IMF-Rebalancing China: International Lessons in Corporate Debt

June 12, 2016--June 12, 2016--China's Debt Problem
To get a handle on the issue, let's take a closer look at China's debt profile. Overall, total debt is equal to about 225 percent of GDP. Of that, government debt represents about 40 percent of GDP.

Meanwhile, households are about 40 percent. Both are not particularly high by international standards.

June 8, 2016--To describe the rapid rise of East Asia's influence would, at this point, be a cliché. But the speed of this well-documented rise has not just created opportunities; it has created risks.

IMF-Thailand : Selected Issues

June 8, 2016--SPILLOVERS FROM CHINA TO THAILAND AND OTHER ASEAN-5 COUNTRIES 1
The Chinese economy is transitioning to a new model, with slower growth and rebalancing in its drivers. Thailand is exposed to the slowdown, as China is one of Thailand's main trading partners.

Model estimates suggest that a one percent decline in China's GDP lowers Thailand's output by about 0.2 percent. The impact may be larger if China's transition triggers financial market volatility. On the other hand, rebalancing from investment -to consumption-led growth in China is likely to be broadly neutral for Thailand, while the rapid growth in Chinese tourism has benefited Thailand
