Infosys CEO Signals M&A Ramp-Up as Economic Outlook Brightens
(Bloomberg) -- Infosys Ltd. is preparing to accelerate its pace of acquisitions, taking advantage of more sensible valuations and a return of IT spending when economies stabilize.

Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh said he’s been meeting with clients in Davos and many of them have expressed optimism about the year ahead. He said many would continue to move toward cloud adoption and automation despite persistent uncertainty about the outlook for 2023.
“We are very much looking at what we can do to acquire much more actively. Valuations are in a range that make more sense,” Parekh told Bloomberg News in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “In meetings I’ve had with clients here all through the week, the general sense I’ve got is people are quite positive about what’s coming ahead. It’s not all of them, but certainty the vast majority.”
Infosys last week raised its sales forecast for the year to March, remaining upbeat on large clients’ need to automate their systems and cut costs even as it warned of pockets of uncertainty because of a global economic downturn. But growth in India’s $227 billion outsourcing industry is now cooling as employees return to the office and global recession fears increase.
Parekh, however, said Infosys remained in a good position.
“The pipeline of large deals looks strong today, stronger than we had even 12 months ago,” he said.

ReutersLittle room for gloom at Dublin's Davos for aircraft financiers
While the prospect of global recession casts a long shadow over the snowy peaks of Davos this week, the mood was mostly sunnier at another gathering of executives - the owners of most of the world's planes - 1,700 kilometres away in Dublin. The world's top aircraft lessors - a bellwether for the wider economy - lined up to predict a bumper 2023, buoyed by China's earlier than expected lifting of travel curbs and a belief consumers would continue to prioritise travel amid a cost of living crunch. "We are bullish and these are the reasons why I suspect there's a disconnect between the Davos in Switzerland and the Davos in Dublin," Cronin told Reuters.

Shares of Tencent, the world's largest gaming company, and NetEase rose this week after China's video games regulator granted the first gaming licences in 2023, the latest sign that the clampdown is ending.

ReutersBOJ may have crafted new tool for post-YCC era - analyst
A new monetary tool introduced by the Bank of Japan to keep long-term interest rates from rising could ultimately become a new policy target once the bank abandons its yield control, a former central bank official told Reuters. The BOJ maintained ultra-low interest rates on Wednesday, including a 0.5% yield cap, but crafted a new policy tool to defend the ceiling and keep yields across the curve from rising too much - without having to ramp up its bond purchases. Specifically, the BOJ amended rules for an existing market operation tool, so it can pump funds extending up to 10 years in variable rates to financial institutions against collateral.
