India’s neighbouring country, Nepal has banned the use of Indian currency notes in the denomination of Rs 2,000, Rs 500, and Rs 200, media reports said on Friday (14).

The Nepal government has asked its citizens not to use the Indian currency notes higher than Rs 100 denomination as it not a legal tender in the country, The Kathmandu Post quoted Nepal’s minister for information and communications Gokul Prasad Baskota as saying.

The Indian government introduced new currency notes in the denomination of Rs 2,000, Rs 500 and Rs 200 after the demonetisation of currency notes in the denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 in 2016.

The Nepal government’s decision to ban Indian currency notes with higher denomination is expected to affect the Nepalese workers in India and Indians who visit Nepal.

For the past two years, the people in Nepal have been using the new currency notes introduced by the Indian government after demonetisation.

M&S profits tumble after £131 million hit from cyberattack and systems crisis

  • Marks & Spencer’s annual pre-tax profit dropped 28.8 per cent after last year’s cyberattack disrupted online orders and store operations.
  • The incident cost the retailer more than £131 million in recovery, advisory and risk management expenses.
  • M&S said profit growth is expected to resume in the current financial year despite inflationary pressures and Middle East delivery disruption.

British retailer Marks & Spencer saw annual profits fall sharply after a cyberattack last year forced it to suspend online clothing orders for weeks and disrupted food supplies across stores, adding another layer of pressure at a time when retailers are already grappling with rising operating costs.

The FTSE 100 retailer reported statutory pre-tax profit of £364.6 million for the year ended March, down 28.8 per cent from £511.8 million a year earlier. The company said the cyber incident alone resulted in £131.3 million in costs linked to system recovery, specialist advisory services and risk management.
