    • The need for a second round of ‘look east’ policies in south Asia

      Pradumna B. Rana, Chia Wai Mun, 1 April 2013The global economy was once dominated by north-north relations, with some limited concern for north-south relations.

    • Why Governor Romney’s Threat on the Chinese Currency Matters

      Maybe. Governor Romney has stated that he will declare China a currency manipulator on Day One, should he be elected President. In contrast to his other policy positions – from tax rates on the upper incomes, defense spending, coverage of pre-existing health conditions, the Blunt Amendment, Afghanistan timetable, first strike on Iran – he has exhibited remarkable (and pretty unique) constancy in his desire to call China a currency manipulator.

    • Misdiagnosing the Eurozone crisis: Perspectives from Asia

      Pradumna B. Rana, 22 September 2012The Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s shows what can happen when economists misdiagnose a crisis. This column argues the Eurozone crisis may have been made worse by over-simplifying it as a debt crisis. The author suggests that the large institutional changes now afoot – the shift from Eurozone I to Eurozone II – are finally addressing the root causes, but they may be too little too late.Full Article: Misdiagnosing the Eurozone crisis: Perspectives from Asia

    • Sterling powers to 7-1/2-year high on trade-weighted basis

      LONDON: Sterling powered to its strongest in 7-1/2 years against a trade-weighted basket of currencies on Tuesday, as better-than expected UK inflation data bolstered bets that the Bank of England will raise interest rates in the coming months. The numbers from the Office for National Statistics showed consumer prices rose 0.1 per cent in July, beating expectations that inflation would remain stuck at zero. Core inflation, which strips out food, energy, alcohol and tobacco prices, hit a five-month peak of 1.2 per cent, up from 0.8 per cent in June.
