HONG KONG – The Asian Development Bank cut its economic growth forecast for developing Asia on Wednesday, citing weakness in region’s two largest economies China and India and jitters over plans to scale back U.S. stimulus that destabilized financial markets.
The Manila-based lender said it expects the region’s emerging economies to grow by 6 per cent this year, down from 6.6 per cent predicted in April.

– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Interac says it is experiencing technical problems with its Interac e-Transfer service.
Interac spokeswoman Caroline Hubberstey says the problem is mainly affecting deposits, but a few financial institutions are having problems sending funds.
Hubberstey says most people are able to send an Interac e-Transfer but when the notification for deposit arrives at the receiver, the receiver may be unable to deposit the funds.
Hubberstey said Tuesday night that Interac was working to resolve the issue and hoped to have systems restored soon.
She says the service is affected across the country and the problem was first noticed on Tuesday morning.
She says all other Interac services — Interac Debit, Interac Cash and Interac Online — are operating normally.
