The dodgy bet on austerity

Britain, and the world, cannot afford not to have another stimulus

Joseph Stiglitz

Austerity converts downturns into recessions, recessions into depressions.

The confidence fairy that the austerity advocates claim will appear never does, partly perhaps because the downturns mean that the deficit reductions are always smaller than was hoped.

Temasek divests Hana stake

SINGAPORE

Temasek had held a 9.6-per-cent share in Hana since 2004 through its wholly-owned subsidiary Angelica Investments. Hana is South Korea’s fourth-largest financial holding firm by assets.

In a statement to MediaCorp yesterday, Temasek said that “as an active investor, Temasek regularly reviews its portfolio and remains open to maintaining, increasing or reducing its holdings, depending on opportunities and market conditions”.

Temasek is estimated to have raised more than US$600 million ($778 million) from the Hana stake sale. According to wire reports, the Hana shares were sold at 33,400 won ($38.40) each, a 6-per-cent discount from Wednesday’s closing price Analysts said news of the stake sale weighed on Hana’s shares, causing them to decline 7.3 per cent to 32,950 won.

The divestment of Hana came a day after Temasek announced its investment of US$400 million in a Brazilian oil and gas firm. — Investment firm Temasek Holdings has confirmed it has sold its entire stake in South Korea’s Hana Financial Group.Ryan Huang

One of the three will be Singapore’s representative at the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur of the Year awards to be held in Monte Carlo next year. He or she will be announced at the Ernst & Young Awards Gala here on Dec 2.

E&Y said an independent judging panel selected the winners from a pool of over 50 nominations based on their merits in fulfilling six criteria.

These include entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, personal integrity and influence, financial performance, strategic direction and global impact.

Country managing partner at Ernst & Young, Mr Steven Phan, says the three winners are exceptional first-generation entrepreneurs who have created compelling business propositions in very niche areas.

Large capital inflows a risk

Rachel Kelly

rachel@mediacorp.com.sg

SINGAPORE — Too much of foreign capital is too much of a good thing. The World Bank says a risk to economies in East Asia is the return of large capital inflows, which are driving up prices and causing inflationary pressure.

Inflation in China — Asia’s largest economy and the world’s second biggest — accelerated to the fastest pace in almost two years in September, according to data out yesterday. September’s inflation rate was 3.6 per cent over a year earlier, compared to August’s 3.5 per cent and well above the 3 per cent official target.

Helping drive overall prices higher was a 6.1 per cent jump in food costs due to shortages of vegetables and other items.

China — the world’s fastest growing major economy – is sucking foreign capital in billions of dollars at a go. And too much money — together with the domestic stimulus — is fuelling a property bubble which has prompted the Chinese authorities to take steps to prevent overheating.

World Bank’s chief economist for East Asia & the Pacific, Mr Vikram Nehru, said:

“In China the authorities have used a variety of measures to try and curb credit growth. The bulk of those measures have been through administrative means, specific targets and so forth for banks.”

“So this is part of a more concertive action by the Chinese to take some of the froth off the real estate sector and try to stabilise asset prices.”

Other countries in East Asia are also grappling with large and rapid inflows of foreign capital and are adopting different strategies to deal with the challenge.

Mr Nehru said that some of these countries were “simply allowing their currencies to appreciate and that is one way to try and absorb the inflationary pressures that might be coming through these capital inflows”.

He added that some countries had been intervening in foreign exchange markets to try and reduce the volatility of these inflows or were keeping a close eye to see what was happening in the banking systems.
