Markets in both Singapore and the Philippines have risen by more than 30% in dollar terms; Indonesia has surged more than 70%; and tigerish Thailand has leapt by almost 130%. Investors, needless to say, are keen to know whether lightning will strike again in the same places in 2004. There is indeed something good in store: elections. The gains of the past year are easy to explain. Indonesia, for one, has finally found its feet after years of chaos following the regional crisis in 1997. Inflation and interest rates are failing, and the economy has grown by around 4% in the past year. Thailand's economy, meanwhile, has been doing even better. It has grown at an annual rate of 6.5% in the year as a whole. Because of low interest rates, consumers have been wildly purchasing cars and houses, helping crisis-hit companies pay off their debts and thus improving the balance sheets of Thailand's struggling banks. Analysts tell similar tales of asset increase all around the region. Markus Rosgen, of ING, a Dutch bank, notes that Asians have been piling up deposits in their bank accounts since the crisis. With interest rates so low, he argues, they now have an incentive either to consume more or to put their savings into more lucrative investments. Either way, share prices should rise. Even now, ail Southeast Asian markets are still well below their pre-crisis highs. Moreover, points out Christopher Wood of CLSA, an investment bank, all Southeast Asian markets except Singapore serve as useful hedges against America, since they do not rise and fall with Wall Street. Unexpected events might yet upset these rosy prospects. There will be elections in the Philippines and Indonesia in 2004, and probably in Malaysia, too. Thailand goes to the polls at the beginning of 2005. Economically corrupted governments, street protests or bombing campaigns are always a possibility. But the responsible leaders seem likely to get re-elected in all four countries. Furthermore, they will spend a lot of money in the process, out of both the state budget and their own pockets, giving their economies a further boost. As a recent report by ING points out, Indonesian stocks rose in the nm-up to all of the past three elections.

单选题Although the situation at the negotiation table is always changeable, it is necessary to make out a detailed plan for the forthcoming negotiation. “Top line” and “bottom line” should be decided. For many negotiations in which more complex issues exist than the single factor of price, it is more useful to identify a “best achievable” top line. The negotiators of course hope for the best, but the fact is that their “best” is hardly satisfied. The limitation of the top line is affected by many factors. The negotiators should be considerate of the other party. They should not be too aggressive even when they are in a favourable position. They can not be too optimistic. If one party demands too much, the negotiation often results in a failure. The bottom line, on the other hand, is the last “line of defence”, which the negotiators will not give up. When setting the bottom line, over-optimism about probable outcome is often linked to a failure to give the bottom line adequate consideration. Identifying the bottom line is perhaps more important then setting the original target. Flexibility in setting the best achievable target is essential.
