IBPS CLERKS-IX PRELIMS - Model Test 18 Question Paper
Read the paragraph carefully and conclude the paragraph with the option given below
1. For everyone who expected Budget 2010 to lay out the roadmap for goods and services tax (GST) rollout,
there was much disappointment Not only did the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee sound cautiously
optimistic about April 2011 rollout, there was very little in the form of explicit steps in that direction other
than alignment of rates for goods and services as well as expansion of the ambit of service tax.
It can be argued that the government has added a few more services to the list like the previous
years.
A comprehensive list of services is critical for the implementation of GST.
It can be argued that when GST is at the threshold, the government should not have tinkered with the
rates.
But everything is not as simple as it appears.
So where does the plan to migrate to GST stand?

2. It remains to be seen whether the economy-wide innovative trend would be sufficient to shore up growth
in the secular period. For, as researchers like Solow have shown since the 1950s, the bulk of growth over the
long term is not so much due to increase in factor inputs like capital and labour as technological change,
efficiency improvements and productivity gains. And given our weak science, technology and innovation
indicators, to assume world-leading growth for decades would verily belie the empirical evidence of
umpteen studies –
that growth is essentially about technological progress.

that the Solow thesis is not the heart of modern growth theory.
that economic growth in India would surpass those of the other major economies soon.
that technology is not really an exogenous, standalone factor.
that figures can be rather deceptive.

3. The Economic Survey went to the extent of expunging details of distribution losses of power utilities,
preferring to drop an entire table of figures on rates of return, commercial losses and other attendant annual
projections. The Economic Advisory Council is concerned about unacceptably-large revenue leakages in
distributing power-and rightly so. But without up-to-date data and comprehensive figures about happenings
and goings-on in the vexed power sector, the policy process would surely be left plodding along in the dark.
The survey clearly needs to have wide-ranging data on distribution.

When it comes to power distribution, large unaccounted-for losses continue pan-India.
The fact is that there’s a huge gap when it comes to electricity generation and supply.
Yet, we seem more focused on ritualizing reforms and opening up.
Yet, aggregate technical and commercial losses amount to almost 35%.
4. Finding ways to improve humanity’s living standards is the point of economics. Having a good measure of
living standards, you may think, is therefore pretty fundamental to the discipline. For decades, economists
have turned to gross domestic product (GDP) when they want an estimate of how well off people are. By
how much are Americans better off than Indians, or than their parents’ generation? Chances are the answer
will start with GDP. GDP is really a measure of an economy’s output, valued at market prices. As societies
produce more, and therefore earn more, their material well-being rises.
That said, economists and statisticians have been debating for years whether GDP measures true
well-being.
But GDP was not intended to be a comprehensive measure of society’s well-being.
But GDP is not a true measure of improving living standards as GDP is an aggregate measure.
But GDP isn’t the only measure.
So when economists want to measure the living standards of whole societies, GDP is where they
usually start.
5. The American novelist John Gardner famously defined the crafting of fiction as the creation of a vivid and
continuous dream-first in the mind of the writer and then, if the novelist does his or her job properly, in the
mind of the reader. The British novelist Rupert Thomson too talks about the roots of his inspiration in a
similar way: whenever I start a new book I have nightmares. Night after night. For a long time I didn’t
understand why. Recently I came up with a theory. To write fiction of any power and authenticity you have to
draw on the deepest, most secret parts of yourself.
You might say that I want my fiction to have that relationship to reality.
The paradox at the heart of Thomson’s work is that it remains as strange as a dream.
That’s where fiction comes from, but it’s also where dreams are made.
I seem to be attracted to ideas that allow me to do this.
Thomson works hard to help the reader imagine himself deeply into the story.
In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are printed
below the passage and against each, five words/phrases are suggested, one of which fits the appropriately.
Find out the appropriate word in each case.
“The globalization of the yuan seems remorseless and unstoppable,” (6) The Economist in April 2014.
Indeed, use of the Chinese yuan, or renminbi (RMB), in global payments would double between then and
August 2015, to 2.8% of the total, making China’s currency the fourth most used in the world.
Since then, however, this growth has been almost entirely (7) . The RMB’s share in global payments has
fallen to 1.6%, knocking it down to number seven. Its use in global bond markets is down 45% from its 2015
peak. RMB deposits in Hong Kong banks are also () down by half. And whereas 35% of China’s cross-border
trade was (8) in RMB in 2015 (with most of the remainder in dollars), that share has fallen to about 12%
today.
The RMB’s reversal of fortune reflects four factors in (9) .
For starters, whereas the dollar value of the RMB rose nearly every year from 2005 to 2013 – by 36.7% in
total – it has since fallen steadily, discouraging (10) . Since 2014, the exchange rate has weakened by an
increasing amount every year, and is now down over 11% since the drop began, despite (11) by the People’s
Bank of China (PBOC) to support the currency (not to hold it down, as US President Donald Trump has
alleged). As a result, investors have (12) the idea that RMB (13) is a one-way bet. Capital inflows driven by
that bet are over.
The RMB’s fall against the dollar reflects the slowing of China’s debt-fueled economic growth and the (14)
of default risks. Chinese residents and companies are, not surprisingly, seeking new ways (legal and
otherwise) to move money out of the country.
In April, PBOC Deputy Governor Yi Gang tried to reassure nervous investors in a presentation in New York
by saying that the level of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the Chinese banking sector had “pretty much
stabilized after a long time of (15) .” This was, he said, “a good development in the financial market.”

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have
been printed in bold to help you locate them.
It has been less than six years since the so-called BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia, India and China — held
their first formal summit, and five since they admitted South Africa to their club of ambitious emerging
economies, BRICS. Earlier this month, BRICS leaders formalised the world’s newest bank: the New
Development Bank (NDB), which will use its $100 billion in initial capital to fund infrastructure and
sustainable development projects both at home and overseas. The NDB will not only bind them together in
common purpose but will introduce something not seen since the dawn of contemporary multilateralism:
competition to the Western-dominated international financial system. Despite the best intentions of many
working at the World Bank and IMF, existing international financial institutions have consistently fallen short
of their aim to provide development assistance to the most marginalised. With their often-problematic loan
conditions, they have at times impeded rather than promoted equitable development. The NDB could
change this. As a bank created in, by and for the global South, the BRICS bank could be revolutionary. It
could, for example, provide critical development assistance to middle-income countries whose economic
status has prevented investment by traditional donors. Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and Egypt are reeling
from the knock-on effects of the war in Syria, now in its fifth year. They have taken in 98 per cent of the
refugees, with drastic repercussions for their own economies and societies. The war has already cost
Lebanon $20 billion — almost half its annual GDP — and Turkey $12.5 billion. But the World Bank, with four
times as many reserves as the NDB’s committed capital, considers these countries too rich to be assisted
with its more generous loans at lower or zero interest rates. The UN estimates that Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon,
Turkey and Egypt will collectively need $5.5 billion this year alone to fund their response to the Syria crisis.
So far, slightly more than one-fifth of that has been funded by the international community. This
abandonment perhaps gives rise to another acronym that we could employ to describe Syria’s neighbours:
the JILTEd. If the BRICS bank were operational today, it could fund a part of the regional plan and have plenty
left over. BRICS member states, despite their limited reserves, have already provided development
assistance to Syria. Brazil, for example, pledged $5 million at a recent international pledging conference on
the Syrian crisis. But what the NDB offers is a unique, collective initiative with the potential to both amplify
and institutionalise this assistance at the multilateral level. This is a great opportunity for BRICS countries to
step in where traditional donors will not or cannot, thereby demonstrating their collective leadership on
behalf of other emerging economies. Supporting the response in the Middle East would also be in line with
the policies espoused by individual BRICS governments, which acknowledge a correlation between
development and sustainable peace. Peace and stability in the region are global public goods. By supporting
development in Syria’s neighbours, the NDB could increase stability across the entire region and make peace
more likely. This would be in everyone’s interests. Further, BRICS member states are awash with
development expertise, especially relating to livelihood support, agriculture, water, sanitation and health. The
NDB could harness the wealth of experience of its members to help Syria’s neighbours cope by improving
their water, sanitation, hygiene, and electrical infrastructure. Syria and the crisis it has caused in the region is
the most pressing humanitarian disaster of our time. In this, the NDB has an opportunity to take the lead and
guide the international response, which has so far been woefully inadequate. And as an institution
dedicated to the public interest, it must ensure that its operations in the region are transparent. Strong
accountability mechanisms must also be put in place.

None of these.
22. Why author thinks that New Development Bank could be revolutionary?

assistance to the most marginalised.
