| | Inflation bigger threat to Asean growth than US slump | | 2008-06-20 23:23:00 | | Central banks forced to change direction to combat it: Moody'sBusiness Times - 20 Jun 2008By CONRAD TAN(SINGAPORE) Soaring inflation and the response it triggers from central banks is a greater threat to economic growth in Asia than the downturn in the US, a senior spokesman for ratings agency Moody's said yesterday.Asian central banks that were previously easing monetary policy to help cushion their domestic economies from the impact of slowing growth in the US, Europe and Japan have now been forced to change direction because of a rapid increase in food and energy prices, said Thomas Byrne, a senior vice-president and regional credit officer for Moody's sovereign risk unit in Asia and the Middle East.'Inflation has become our foremost concern,' he said at a news briefing to present the Moody's outlook for South-east Asian banks and governments.

To raid the financial system of an economy, there is no meat if it is already in a bad shape (limited downside). Maybe China and India are too big for the predators to swallow (like elephants), but ASEAN is slowly emerging as the deers & buffaloes in the food chain.The Inevitable Collapse of PhilippinesThe media is exposing the rotten structure of the Philippines economy these days. In the past 10 weeks, Peso is down 10% against USD. No doubt soft commodities are getting expensive due to... | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
