Jakarta - The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would like Indonesia to remain a member, the president of the oil cartel said Tuesday on a visit to the country that has become an oil importer.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced in May that his country was considering quitting OPEC because its interests have come into conflict with the cartel's policies since it began importing oil in 2003.

Vienna - The price for crude

The Reserve bank of India is expected to announce new monetary policy on Thursday. It can take various fiscal measures to curb inflation rate. Though international prices of crude oil are decreasing, the rate of inflation is not showing positive signs. The inflation rate in India is 11.89 percent at present, which is far away from the RBI’s forecast of 5-5.5 percent by the end of the year.

In an attempt to help the credit card holders, Reserve Bank has made it clear that the banks will have to pay a penalty for harassing customers over misuse of unsolicited cards.    

The banking regulator in its latest stringent guidelines has said if a customer is billed for unsolicited card, which is issued and activated without his consent, the card issuing bank shall not only reverse the charges forthwith (on misuse of unsolicited cards) but also pay a penalty without demur to the recipient amounting to twice the value of charges reversed.
