The rough with the smooth

With the nature of what I do, extensive travel of the region is a must and a passion. Since the start of 2013 my time has been broadly divided between Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Indonesia amongst others, also taking in several countries in Europe and a rare Chinese New Year in the UK. My most recent trip led me to reflect on three topics that are permeating investor thinking, both in Asia and globally.

Is Asia Heading for a Debt Crisis?

Of the many reasons why Asia (outside of Japan) weathered the Great Recession more ably than other parts of the world, one of the most important was the fact that the region never experienced a financial crisis. The banks of Asia generally avoided indulging in the toxic sub-prime securities that tanked some of Wall Street’s most famous institutions. Part of the reason was they could earn real returns in their core business – lending to expanding companies in their high-growth home economies.

Government officials in Asia, as well, tend to take an old-fashioned attitude on budget spending and borrowing (again, outside of Japan), and they, unlike their counterparts in Europe, were able to stimulate their economies without undercutting their solvency.

It’s the kind of market cooperation/collusion that has driven Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson up the wall for decades. But it’s also the driver behind’s Delta’s $360 million deal to acquire the 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic currently held by Singapore Airlines. Branson, the prankster-in-chief at Virgin Atlantic and myriad other businesses, has railed against BA and American in particular for trying to control competition on the valuable New York-Heathrow route, ...
