Economy to slow in2005Taiwan’s economy is forecast to slow in 2005, despite strong growth in thefirst three quarters of 2004. BMI View: The forecast is based on theassumption that export growth will slow, the oil price will remain high, andmonetary policy will continue to tighten.

TAIWAN’S ECONOMY expanded by5.3% year-on-year (y-o-y) in the thirdquarter of 2004. This brought the aver-age growth rate for the first nine monthsof the year to 6.6%, after growth of6.7% in the first quarter and 7.9% in the

second. The growth rate was broadly inline with expectations, and, as a result,BMI’s full-year growth forecast re-mains on 6.0%. Growth is, however,set to fall in 2005 to 4.7%, due to slower

CHINA IS COMING under increasingpressure to allow its exchange rate toappreciate. The pressure reached re-newed urgency after the US dollar fellto a new all-time low against the euro ofUS$1.33/EUR on November 26. Coun-tries of the eurozone, which have so farborne the brunt of the dollar’s fall, arekeen for the burden of this readjust-ment to be shared through Asian coun-tries allowing their currencies to appre-ciate.

To some extent this is already hap-pening, and a number of Asian coun-tries have allowed their currencies torise against the dollar since September,with the Japanese yen, the Taiwan dol-

lar, and the South Korean won all ap-preciating by at least 5%. However,while this appreciation is not insignifi-cant, it is nothing compared with the50% appreciation that the euro has ex-perienced since 2002.

It appears therefore that Asian cur-rencies have further to rise against thedollar, if they are to play their full partin the global readjustment. However,any appreciation is likely to remainmodest until China decides to loosenits own peg against the dollar, whichhas remained at CNY8.3/US$ since1994. The Chinese government itselfhas now said that it will move to a more

China to resist YuanpressureThe Chinese are being put under increasing pressure to allow theircurrency to appreciate against the US dollar. BMI View: While somechange in the exchange rate regime is likely, any change when it doescome, will be marginal, and probably involve switching the dollar peg to abasket of currencies.

South Korea – Nuclear Tests Affect TalksThe IAEA has decided not to refer Seoul’s atomic experimentsto the UN Security Council, welcoming the corrective measurestaken, but a delegation from the UN agency intends to carry outmore inspections in December. BMI View: There is concernthat South Korea’s admission of clandestine tests may underminenuclear talks with North Korea, giving Pyongyang a chance todeflect criticism from its own nuclear activities.

The OPEC basket has averaged around US$36/b so far in 2004,although prices have fallen markedly from a high of overUS$47/b in October. Consequently, the upside risks to our year-average forecast of US$35/b are relatively minor. Assumingcurrent stock building trends, prices should continue to moder-ate in Q4, although high demand in the northern hemispherewinter, alongside solid demand growth from emerging marketsover the next year, will underpin prices. Consequently, our2005 forecast of US$31/b looks relatively sound for now.

Sinai shock should beshort-livedThe government expects tourist receipts will fall US$200mn below targetin 2004, due to the impact of the Taba bombings. BMI View: As a result,we have cut 0.2 percentage points from our forecast for growth in FY04/05, but the stimulus of economic reforms will boost growth in FY05/06.

SECURITY CONCERNS pose somedownside risk to economic activity,following the triple bombing in theSinai in October. Although this willcause a dip in the key tourism sector in2005, the government’s ongoing pro-

gramme of economic reform presentsmajor upside risks to growth across allsectors.

Overall, officials say the economicimpact of the bombings will be limited,

THE EU COMMISSION’S positivereport on Turkey’s application for ac-cession in October should set the stagefor the Council of Ministers to agree astart date in December. The govern-ments of all the major states – includingGermany, Italy, France (PresidentChirac at least) and the UK – all firmlysupport Turkish entry. This should beenough to carry the support of smallerstates, but a positive decision is not yeta certainty.

There is strong opposition to Turkishentry in both France and Germany whichcould tip the balance towards a condi-tional offer if either government (butmost likely France) feels a need toplacate its domestic constituency. Thereis also widespread hostility within Aus-tria, with the situation there compli-cated by a threat by the far-right Free-dom Party to withdraw from the rulingcoalition if Austria supports Turkish

Fearing east, movingwestDecember and January are key months for Turkey’s long term foreignrelations goal. The most important date is December 16, when the EUCouncil of Ministers meets to decide on Turkey’s application for member-ship, a move that would confer significant political and economic rewardsover the medium term. However, the January elections scheduled for Iraqare also of significant interest to Ankara, given its own restive Kurdishpopulation and the dangers of continued instability in its near neighbour.BMI View: With a positive report by the EU looking likely, a low keyapproach to the problem should enable the government to overcome themost significant dangers.

Syria – US Will Keep The Heat OnThe re-election of US President Bush suggests the US will keepup pressure on Syria. Washington is particularly worried aboutflows of militants and weapons across the border into Iraq, andsome within the administration even think that the Syrian militaryare involved. BMI View: Military action is unlikely – resourcesare already stretched and the public are unlikely to support an-other war – but veiled threats will continue as the US tries todeter Syrian intervention in Iraq.

The stain of corruptionThe political left has become embroiled in a far-reaching corruptionscandal which centres upon the country’s largest oil refiner and retailer,PKN Orlen. BMI View: Despite the stable interim leadership of thegovernment of Marek Belka, the ruling Socialists continue to suffer fromalleged corruption between their politicians and business elites. In thiscontext, the political centre-right, which has prepared a strong anti-corruption platform, appears the greatest beneficiary.

SINCE THE DEPARTURE from gov-ernment of ex-Prime Minister LeszekMiller in May 2003, amid accusationsof corruption, Poland’s ruling Demo-cratic Left Alliance (SLD) has tried torecover its approval ratings under new

leadership. However, a parliamentaryinvestigation into political improprietyconcerning the country’s largest oil re-finer and retailer, PKN Orlen, has dem-onstrated that public opinion of the

IN NOVEMBER 2004, the nationalassembly voted in favour of a motion tomaintain the presence of soldiers inIraq to March 2005, by 191 votes to159. However, despite strong supportfrom the governing coalition ofSocialists and Free Democrats,sufficient opposition was mounted bycentre-right parties to ensure that theresult fell short of the two-thirdsmajority required to carry the motion.The vote was preceded by a plea fromPrime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, whowarned parliament that the withdrawal

of Hungarian troops before Iraqielections (in January 2005) wouldundermine the purpose of theirdeployment.

Nevertheless, Gyurcsany had previ-ously acknowledged that the country’sparticipation in military efforts to sta-bilise Iraq imposed both a political cost,related to the scarcity of public support,and an economic cost, in terms of theassociated fiscal burden. But, consist-ent with the foreign policy strategy ofthe government of his predecessor, Peter

Hungary to withdrawfrom IraqThe Hungarian parliament has failed to approve an extension to thedeployment of troops in Iraq. As a consequence, the country’s 300-strongmilitary contingent will be withdrawn by end-2004. BMI View: The voterepresents a major blow to the ruling Socialists’ policy of participation inthe reconstruction and stabilisation of Iraq. While the impending return ofHungary’s soldiers may appease domestic opponents of their mission, webelieve that the potential political and economic ramifications of theirdeparture will cause the Hungarian authorities considerable concern.

Czech Republic – A Case For Early Elections?The senior government member, the Social Democratic Party(CSSD), has suffered crushing defeats in regional and Senate elec-tions. Opposition parties claim that the CSSD has lost the man-date to rule, and have called for early elections. BMI View: Theconstitutional requirements for an early vote mean that a deci-sion on this will remain in the CSSD’s hands. It therefore seemslikely that a vote will be postponed in order to give the partytime to win back support.

Members of the governing Democratic Left Alliance (SLD)appear to be in conflict over whether to hold early elections in May2005, or wait until October, the latest month permitted under theconstitution. Proponents of a later poll hope that a projected fall inunemployment and increasing absorption of EU subsidies willstrengthen the SLD’s re-election prospects.

Parallel successesThere have been developments in both domestic politics and securityissues in recent weeks, with parliament approving a constitutional amend-ment to allow presidential re-election (pending review by the Constitu-tional Court) and progress continuing on disarming the AUC. BMI View:The controversial issue of extradition could yet hinder peace negotiations,particularly since both sides appear reluctant to concede ground.

SUBSTANTIAL ATTENTION hasbeen paid in recent months to the con-gressional debate on presidential re-election, since the successful passageof the bill would allow the popularPresident Álvaro Uribe to run for asecond term in office. The proposal

involves amending the constitution and,as such, has meant that the bill must beapproved in eight separate legislativevotes, spread across two concurrentlegislative sessions. Despite the factthat the final four votes required a quali-

JUST AS IT appeared that the politicalscene was quietening following theresolution of the divisive referendumissue and the largely peaceful execu-tion of the municipal elections, themurder of a prominent federal prosecu-tor in late November and the subse-quent police investigation into the kill-ing has once again brought tensions tothe boil. In the first politically moti-vated assassination in the country sincethe 1960s, Danilo Anderson was killedwhen a bomb planted in his car deto-nated in the Santa Monica/Bello Montearea of Caracas.The murder of Anderson is particularlysignificant given that he had been in-volved in the trials of hundreds of peo-ple suspected of involvement in the

2002 attempted coup to oust PresidentHugo Chávez. Indeed, it is reportedthat Anderson was involved in all of thepolitically sensitive cases for the Attor-ney General’s office. The governmentwas quick to blame the attack on oppo-sition elements (despite the fact thatmany opposition parties condemnedthe killing), frustrated with the out-comes of the referendum and the gov-ernment clean sweep in the local polls,and mooted draft proposals for tighteranti-terrorism legislation in response.

Meanwhile, the official investiga-tion into the assassination has madesome progress, although this has beenmarred to some extent by the death of aseveral suspects during gun battles with

Killing stokes tensionsThe assassination of federal prosecutor Danilo Anderson has catapultedVenezuelan politics back into the limelight, highlighting the polarisation ofthe political spectrum. BMI View: Although this is more likely an isolatedincident and not indicative of a descent to the level of violence seen in thelikes of Colombia, a successful official investigation is crucial to easingtensions.

Dominican Republic – CAFTA Compromise?The Dominican Republic’s membership of the (yet to be ratified)Central American Free Trade Pact (CAFTA) hangs in the balancefollowing the introduction of a 25% tax on US corn syrup im-ports. BMI View: Facing strong opposition from all corners, bothlocally and in the US, President Leonel Fernández will be underincreasing pressure to find a compromise in order to salvage theagreement, which could be extremely beneficial to the long-termDominican recovery.
