about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Asian Central Banks Consider Alternatives to Big Dollar Holdings By Phillip Day and Hae Won Choi Wall Street Journal February 5, 2004 A number of Asian central banks, among the biggest investors in U.S. government debt, are looking at alternative targets for their vast dollar holdings. South Korea, looking for better returns, plans to hand over as much as $20 billion of its foreign-exchange reserves, which total the equivalent of $157 billion, to private fund managers next year. Taiwan wants to put some of its $200 billion of reserves toward helping local companies and diversifying the economy. Thailand will use $7 billion of reserves to pay off the foreign debts of its government agencies and state enterprises. It isn't clear that Asian central banks will necessarily fund these plans by switching out of holdings of U.S. government debt. Asia's bigger central banks have estimated holdings totaling nearly $1 trillion of U.S. government bonds, including Treasurys, privately held government bonds and debt of government-sponsored agencies, such as mortgage buyer Fannie Mae. Inflows from Asia into this U.S. debt have provided vital support for the U.S. financial system. They have helped to finance the budget deficit and made it easier for the Federal Reserve to boost the economy by holding down interest rates. Foreign buying of debt is "critical it's probably the biggest driver" of the Treasury market recently, says Michael Ryan, a strategist with UBS in New York. The percentage of U.S. government debt owned by foreigners stood at 37.3% last year, compared with 33.9% in 2002 and less than 4.7% in 1965. Foreign central banks hold more than $800 billion in Treasurys $1 of every $5 the U.S. government owes.

General Essay on South East Asian Religions Introduction As explained in the SHINTO section, no clear division in real life can be made between 'Buddhism' and 'Shinto' in Japan. The people who attend Shinto shrines are largely the same people who attend Buddhist temples or take part in new religious movements. This section deals with the historical development of Buddhism and some contemporary 'new religious movements' in Japan, and should be read in conjunction with the SHINTO section. Buddhism was formally introduced into Japan some time during the sixth century, though there were undoubtedly influential Korean Buddhists living in Japan before this time. The early forms of Japanese Buddhism originated directly from a Chinese 'parent' school or sect. More information about their doctrines and history outside Japan can be gained by consulting the CHINESE BUDDHISM or INDIAN BUDDHISM sections. Japanese recorded history properly begins with the Nara period (710-794). The unitary Japanese state as we know it emerged from regional tribalism as a result of Chinese and Korean influence in many areas of life and a capital city on the Chinese model was established at Nara in central Japan. Chinese influences included theories and systems of government, language and a writing system, art, medicine, agriculture, technology and religion. Buddhism in early Japan (NARA BUDDHISM) was understood on the Chinese/Korean model in terms of its relationship to the imperial institution. Simply put, the Buddha was seen as the divine protector of the state. In return, the government performed rites honouring the Buddhas and promulgated Buddhist teachings by setting up monasteries and temples throughout Japan, copying sutras and erecting statues of the Buddha such as the Nara Daibutsu at the Todaiji temple.

Advertising Working with Asian Clients By Victoria Tran Attorney Characteristics Some Asian clients also believe that non-Asian attorneys are inherently better attorneys because they do not speak with an accent, as do many Asian attorneys. Other Asian clients are more comfortable with attorneys of their nationality. The Asian market can accommodate both non-Asian and Asian attorneys. Practice Areas Marketing Strategies Further, call a few of the lawyers who already advertise in the magazine/newspaper, introduce yourself, and ask about their experience with advertising benefits. While on the phone, ask them to refer clients to you in the event conflicts of interest arise. In preparing this article I spoke with six sole practitioners and attorneys from small firms serving a large proportion of Asian clients of different ethnicities, and each attorney was eager to share marketing strategies with other attorneys. Many attorneys marketing to the Asian community advertise in more than one medium. Another marketing tool is to join ethnic bar associations to network with attorneys who also serve the target community. These attorneys are a good source of referrals when they have conflicts of interest or when the matter is outside of their practice area.

IIAS IIAS Newsletter Online No. 20 Theme Wildlife The Asian Financial Crisis and the Wildlife Trade The sale of forest products, especially wild animals and plants, has been the traditional means by which marginal rural groups could generate cash. More recently, it has provided a way to participate in the global market economy. Having struggled for many years to survive, these rural dwellers are eager to catch up and partake of the prosperity they see via satellite television. With few economic alternatives, they view the forest, and all the animals and plants therein, as the key to prosperity. By DEANNA DONOVAN In addition to being an important market, China is also a major processor of wild products. According to official statistics the United States, the European Union, and Japan account for 60 percent by value of wildlife imports world-wide. Total US imports of medicinal and culinary plant products recorded in 1995 amounted to 12.5 tons valued at US$42 million. China was the main source of those products. Desperate suppliers The need for cash continues to grow. Governments reeling from the financial crisis and trying to conform to the demands of the IMF have cut social services. Prices of imports have shot up and local prices have risen on their coattails. With limited options, people increasingly look to forest product sales to generate cash, and the result is a growing threat to the ecosystem.

Asian Financial Crisis and Market Prospects of the Financial Sector by Services 2000 Research Team City University of Hong Kong Positive Effects of the Asian Financial Crisis Business Opportunities from the WTO Financial Services Agreement Many Asian governments lack the experience of managing prudent and innovative institutions. The mountain of bad debts waiting to be restructured poses another hurdle in the rehabilitation process. Opening the financial sector to foreign participation seems to be an essential step as liquidity has practically dried up in some of the economies still haunted by the crisis. Reforms of the financial sector are already under way in most economies. Although the WTO failed to reach a compromise in the 1993 and 1995 negotiations, WTO members successfully concluded a financial services agreement under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) in December 1997. The financial crisis speeded up the commitments on trade liberalization even further. For example, Korea is moving beyond the commitments it made in the 1997 Agreement.

At the very outset, I would like to thank the organizers for inviting the Asian Development Bank to address this important gathering. Ladies and gentlemen. The millennium is almost coming to an end. In the next two and a half years, we will be embarking on the 21st century. In this context, the Asian Development Bank has recently completed a major study which looks at the future of Asia over the next thirty years. The study examines economic growth, demographic change, quality of life, and environment in Asia. Today, I would like to focus mainly on providing the salient points of our findings on environment. Asia's record in environment is dismal. During the past 30 years, Asia has lost half of its forest cover. A third of its agricultural land has been degraded. Fish stocks have fallen by 50 percent. Of the world's 15 most polluted cities, 13 are in Asia, and Asian rivers contain three to four times the level of pollutants than the world average. At least one in three Asians still has no access to safe drinking water, and one in two has no access to sanitation services.
