Mumbai land prices

Silom Road, Bangkok’s nightlife district, is the most expensive area to buy land in Bangkok, followed by Phloen Chit Road, according to data the Treasury Department gathered from 2016-2019. The pandemic may have fluctuated the prices, but no data on land value for 2020 has been reported by the department. They also say only asking prices were recorded, so it’s unclear how much the price decreased by during negotiations. On Silom Road, land prices per square wa are up to 1 million baht while land on Phloen Chit Road have been reported to cost up to 900,000 per square wa. A square wa is about 4 square metres. Land on Rajadamri Road ranges from 750,000 baht to 900,000 baht per square wa. The cheapest areas to buy land in Bangkok are farmlands in the Bangkhuntian district. Land prices range from 500 baht to 10,000 baht per square wa. Properties on Silom Road are also the most expensive in Bangkok. The price for a 170 square wa 4 storey office on the road costs around 155 million baht, ... » Learn More about Silom Road tops as the most expensive area to buy land in Bangkok

The outbreak of the African swine fever (ASF) was first officially recorded in September 2019 in one of the backyard hog raisers in Rodriguez, Rizal. Animal scientists hypothesized that the ASF virus must have originated from leftover food (kaning baboy or swill in the local language) collected by backyard hog raisers from major restaurants and hotels in Metro Manila and then fed to their pigs. From there, the virus spread to Bulacan and other Central Luzon provinces where carcasses of infected animals were sold or used by meat processors. At present, around half of the country’s provinces located in nine regions have been hit by the ASF. Most of those affected are located in the island of Luzon, particularly Central Luzon and the Calabarzon regions which produced 18.2 percent and 17.2 percent, respectively (more than 35 percent), of total hog production in 2019. Impacts on supply and prices As a result, total hog population, which is estimated by the Philippine Statistics ... » Learn More about ASF and the recovery of our local hog industry

The mad scramble for vaccines is the incident where the reality about moralizing and hypocrisy by Western powers is clearly demonstrated along with the bias of some media and headline grabbing politicians in the Philippines, who are a major source of rumors and fear and cause of the delays in acceptance of vaccination by our countrymen. What should our countrymen know that these media and politicians hide? First of all, stop all the chatter; the people should get vaccinated. Let’s save ourselves. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently deplored that 10 high income countries have administered 75 percent of all vaccines, while over 130 countries had not received a single dose.  Duke University had studied that contracts show the European Union had more than enough to inoculate its population two times, and Canada and the United Kingdom by five times.  The United States, which had procured almost a quarter of the world’s supply at the time covering its population ... » Learn More about Critics, rumors and fear delay recovery; Sinovac helps start optimism

The initial and individual country responses to the pandemic have been two-pronged: first to tackle the health emergency and second to restore the economy. Given the scale of socio-economic impacts, the 37th ASEAN Summit recognised the need for coordinated actions and promulgated the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF), which serves as the consolidated exit strategy for the region. The five strategic areas of ACRF are intended to address both the region’s immediate needs during the reopening stage for a successful transition to the “new normal” as well as medium- and long-term needs through the stages of COVID-19 recovery and for longer-term sustainability. The framework also aims to advance a more sustainable and resilient future. The pandemic has put ASEAN governments in a bind, forcing them to choose between saving lives and protecting livelihoods. Since March, ASEAN members have announced several special economic recovery packages equal to 2pc to 7pc of their ... » Learn More about Blueprint for a greener recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a timely demonstration of the extent to which digital technology could become fully entrenched in a city, as a means to support public health precautions and maintain effective infection control. Sensor connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT) have been used to facilitate the screening for and tracking of infections while also enabling the delivery of contactless services in the new normal of people’s daily lives. Thailand has successfully implemented a smart tracking system called “Thai Chana”, which allows residents to check in and out when visiting public spaces. By tracking people’s visits to public places, the system is able to recommend a test and/or quarantine via a notification to users who visited that specific place, at the same time as a person who was later found to be infected. As the latest ICT technologies and next-generation data platforms become realities, Thailand and its fellow ASEAN members remain committed to enhancing ... » Learn More about SMART CITY: THE WORLD OF OUR MAKING

The government has generated P463.3 billion from its latest retail treasury bond (RTB) offering, a portion of which would be used to finance its efforts to help the economy recover from the coronavirus crisis, the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) reported on Thursday. National Treasurer Rosalia de Leon told reporters that the total figure was composed of P411.8 billion in new money and P51.5 billion raised through switch offers.
