Volvo unveils plan

BANGALORE:

Swedish auto giant Volvo said on Tuesday it planned to build buses destined for Europe’s roads in Bangalore, providing a major boon to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ campaign. Volvo’s Indian subsidiary has been exporting luxury air-conditioned coaches to South Asian countries, including Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, for two years and now has its sights set firmly on Europe. “We will be the first bus company to export to the European market from India, taking advantage of lower manpower costs and neutral duty,” Volvo Buses Corporation President Hakan Agnevall told reporters.

China bank lending

BEIJING:

China’s bank lending rose in June and the broader money supply also increased, the central bank said on Tuesday, as monetary easing measures to boost the world’s second-largest economy kick in. Domestic banks extended new loans of 1.27 trillion yuan ($204.5 billion), up from 900.8 billion yuan in May, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) said in a statement. Total social financing — a broader measure of credit in the economy — reached 1.86 trillion yuan last month, it said.
