Article Abstract:
Excess capacity could create severe economic problems in Asia, according to William Kaye, managing partner at Asia Hedge Fund. It is vital that the cost of capital is kept high, thus allowing excess supply to leave the system. Asian governments will develop the right economic policies eventually, according to Bill Barron, director at Invesco Asia. However, it will be necessary to address vested interests. Markets are not very deep in Asia, so the situation can look serious very quickly, according to Income Partners Asset Management Executive Director Francis Tijia.

Article Abstract:
The short-term indicators for macroeconomic activity in Asia are quite negative, according to Ray Hood, Asian Direct Capital Management Managing Director. However, these indicators may bring about changes in Asian companies which will have long-term benefits. The most significant question for Asia is the Japanese economy, according to Elizabeth Tran, American Express Asset Management Chief Investment Director. Intervention in the currency markets will not be effective without wide-reaching domestic initiatives in Japan.

Article Abstract:
A discussion on profitable investment in 1993 concluded that Asian markets will offer higher profits as long as stocks are selected carefully. Blue chip stocks are available in Japan and South Korea. Taiwanese, South Korean and Hong Kong exports to China are expected to grow, as are Japanese and Malaysian exports to other countries. Thai and Indonesian economies are improving as interest rates are decreasing. Singapore and Philippines should list their equities on the market to invite investment.
