Eastern promise
Article Abstract:
Asian economies are expected to grow rapidly in 2nd half 1999, and this recovery is attracting interest from investors. Domestic liquidity improved from mid 1998 and interest rates had dropped by year-end 1998, helped by high savings rates and low loan demand. There are differences between the Japanese economy and other economies in Asia, partly due to the aging population saving for retirement in Japan. Low interest rates have had a more beneficial effect outside Japan.

Stabilising
Article Abstract:
The Asian financial crisis is not likely to seriously affect India or China, and the impact on global growth is offset by forecast increases in domestic demand in the European Union and US, according to Goldman Sachs. Real growth of gross domestic product (GDP) in Asia excluding Japan will be some 4% for 1998 and 5% for 1999. Japanese growth is likely to be low, but could be boosted by a fiscal stimulus which could mean GDP growth of between 1% and 1.5% for 1998.
