Asia will benefit from a rebound in equity investment; alongside China, Korea and Thailand will see major inflows, IIF report forecasts

Article Abstract:

The Institute of International Finance has predicted an economic rebound of the Asian countries that have been affected by the currency devaluation crisis. Equity investment in five countries that include Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, in particular, will double that of 1998 figures and may hit the precrisis figures of 1996. The net inflow of the five worst-hit countries along with the emerging markets of India and China is also expected to double that of 1998 levels.

China tax reforms, curbs predicted to damp inflows

Article Abstract:

The large flow of foreign investment into China is expected to level off as the country has started to impose tax changes and implement investment selection procedures designed to prevent abusive practices. The country had received an unprecedented investment level of $37.5 billion in 1995, after which the investment figure would hover at a level below $30 billion. Another determinant to the deceleration of investment is the increasing cost of land and labor in the country.

Emerging markets in Asia face a drop in capital inflows

Article Abstract:

International investors have expressed high levels of confidence in Asian emerging markets despite claims that capital inflows in the region would be reduced by almost 25%. Statistics published by the IIE revealed that capital inflows will drop from a high of $141.8 billion to $107.1 billion in 1997 as a result of minimal growth in commercial bank lending. Analysts are also optimistic that Asia would be able to recover from these losses by 1998.
