MIT-WPU School of Economics and Commerce launches B.Com Financial Analysis Program
The MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) has launched its new B.Com Financial Analysis program, with the CFA Institute delegation in attendance. The ceremony highlighted collaborative plans to integrate financial curriculum into the university's academic programs. This aims to equip students with the skills required for successful careers in the global finance sector.
Under the newly launched B.Com Financial Analysis program, MIT-WPU will offer on-campus training for the CFA Level I and II examinations, integrating them directly into the curriculum. In the first year, students will also have the opportunity to pursue the Investment Foundations Certificate from CFA Institute. This certificate will provide them with an understanding of the investment industry, including its structure, core concepts, and ethical considerations.
Dr. R. M. Chitnis, Vice Chancellor, MIT-WPU, said, 'CA, CS, and CMA are professional courses in India, focused on auditing, taxation, and legal compliance, authorised under Acts of Parliament. In contrast, the CFA is a global qualification that supports companies in finance and investment banking, representing a distinct domain. Students who pursue these professional degrees alongside the CFA qualification will gain a significant competitive advantage in the fast-evolving world of finance.'
Dr. Anjali Sane, Dean of the School of Economics and Commerce at MIT-WPU, said, ' With the launch of the B.Com Financial Analysis program, we had the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions on emerging trends in the investment industry. Our focus has been on building a curriculum that meets global industry standards and empowers students with the skills needed to thrive in the world of finance.'

Turkey hoping to hold 5G tender in August, minister says
By Can Sezer ISTANBUL: Turkey's transport and infrastructure minister said the country was hoping to hold a tender for 5G network services in August, adding that the mobile communication service was expected to start next year. "I think we will hold this tender in August if there are no issues," Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu told reporters in Istanbul during a briefing. "Instead of covering the entire country in the first stage, I think we will cover the densely populated provinces (first) and roll out this process gradually within the framework of the programme, this was the case in 4. 5G as well," he added. Asked about the impact on aviation of the Iran-Israel conflict, Uraloglu said Turkish airline companies had seven civilian aircraft stranded in Iran currently and four others in Iraq due to the closure of airspace in the region. "We are following this up through our foreign ministry and MIT (intelligence agency). Given that air traffic is very intense in this region, neither us nor the relevant countries could take that risk," Uraloglu said. "At the first opportunity we will bring them back," he added, referring to the planes, which he said belonged to Turkish Airlines, its subsidiary AJet, Pegasus Airlines and Tailwind Airlines.

Ivory Coast Sees Oil Output Increasing More Than Fivefold by 2035
(Bloomberg) -- Ivory Coast expects its oil output to increase more than fivefold in the next decade, boosted by recent discoveries and the start of production at two offshore fields. 'By 2035, crude-oil production is expected to reach at least 500,000 barrels per day, placing our country among the top five oil-producing countries on the continent,' Minister of Petroleum, Energy and Mines Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly said. 'Natural gas will account for 1 million cubic feet per day.' The world's leading cocoa producer aims to position itself as a major regional oil-and gas-player and energy hub, the minister said at the inauguration of a new wharf owned by state petroleum company Petroci, in Abidjan, the commercial capital. Increased production will straddle a period of surging oil prices after Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran, which retaliated with waves of ballistic missiles and drones, raising fears of a wider regional conflict and disruptions to flows of the fuel. Eni SpA has made significant offshore hydrocarbon discoveries at Baleine and Calao. Ivory Coast is in talks with Eni over a new oil-exploration block after the Italian major in December started a second phase at Baleine aimed at increasing output to 60,000 barrels a day. A third phase will more than double production to 150,000 barrels a day. Houston-based Vaalco Energy Inc. and Brazil's Petrobas are in talks with Petroci to invest in as many as 10 offshore oil blocks. The nation expects more than $16 billion of investments in its oil sector by 2030, including infrastructure such as pipelines, tankers and railways, Sangafowa-Coulibaly said. Washington-based Yaatra Ventures recently reached an agreement with state-owned Société Ivoirienne de Raffinage to build the country's second petroleum refinery, with a potential investment of 3 trillion CFA francs ($5.3 billion).
