UNCTAD has also urged the implementation of State-led capital controls to curtail already surging capital outflows from these developing countries.

5 पजल: जवाब देकर जानें कितना जानते हैं आप
कोरोनावायरस के संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए पूरे देश में लॉकडाउन है। परीक्षाएं और क्लासों को भी स्थगित कर दिया है। खाली समय में कुछ लोग गेम खेलकर समय बिता रहे हैं तो कोई कुछ। अगर आप प्रतियोगी परीक्षा की तैयारी कर रहे हैं तो भी और नहीं कर रहे हैं तो भी इस समय में पजल को हल कर सकते हैं। ये पजल आपको बिजी रखने में काफी मदद करेंगे।कौन सी दिशा? उत्तर (ख) पश्चिम अगर किसी इंसान का दायां हाथ दक्षिण दिशा की ओर होता है तो उत्तर दिशा की ओर बायां हाथ होगा। उस स्थिति में उसका मुंह पूर्व दिशा की ओर होगा और पीठ पश्चिम दिशा की ओर।बताएं उस देश का नाम उत्तर (ख) I RILASE शब्द के अक्षरों को व्यवस्थित करने पर ISRAEL बनता है जो मध्य-पूर्व एशिया का एक देश है। ISRAEL के शुरू में I आता है। ऐसे में इस सवाल का सही जवाब (ख)I होगा। ISRAEL का भारत से अच्छा संबंध है। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने इस संबंध को और मजबूत किया है।करेंसी उत्तर (ग)लेबनान रिंग्गित मलेशिय की करेंसी है और लीरा वैसे तो तुर्की की मौजूदा करेंसी है और लेबनान एवं सीरिया की करेंसी का स्थानीय नाम है। चूंकि यहां पर तुर्की या सीरिया विकल्प के तौर पर नहीं दिया गया है तो जो संबंध रिंग्गित का मलेशिया से है, वहीं संबंध लीरा का लेबनान से होगा। 2002 से पहले तक इटली, मालटा, सैन मैरिनो और वेटिकन सिटी की करेंसी लीरा ही हुआ करती थी जिसे बाद में बदलकर यूरो किया गया। 1980 तक इजरायल की करेंसी भी लीरा हुआ करती थी जिसे 1980 में बदलकर शेकेल किया गया।कौन सी संख्या? उत्तर (क)23 गौर से देखने पर पाएंगे कि इसमें पिछली संख्या को 2 से गुणा करके 1 जोड़ने पर अगली संख्या बनी है। जैसे पहली संख्या 2 है जिसको 2 से गुणा करेंगे तो 4 और उसमें एक जुड़ा तो 5 हो गया जो दूसरी संख्या है। खाली जगह से पहले 11 है। 11 को 2 से गुणा करने और एक जोड़ने पर 23 आता है।
