  • Global IT spending continues to decline for 5th consecutive month

    Global IT spending continues to decline for 5th consecutive month

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The global IT spending will continue to slow down by 4.4 per cent to $3.25 trillion for the fifth consecutive month, as technology investments continue to show the impact of a weakening economy.

    In its new monthly forecast for worldwide IT spending growth, IDC projected overall growth this year slightly down from 4.5 per cent in the earlier forecast and represents a swing from a 6 per cent growth forecast in October 2022.

    “Since the fourth quarter of last year, we have seen clear and measurable signs of a moderate pullback in some areas of IT spending,” said Stephen Minton, vice president in IDC’s Data and Analytics research group.

    Tech spending remains resilient compared to historical economic downturns and other types of business spending, but rising interest rates are now impacting capital spending, he added.

    After reductions to PC forecasts a month ago, IDC has now scaled back its expectations for some additional hardware categories including servers, wearable devices, and peripherals.

    Forecasts have been reduced for on-premise infrastructure investments by enterprise buyers, while cloud and service provider deployments remain more resilient overall.

    Service provider spending is still weakening from last year’s highs as the industry adjusts to slower post-Covid growth, but planned investments by cloud and hyperscale providers have broadly held up since last month.

    Strong demand for cloud services continues to drive growth despite inflationary pressures but non-cloud spending is set to decline, the report mentioned.

    “The most significant impact remains concentrated in consumer markets with consumer IT spending now forecast to decline by 2 per cent this year,” said Minton.

    This will be a second consecutive year of declining consumer tech spending, a huge change in fortunes from consumer growth of 18 per cent in 2021.

    “On the other hand, enterprise demand for cloud and digital transformation remains strong despite economic headwinds,” he added.

    Cloud infrastructure, software, and services are growing more slowly than a year ago but continue to account for a larger share of total IT spending.

  • Modi to become PM for 3rd consecutive term in 2024, says Amit Shah

    Modi to become PM for 3rd consecutive term in 2024, says Amit Shah

    [ad_1]

    Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the BJP-led NDA will form government again in 2024 and Narendra Modi will become prime minister for a third consecutive term.

    Participating the “India Today Conclave” here, Shah also said ever since the Modi government came to power, issues related to three hotspots — Jammu and Kashmir, the Northeast and Naxal — were by and large resolved.

    Since a surgical strike was carried out against terrorists inside Pakistan, no foreign power dared to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, the home minister said.

    “People will decide who will be the next prime minister of the country. I have visited every part of the country and have realised that again the BJP will form the government and Modi will become the prime minister for a third consecutive term,” he said.

    Shah said since the 1970s, this would be for the first time that a prime minister will get the people’s mandate for the third consecutive term.

    Asked about the number of seats the NDA will get in the 2024 general elections, the minister said it would be more than 2019. “We (the BJP) will get more than 303 seats,” he said.

    The BJP got 303 seats in the 2019 general elections and the NDA got over 350 seats out of the total 543 Lok Sabha constituencies.

    Shah said when the Modi government came to power for the first time in 2014, 60 crore people had no bank accounts, 10 crore people had no access to toilets and three crore people had no electricity connections.

    The Modi government has given all of them access to banks, toilets, free food, electricity and gas connections, he said.

    Not only that, externally, if there is a problem in the world, other leaders look towards Modi and what he thinks and what he believes, Shah said.

    He said the COVID-19 pandemic was handled very efficiently by the Modi government and it successfully inoculated all citizens of the country.

    Asked about his role as Union home minister, Shah said he was satisfied that problems in three hotspots — Jammu and Kashmir, the Northeast and Naxal were by and large resolved.

    There is 70 per cent drop in violence in Jammu and Kashmir, 60 per cent less violence in Naxal-affected areas, and many insurgents have surrendered and peace agreements signed in the Northeast, he said.

    Besides these, Shah said, under the Modi government, Article 370 was scrapped, Ram temple is being built and issues related to the Triple Talaq resolved.

    Asked when elections could be held in Jammu and Kashmir, the home minister said the Election Commission (EC) will decide about it when it gets ready to conduct the polls.

    “When the EC will seek a report from the home ministry, we will provide it immediately,” he said. PTI ACB
