Is China ready to give up its illusions...

Article Abstract:

Efforts by the Chinese government to reform the financial services sector have created adverse effects on its economy, triggering a sharp decline in consumer prices. Instead of improving the efficiency of state-owned enterprises, government officials have solely focused on reducing financial losses. Such an approach did not only create deflationary pressures, but also undermine the growth of companies. Price control policies have even made conditions in China worse, compelling manufacturers to market their products below the production cost.

Creditors wary of proposal: negotiations snag on foreign-debt plan

Article Abstract:

Indonesia's financial reform proposals have failed to impress its creditors and observers and the rift between Indonesia and its creditors have resisted efforts of being narrowed. University of Melbourne Law Center associate director Veronica Taylor criticizes the Jakarta Initiative as 'quick fixes being grafted into an institution that is dysfunctional.' Richard Gitlin of Hebb and Gitlin meanwhile interprets the initiative as merely suggesting procedures for negotiations between creditors and banks.
