South Korea Escalates Concern With Japan Policies as Yen Slides

South Korea’s newly-appointed finance minister, Hyun Oh Seok, revived his nation’s concerns over weakness in the yen and said that the Group of 20 nations should revisit the issue.
“Japan’s expansionary policies are having various ripple effects on many countries,” Hyun, 62, told reporters on March 23 in Bundang, on his second day as finance chief. “The yen is depreciating while the won is gaining and this is flashing a red light for Korea’s exports.”

Japan central bank Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is poised to boost monetary easing, expanding a campaign to defeat deflation that triggered an 11 percent decline in the yen against the dollar in the past three months. South Korea expressed concerns about the currency’s slide before and after last month’s meeting of the G-20 in Moscow, where that organization refrained from criticizing Japanese policies.
“The South Korean government is well aware that the negative influence on the economy from the yen’s depreciation is not small,” said Lee Sang Jae, a Seoul-based economist at Hyundai Securities Co. The nations are in “a competing relationship, not a complementary one,” said Lee.
South Korean officials are concerned at the yen’s slide because the nation depends on exports for economic growth and competes in overseas markets with Japanese manufacturers of cars and electronics. At the Moscow meeting, G-20 nations pledged not “to target our exchange rates for competitive purposes,” without any censure of Japan for the yen’s decline.

Japanese View

Japan’s government says it is not targeting the yen, with declines in the currency a side-effect of efforts to spur a sustained recovery in the world’s third-biggest economy.
“While we will do what we can, we need international cooperation to deal with the weak-yen problem,” Hyun told reporters. “This should be discussed at the G-20.”
Hyun’s comments came as he toured markets in Seoul and Bundang, checking on prices of goods after the new government under President Park Geun Hye pledged efforts to aid low income earners. Appointed by Park on March 22, Hyun said in his inaugural speech he would use “all possible measures to speed the economic recovery,” and indicated that government support would come as early as this month.

Two Pillars

“We need to factor in the yen problem as we think about policy measures, as exports and domestic demand are two big pillars of our economy,” Hyun said on March 23. Stabilizing foreign-exchange markets should always be an important part of government policy, since currency moves can be a source of shocks, he said.
Yoon Sang Jick, minister of trade, industry and energy, also underscored the importance of stability in the foreign- exchange market, in e-mailed comments yesterday.
South Korea’s Kospi Index fell 0.1 percent on March 22 as Cyprus struggled to avoid a financial collapse. The won declined 0.7 percent in the past week to 1,119.28 per dollar in Seoul, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Hyun’s appointment last week in the face of objections from opposition lawmakers may bring forward measures that Park hopes will spur the economy after growth last year was the weakest since the global financial crisis. Challenges include a stagnant property market, an aging population, and weakness in the yen.
Hyun was president of the state research center Korea Development Institute, which was founded by Park’s father, former dictator Park Chung Hee. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and previously worked at the World Bank, as well as South Korea’s finance ministry.
The government may announce a supplementary budget of 10 trillion won ($8.9 billion) on March 26, Yonhap News reported last week, without saying where it got the information. Choi Sang Mok, a director general at the finance ministry, said no decision had been made.

Free Tires for Malaysian Cabs Expose Budget Risk as Vote Looms

Malaysians like cab driver Ramakrishnan Ramachandran are getting used to handouts from the government as the next election looms. The budget deficit is set to show the strain regardless of who wins the vote.
From rebates for smartphones to household subsidies for electricity and higher wages for civil servants, Prime Minister Najib Razak has gone on a spending binge to woo voters ahead of polls that must be held by late June. In 2012, he announced a 35 million ringgit ($11 million) voucher program to help taxi drivers pay for new tires.
“The government simply throws the money,” Ramachandran, 54, said as he waited for passengers outside a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall, adding that the 520 ringgit he received for the wheels won’t deter him from voting for the opposition for the first time. “Whatever the government gives, I take.”
The opposition, attempting to break the ruling coalition’s hold of more than five decades on power, is also prepared to be generous as it promises free university education, lower fuel prices and the elimination of toll fees. Any fiscal deterioration from persistent largesse could raise the risk of capital outflows should the U.S. shift to tightening monetary policy, triggering a reversal in the flood of cash into emerging markets in recent years.
“No one will be overly alarmed by whether Malaysia can pay for its spending now but its fiscal trajectory is not a pretty thing,” said Vishnu Varathan, a Singapore-based Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. economist who has covered Malaysia for seven years. “Should investors start pulling money out of emerging markets, Malaysia is not at the top of the hit list but the sustainability of the fiscal situation is a concern for longer- term investors.”

Budget Shortfalls

Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy has reported 15 years of budget deficits, and elevated spending has prompted credit rating companies to highlight risks to government finances.
“There’s a danger that after the election, if it’s a close outcome the government may not have the will to carry out tough reforms” and curb spending, said Chua Hak Bin, an economist at Bank of America Corp. in Singapore. “Overall, the risk is for the fiscal deficit to deteriorate.”
Support for the prime minister is the lowest since 2011, with his approval rating falling to 61 percent in February from 63 percent in December, according to a survey from the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research.

Close Result

The prospect of an even closer election result than the 2008 vote, when the ruling National Front coalition won by its narrowest margin in more than five decades, has helped make the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index the worst performing Southeast Asian benchmark this year.
Najib has pledged to balance the budget by 2020 from more than 4 percent of gross domestic product last year, saying rising revenue has enabled the country to fund socio-economic programs. Still, government spending in 2012 exceeded original budget projections by about 2 percent of GDP, particularly in wages, pensions, fuel subsidies, and transfers, the International Monetary Fund said last month.
“We are having a race to the bottom, we are having a race on who can be more populist than the other,” said Wan Saiful Wan Jan, chief executive of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs in Kuala Lumpur. “Whatever the scenario, the likelihood is Malaysia will be heading towards a welfare state and the impact on the economy will be long term.”

Cash Transfers

Najib, 59, must dissolve Parliament by April 28 and hold the poll within 60 days. The prime minister’s planned 251.6 billion ringgit budget for 2013 includes cash handouts for low- income families and higher pensions for civil servants. He has temporarily shelved a plan to cut subsidies on the widely used RON 95 grade of gasoline since 2010 and hasn’t given a date to start a goods and services tax.
This month, Najib said cash transfers to poor households will take place annually.
The opposition People’s Alliance coalition, led by former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, has pledged to increase the threshold for tax payers charged the highest rate to 400,000 ringgit from 250,000 ringgit, and spend 13 billion ringgit to build “affordable homes.” On top of free education in public universities, students who aren’t “well-off” would be given an allowance for food, lodging, books and transportation.

Deficit Forecast

The budget deficit is forecast by the government to shrink to 4 percent of GDP this year from 6.6 percent in 2009. The country “has been successful in moving towards near-budget neutral by 2020,” the government said in a report this month.
The IMF said last month contingent liabilities for the government are growing from the rise of its statutory guarantees, which in part reflect borrowing by special-purpose vehicles set up to finance large public infrastructure projects. The guarantees have increased to 15 percent of GDP, from less than 10 percent in 2008, it said.
Standard & Poor’s said in September that it may lower Malaysia’s ratings if the government can’t deliver on measures such as the implementation of a goods and services tax or changes to its subsidy program to reduce the deficit.
That will hinge on how many voters there are like Syed Abdul Kadir. The Kuala Lumpur taxi driver receives cash handouts to supplement his income and said government scholarships allowed his daughter to become a doctor and his son an engineer.
“I tell my kids every morning to thank God they were born in this country,” said Syed, 49. “The government has given us many good things.”
Eleventh-hour handouts aren’t enough for Ramachandran.
“It’s not in a proper way, it’s like rasuah,” he said, using the Malay word for bribery. “I want to change the government and see what happens for the next five years.”

Bank of Israel Holds Rate for 3rd Month as Home Prices Climb

The Bank of Israel kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged for a third month, as policy makers focus more on climbing domestic home prices than on the pace of recovery in the global economy.
Governor Stanley Fischer and the monetary policy panel held the rate at 1.75 percent, the lowest in almost three years, the Jerusalem-based bank said on its website today. Sixteen of the 21 economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast the decision, while the remainder predicted a quarter-point cut.

The decision to hold the rate for another month signals that the Bank of Israel is more worried about the possibility that the housing price bubble will balloon than it is about the economy slowing down and slipping into recession,” Shmuel Ben Arie, head of research at Pioneer Financial Planning, said in an e-mailed statement.
The Bank of Israel has gradually reduced the borrowing rate from 3.25 percent in 2011 as the European debt crisis crimped growth in the country’s biggest export market. The monetary expansion has helped to fuel a jump in housing credit and home prices, which soared more than 50 percent since 2009.
“The rate of increase in home prices continues to rise,” the central bank said today. In the 12 months that ended in January, home prices increase by 8.6 percent, compared with an increase of 6.7 percent in the 12 months to December, it said.

‘Mixed’ Global Economy

The central bank also cited the new government’s fiscal challenges in its decision. To abide by Israeli budgetary rules, the government must reduce spending commitments this year by 13 billion shekels ($3.6 billion), the central bank said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government was sworn in last week, and it has until August to pass a budget.
On the global front, the macroeconomic picture is “mixed,” the central bank said. Still, it appears that the likelihood of a global economic crisis is receding, and the high level of uncertainty that prevailed in the past year has been reduced, the bank said.
“It is quite probable that the last interest rate change by the monetary committee led by Governor Fischer is behind us,” said Alex Zabezhinsky, chief economist at Tel Aviv-based DS Securities & Investments Ltd. “The next step will be a rate increase, but that step will be decided on by the next governor, and it probably will happen toward the end of the year.”

Fischer will leave the central bank at the end of June.

Growth Forecast

The economy is forecast to grow by 3.8 percent in 2013, assuming that natural gas production from the Tamar drilling site will begin as planned during the second quarter, the central bank said today. Excluding the natural gas, GDP is expected to grow by 2.8 percent.
Economic growth slowed to an annualized 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter, the slowest in more than three years, as exports and investment declined. Inflation remained at 1.5 percent in February, the fifth month it stayed below the midpoint of the government’s 1 percent to 3 percent target.
The yield on the government’s 4.25 percent benchmark notes due March 2023 fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 3.95 percent today, the lowest since March 7, at the close in Tel Aviv. The shekel strengthened to a 17-month high, gaining 0.3 percent to 3.6550 a dollar on March 22, as Israel renewed diplomatic ties with Turkey. Israeli markets will be closed until March 27 for the Passover holiday.
The central bank imposed tighter regulations on home loans last month, requiring banks to set aside more capital and provisions. In October, it set maximum loan-to-value limits for the first time, after capping variable-rate mortgages at one- third the value of the total loan six months earlier. In May 2010, it increased provisions for home loans where buyers put up little equity.
“The Bank of Israel has tried to use supervision and prudential regulations to slow down bank mortgage lending, but this has not proved to be effective,” Daniel Hewitt, senior emerging-market economist at Barclays Plc, said before the announcement.

Cyprus Teeters on Brink as Euro Chiefs Battle Crisis

Simon Dawson/Bloomberg
Demonstrators from the bank union protest outside the Cypriot finance ministry in Nicosia, Cyprus, on Saturday, March 23, 2013. 
 
European governments battled to save Cyprus from financial ruin, seeking to prevent the woes of the euro area’s third-smallest economy from reviving the debt crisis and rattling markets. 
Cyprus’s leaders sparred over the terms of a 10 billion- euro ($13 billion) bailout with euro-area finance ministers, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund in the second Brussels crisis meeting in nine days.
A threat by the ECB to cut off emergency financing for Cyprus’s tottering banks as soon as tomorrow gives the Mediterranean island’s leaders the choice of either bowing to creditor demands that it shrink its financial system or else face potential default and an unprecedented exit from the euro.
“It is not up to us,” German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters on his way in to the meeting. “The decision is now with Cyprus.”
The full 17-nation meeting was delayed by more than two hours as clusters of European and national officials bargained with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, in office for less than a month.
“We are doing our utmost,” Anastasiades said in a Twitter posting. Hundreds of protesters massed outside the floodlit presidential palace in Nicosia, one group brandishing a banner that said: “It’s capitalism, stupid.”

First Package

A rescue package hammered out March 16 in Brussels fell apart three days later when the Cypriot parliament rejected a tax on all bank accounts on the island, forcing Cyprus to hunt for other sources of the 5.8 billion euros demanded by the creditors.
A Cypriot mission to Russia, the island’s biggest foreign investor, failed to come up with an alternative. Finance Minister Michael Sarris said yesterday that bank-deposit levies are back on the table.
The German-led bloc of creditors hasn’t wavered from demands that Cyprus shrink its banking industry, with total assets estimated by the European Commission at 750 percent of Cypriot gross domestic product, more than double the euro-zone average.
Cyprus Popular Bank Pcl (CPB), the second-biggest, will be wound down and have losses imposed on its depositors, under plans approved by the Cypriot parliament on Friday. At stake tonight was how much more Cyprus will be forced to squeeze a “business model” that is over-reliant on banks.

At Risk

“We have to have a solution here tonight, because this is about the stability of the entire euro zone and it would be very bad to put that at risk,” Luxembourg Finance Minister Luc Frieden.
The euro slipped 0.3 percent to $1.2951 as of 8:45 p.m. Brussels time, after last week posting the biggest loss in three weeks against the dollar. European stocks last week notched the largest weekly decline in four months.
European governments have wrangled over aid for Cyprus since June, exposing holes in the euro’s revamped economic management system that was built, piece by piece, after Greece’s ballooning deficit triggered the debt crisis in late 2009.
A tightening of Europe’s budget-deficit restrictions and new rules to penalize countries with unbalanced economies or asset bubbles failed to stop the rot in Cyprus, which makes up less than 0.2 percent of the euro-zone economy.

Disconnect

All the contradictions of the debt-crisis management came together over Cyprus, with name-calling between northern and southern Europe, tensions between unelected central bankers and elected politicians, and the disconnect between slow-moving policy makers and lightning-fast markets.
An emerging deal would need to be blessed by the central bank, represented in Brussels by President Mario Draghi, an Italian, and Joerg Asmussen, a German on the Executive Board. The ECB has threatened to cut off emergency funding to Cypriot banks, which have been closed all week and are due to reopen on March 26.
“Sand is running through the hourglass quickly,” Finnish Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen said. “We need to find a solution overnight.”
