Under the current economic situation, what major significance does the VAT transformation reform have in sustaining the steady and relatively fast development of our country’s economy?

January 15th, 2009

The VAT transformation reform allows the input credit for the purchase of capital equipment to be offset against the output VAT. That will eliminate the double taxation resulting from the adoption of the production-type VAT system, reduce the
tax burden for investment in capital equipment, and a major tax cutting policy without introducing a change in the urrent tax rates. Since it can avoid double tax in the purchase of capital equipment, it will encourage investment, increase the demand in the domestic market, promote technological advancement, adjust the industry structure and the transformation pattern of the economic growth. Currently, the financial tsunami triggered by the sub-prime mortgage crisis has spread to Europe,Asia, and Latin America. Global economic growth rate has obviously been slowed down. Some countries have shown signs of economic recession. The financial crises have adverse impact on the real economy.

we see this as an opportunity to adjust exposure for the medium term as we remain cautious on fixed income

January 1st, 2009

    US Treasuries closed higher in February on renewed economic concerns, which centred on the housing market as mortgage defaults rose sharply. Weaker than expected data also added to the upward pressure on prices and pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury down to 4.56%. The German bund closed the month with a modest gain on market expectations that a weaker US economy would impact global growth, which in turn would slow the pace of interest rate increases from the European Central Bank

A confluence of macro factors and events succeeded in taking the Asia ex Japan equity markets sharply lower

January 1st, 2009

A confluence of macro factors and events succeeded in taking the Asia ex Japan equity markets sharply lower. They included the following:
• Weak US durable goods orders and renewed concerns about the outlook for US growth
• Correction in the Chinese domestic equity market, and a tightening by the People’s Bank of China ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday (hiking of required reserve ratio for banks)
• Yen strength on the back of the BoJ’s interest rate rise, which created fears that the Yen carry trade (and source of global liquidity) was about to unwind.
• Sub-prime mortgage lending would spread to a housing collapse in the US. Further de-leveraging and tighter lending standards would lead to wider credit spreads

Japanese equities could outperform this year

January 1st, 2009

   The much anticipated decision from the Bank of Japan, which increased interest rates rise from 0.25% to 0.5%, saw Japanese equities move sharply higher for most of the month as investors considered the move a vote of confidence from the central bank in Japan’s economy. The decision followed news that annualised fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product hit 4.8% against a forecast of 3.8%. Corporate results were also positive during the month, as retailers gained on hopes that a stronger economy would boost consumer spending. Over the month, the Topix index rose 1.8%, although much of the earlier positive performance was wiped out at the end of the month by the concerns centring on other Asian equity markets.
