India’s new central bank governor has marked his first 100 days in office with a growth-friendly approach to monetary policy, suggesting he’ll be willing to cut interest rates further and keep liquidity flush as the economy braces for trade turmoil. Officials in New Delhi say a slowdown in inflation is giving Malhotra more room to cut rates now, which makes sense to do given rising global trade tensions. The government wants the Reserve Bank of India to loosen policy since economic conditions remain challenging, with credit growth worsening due to tight liquidity, the officials said, asking not to be identified in order to discuss internal matters. While officials haven’t given any explicit instructions to the RBI, they said bank executives met with the monetary authority in the past two months and raised concerns about their dwindling ability to lend, according to the people.

Starbucks is looking to make extended wait times a thing of the past. ? ?? In addition to its four-minute goal for in-store orders, it's aiming for four minutes for drive-thru and 12 minutes TOPS for mobile orders, according to documents seen by Bloomberg News. For the app, the priority is delivering the order within the estimated wait time provided when people order. Believe it or not, Starbucks didn't previously have a companywide wait-time goal that applied to all its types of orders. To meet the targets, the coffee chain is looking at staffing levels (a widespread complaint among baristas) and a new tech algorithm to help sequence orders, among other changes. Very curious to see how it all turns out. https://lnkd.in/ex9An4J9
