UK Economy digging it's own grave !

UK is experiencing a serious economic crisis for several reasons

A crisis related to the expense of living:

The British pound depreciates to its lowest level ever about the US dollar. Food costs are rising, and gas and electricity rates are significantly rising as the UK experiences double-digit inflation, which is at a 40-year high. A mini-budget was introduced to solve the energy and economic crisis that has caused record-high gas prices in the UK.


The lack of gas storage has caused excessive energy prices, which affect inflation and production.  Power businesses are facing severe financial hardship due to the price cap, which was implemented at 280 pounds per megawatt hour.

The UK government raised the energy price cap by 175% to 520 pounds per megawatt hour. Even if energy costs rise for the next two years, the price cap will stay at 520 pounds per megawatt hour. The impoverished sections of the UK population are disproportionately impacted by the rise in comparison to the wealthy. Charging the rich and the poor the same amount for energy use has detrimental effects. Rich people consuming more energy without paying higher damages or penalties cause losses for the power companies. High power bills heavily impact the poor as a result of not taking consumption into account.

Due to problems in the bond market, the UK could experience an economic crisis:

Losses from rich and ultra-rich people are expected to place a significant financial strain on the government. The UK's economy might descend into a total disaster due to problems in the bond market, which could also cause banking, mortgage, and currency crises.


Bond interest rates and government borrowing costs have an impact on the UK's economic situation. The economic crisis is exacerbated by currency depreciation, which makes the UK bond market less appealing to large traders. The government cuts bond unit prices to attract buyers when there is an excess supply, which raises borrowing rates. The UK's economy is in crisis as a result of bond market volatility and currency depreciation. A full-blown crisis might be triggered by rising energy prices, government borrowing, and tax cuts. Depreciation of the currency would also cause investors in the bond market to panic, which would reduce demand for pounds.

Dollars Domination In Global Economy

 A world currency is any money that can freely be used or exchanged for another currency inside or outside the borders of the country that issues it. It may also be called as Global currency.  The Agreement of Bretton Woods The United States supplied the Allies with materials and weaponry prior to entering World War II. By the end of the war, the U.S. had the majority of the gold reserves since most nations made their payments in gold. As nations exhausted their stockpiles, a restoration to the gold standard was unachievable. In 1944, representatives from forty-four Allied nations convened in Bretton Wood, New Hampshire, to devise a framework for managing foreign exchange that would not put any nation at a disadvantage. The group determined that the world's currencies will now be fixed to the US dollar rather than gold. The Bretton Woods Agreement, as it was referred as, established the power of central banks to uphold fixed exchange rates between different currencies and the US do

Degree is just a Degree !!!

The closest thing to magic is engineering. Many in India would concur that engineering has produced tales of "rags to riches," turning impoverished families into millionaires and timid students into tech titans. Therefore, magic summarizes everything, but the secret to all magic is secrecy: if the world discovers your trick, you will no longer be in demand. Has engineering advanced to that point? Have our contemporary degrees advanced to that point? Tonight, we'll examine this issue, and there's a good reason why most of us concur that Indian Institutes of Technology, or IITs, are among the best universities in the world. The idea is that once you pass the IAT, you're good to go for the rest of your life. The remuneration package may not be waiting for you now that the IITs' recent announcements concern the Bombay campus. 30.6% of students have not yet been assigned. Over 700 of the 2,000 students registered for placement have not yet been placed. This is the
