Asia Pacific Economics – 4 key risks
Potential external demand shock
Large production capacity build-up – resulting over capacity
Sharp slowdown in capital inflows and rise in cost of capital
Risk capital inflows accelerated since 2003 for almost 5 years resulting in price bubbles
Currency shock
Dislocations in the balance sheets of many companies and countries with external liabilities
Increased risk of financial instability
Australia, India, South Korea and Indonesia most affected because of high current-account deficit and tight banking sector liquidity
