New power hub

Article Abstract:

The new power project on the banks of the River Hub in Pakistan employs a new financial arrangement scheme which could be implemented by projects in other developing countries in the future to solve infrastructure problems. The project involves the building of a power station by a group of private companies and then will charge the state utility for the supplied electricity for thirty years. Its novelty lies in its use of private sources of funds and its attempt to secure and repay foreign loans.

Convenience store for banks

Article Abstract:

The Japan Offshore Market (JOM) has developed without complete integration of fund management and private banking activities. The foreign currency assets of the JOM boomed in 1991 but has settled to around $620 billion at the end of 1992. On the other hand, its yen-dominated assets have increased from $273 billion at the end of 1990 to $391 billion by 1992. The JOM, however, may not be compared with the offshore banking market of London, UK, due to prohibitive banking and securities regulations.
