Davos 2023: Shift to old pension schemes may inhibit states’ spending, says Raghuram Rajan
State governments adopting the so-called old pension scheme may end up curbing current expenditure as they build up liabilities for the future, according to Raghuram Rajan, the former governor of the Reserve Bank of India. “I think the reason we moved to the new pension scheme was because in the old pension scheme there were huge liabilities that built up. It is important to remember that defined benefit schemes typically are easier for government to take on because you are not recognizing the liabilities,” Rajan told Moneycontrol in an interview at Davos 2023 .

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On December 4, real estate baron Dmitry Zelenov became one of the latest Russian oligarchs to mysteriously pass away after he got ill during a dinner party in the French Riviera, fell over a stair railing and succumbed to critical head injuries. Though they suspect no wrongdoing, French police are still investigating Zelenov's unusual and untimely death.
