often, the alternative has proven to be uncontrollable violence and expanding spheres of hostility.” Relationship with Congress Scholars have judged Carter’s dealings with Congress critically. Democrats controlled both the Senate and the House for the entirety of his presidency. But many experts have argued that the former agribusinessman was largely disinterested in working directly with lawmakers. After leaving the White House, Carter tried to reverse the conventional wisdom about his relationship with Congress, arguing that lawmakers mostly supported his initiatives. “Despite the controversial and often unpopular nature of my proposals to the Congress, I had remarkably good success in congressional approval of bills I supported,” he wrote in his 2010 book “White House Diary.” Carter pointed to congressional vote data compiled by CQ, writing that at the time his book was published it showed he ranked third among all presidents, behind Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy, when it came to garnering congressional approval for legislation on which he took a position and was voted on by lawmakers. Congress gave Carter his way 76.6% of the time, according to the CQ Almanac data. But Politifact, an independent fact-checking organization, found the former Georgia governor’s batting average with Congress was “unexceptional.” That’s because few of Carter’s initiatives actually became law; CQ’s methodology handed out successful scores for a positive vote in one chamber, even if a bill never became law. The roots of Carter’s struggles with Congress can be traced to his time in the governor’s mansion, according to scholars at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, which specializes in presidential studies. “As when he was governor, Carter had an abiding dislike for the backroom dealing that is so pervasive in Washington,” Robert Strong, a politics professor at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., wrote for the Miller Center. Strong said lawmakers “found the new president hard to deal with.” Soon after he entered the White House, lawmakers sensed he lacked the support of many Americans — and they pounced. “Congress asserted its power over the president by shooting down (a) consumer-protection bill and (a) labor reform package,” Strong said. “Carter responded by vetoing a public works package in 1978 on the grounds that it was inflationary. A pattern of mutual distrust and contempt had been set.” Energy policy Also complicating his dealings with Congress was his opposition, soon after taking office, to a rivers and harbors bill supported by Democratic leaders that he felt was full of wasteful spending. Perhaps his biggest achievement was on energy policy, which Carter pushed at a time when U.S. oil imports had risen 65% in the four years before he became president. Carter’s advocacy also came when America was heavily reliant on imports from the OPEC cartel. He convinced lawmakers to pass several measures credited with increasing oil and natural gas supplies and generally lowering prices, as well as others that reshaped mileage standards for cars and American companies’ use of fuel. Carter faced an economy besieged by so-called stagflation, a combination of high inflation, high unemployment and plodding growth. His often-troubled presidency was a drag on congressional Democrats — and his own reelection effort — in 1980. Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan walloped Carter, taking 489 of 538 Electoral College votes. Carter won just six states, including Georgia, as well as the District of Columbia. Republicans picked up 34 House seats and 12 in the Senate, enough to take control of that chamber. After the presidency Carter revealed during an August 2015 press conference that the Iranian hostage crisis, in which an attempted military rescue of embassy employees ended in the deaths of eight American servicemembers, was among his biggest regrets. “I wish I had sent one more helicopter to get the hostages, and we would’ve rescued them,” Carter said, “and I would’ve been reelected.” The New York Times reported in March 2023 that allies of Reagan went on a mission to the Middle East seeking to stop the Iranians from releasing 52 American hostages before Election Day in 1980. After leaving the White House, Carter was among the most active former presidents of the modern era. He participated in election monitoring around the globe, and regularly worked with Habitat for Humanity. What’s more, the Carter Center in Atlanta studied issues such as mental health and fought lesser-known problems, including Guinea-worm disease. Before leaving office in 2001, then-President Bill Clinton reportedly told confidants that the Carter Center was the model for the kind of post-presidency pursuits he envisioned. ©2024 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
