Brazil Staying the course
Article Abstract:
As the Brazilian government plans to raise US$20bn in 1999 from privatisation, two analysts discuss the history, present practices and forecasts of Brazil's privatization strategy. The analysts point out that Brazil's political climate may be too unstable for investors since the death of two leading members of President Cardoso's pro-reform team. Brazil's privatizations gained the country US$30.7bn in 1998, and its sale of telecommunications company Telebras this year was the largest private-sale privatization ever. In 1999, the government plans continued divesting of its remaining US $31.4bn worth of assets.

Market piques interest again; investment bankers cheer slated sovereign bond
Article Abstract:
Investment bankers are enthusiastic about the Malaysian government's plan to introduce a sovereign bond. Credit Suisse First Boston, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Salomon Smith Barney are among those eager to organize the bond deal. This is quite a contrast with the situation in 1998 when international bankers and investors ignored Malaysia. It is also expected that fixed-income investors will be interested in the Malaysian bond offering for lack of available Asian investment opportunities.
