WEF Collaboration Key to Economic Future of South Caucasus and Central Asia

September 10, 2014--Greater cross-border collaboration in terms of economic policy-making could bring significant benefits to economies in the South Caucasus and Central Asia region as they aim to build resilience and take advantage of growth opportunities in the changing global economy, according to the findings of a new report, Scenarios for the South Caucasus and Central Asia, launched today.

According to the report, trends such as the emergence of mega-regional trade agreements, the rise in South-South trade and increasing environmental awareness all pose critical questions to the region’s decision-makers. However, these same shifting dynamics also present the region with an opportunity to create a new identity and play an enhanced role in the global economy.

World Bank Expects Slower Growth in Developing East Asia Pacific in 2014

Forecast Shows Region to Grow Nearly 7% This Year and Next
October 6, 2014-Developing countries in East Asia Pacific will see slightly slower economic growth this year, but the pace of growth in the region, excluding China, will pick up next year, as the gradual recovery in high-income economies boosts demand for exports from the region, according to the East Asia Pacific Economic Update released today by the World Bank. Still, developing East Asia Pacific remains the fastest-growing region in the world.

Developing East Asia will grow by 6.9% this year and next, down from 7.2% in 2013, the report says. In China, growth will ease slightly to 7.4% this year and 7.2% in 2015, as the government seeks to put the economy on a more sustainable path with policies addressing financial vulnerabilities and structural constraints. Excluding China, growth in developing countries in the region is expected to bottom out at 4.8% this year, before rising to 5.3% in 2015, as exports rise and domestic economic reforms advance in the large Southeast Asian economies.

Led by India, South Asia Economic Growth to Accelerate, World Bank

October 6. 2014--Economic growth in South Asia is forecast to accelerate to 2016 led by an increase in activity in India, the biggest economy in a region that has the world's largest concentration of poor people, a World Bank report said.

In the twice-a-year South Asia Economic Focus, the World Bank said the region's economy will expand by a real 6 percent in 2015 and by 6.4 percent in 2016 compared to 5.4 percent this year, potentially making it the second fastest growing region in the world after East Asia and the Pacific. The Indian economy, 80 percent of the region’s output, is set to grow by 6.4 percent in fiscal year (FY) 2015/16 after 5.6 percent in FY2014/15. Other countries in the region are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

China's long term gold plans

China is far more adept than the capitalist West in looking to the long term and nowhere is this more apparent in its attitude towards gold.
September 19, 2014--The launch of Shanghai Gold Exchange trading yuan denominated contracts in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Thursday, which has enabled foreign investors to invest in China's physical gold bullion market, is yet another one of China's overt moves to dominate the global gold sector long term.

It may make a slow start but aims to become the world’s biggest physical gold exchange and is thus is in itself a move towards reducing the influence of COMEX and the LBMA on global gold trade and pricing and move the centre of gravity for this eastwards. Similar moves to set up new international gold contracts in Singapore and Hong Kong will further accelerate the move in gold trade to east Asia.

Deutsche Bank dour over gold investment in India

A shift away from physical to financial savings through bank deposits, mutual funds and insurance is gathering steam says Deutsche Bank.

September 19, 2014--The going is good for India. With crude prices retreating to 17 months low of 97 per barrel from $105 per barrel in mid June, and coal prices falling to 5 year lows, and gold prices having stuck to a seven and a half month low, the Indian economy seems poised for multi layered benefits,

Deutsche Bank has said in a report.

India's vicious economic cycle, between 2010-2013 of slowing growth, elevated twin deficits and a skewed savings profile was amplified by surging global oil and gold prices, both of which are now in retreat, the report added.
