Analysts feel the heat

Article Abstract:

Asian countries and central banks have increasingly been putting pressure on analysts from investment banks and brokerage firms not to present negative information. In some Asian countries, a negative report can mean loss of access to officials. One bank was dropped from the management team on a bond offering. Veiled threats of retaliation by means of tightened enforcement of local rules and regulations have also been made.
