Spooked investors snap up Singapore govt bonds
2008-06-06 06:19:00 Spooked investors snap up Singapore govt bonds Demand grows with inflation threat; bond yields climb sharply By SIOW LI SEN (SINGAPORE) Singapore government bonds are in demand as prices continue to fall due to inflation fears, and investors seek a flight to quality. Analysts say inflation, the predominant worry of Asian countries, has spooked investors who see a second financial crisis brewing. Prices of the 10-year Singapore Government Securities (SGS) bond yesterday fell for the fourth consecutive day while yields jumped 16 basis points to 3.60, near a two-year high. Yield for the two-year SGS bond gained a faster 18 basis points to 1.15 per cent. ‘It’s a big move, and it’s not to do with fresh domestic data.

?State govt not paying enough attention to tourism industry?
2008-05-15 06:53:00 Even though the state has a 1,600-km long coastal line and scores of international tourist destinations, it does not attract much tourists. The reason: The state government has not been able to market and pay tourism industry the attention it deserves. This was stated by S P Jain, senior vice president of Hotel and Restaurant Associations (HRA) of Western India, during a media interaction here on Wednesday. According to Jain, the annual tourist inflow to the state could be trebled from the present figure of one crore if the government focuses on it. Pointing out that there is a tremendous room for growth of the tourism industry, he said the industry can develop fast if the government encouraged private-public partnership (PPP) model as done by the governments in West Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. He said the association had recently written to the state government in this regard ?The full tourist potential can be exploited by improving infrastructure through PPP as there i...
