  • When the bond issues of Germany's two main development agencies, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and Deutsche Ausgleichsbank (DtA), were formally given the explicit guarantee of the Federal Republic of Germany at the start of April, it confirmed in the eyes of international investors what the two banks had been saying in any event for years: that, to all intents and purposes, there is no difference in terms of credit quality between them and government bonds.
  • Perhaps the people responsible for writing the Deutsche Ausgleichsbank (DtA) activity report read Euroweek after all. A year ago, our German capital markets report said provocatively that it is small wonder that "a country with such ludicrously restrictive laws on retailing has in recent years created virtually no internationally recognised entrepreneur in the mould of the UK's Richard Branson".
  • "Russia! Russia! That is where the weather is coming from!" (Winston Churchill)
  • To Ralph Berlowitz, head of debt syndicate at Deutsche Bank's Frankfurt headquarters, by far the most striking characteristic of the German capital market over the first half of 1998 was the speed with which the corporate bond market - long conspicuous in Germany by its virtual absence - evolved.
  • GUANGDONG International Trust & Investment Corporation (Gitic) became the first Chinese financial institution to default on an international public bond this week when it failed to make an $8.75m interest payment due on October 26 for its $200m 2016 Yankee.

  • HOPES for a flood of China Telecom paper from cash strapped strategic investors were dashed this week. In its place came a trickle of small sales and a larger share trade conducted by Credit Suisse First Boston. A total of 20m shares was placed by Credit Suisse First Boston on Monday from an unknown vendor at HK$13.20 compared with a market price of HK$14.30.
  • Australia Cable & Wireless Optus had a successful week roadshowing in Australasia, although bankers said there was a wider spread in valuations than would normally be expected.
  • STANDARD & Poor's has downgraded the Republic of India by one notch, lowering its long term foreign currency ceiling from BB+ to BB and its long term local currency rating from BBB+ to BBB. The agency also affirmed the country's short term foreign currency rating of B and assigned a short term local currency rating of A3.
  • MOODY'S last Friday placed its ratings of the Singaporean banking sector under review for possible downgrade. It had moved the outlook for the sector to negative in March and a number of potential threats to asset quality then highlighted by the agency have since come into play. These comprised:
  • * On Wednesday, Moody's Investors Service downgraded five ITICs and placed the Baa2 rating of Citic under review for a possible downgrade. The agency said this decision, "reflected heightened regulatory risks as well as increasing uncertainties over the availability, strength, and timeliness of government support for the ITICs."
  • AUSSIE Home Loans, a non-bank lender that has changed the face of the Australian mortgage market, is on the threshold of a new phase of development, and is discussing its future with a wide range of financial institutions. AHL was the first non-bank lender in Australia when it was established seven years ago and now has more mortgages outstanding than all but the four biggest banks.
