One year forward for Rajapakse, twelve years backward for Sri Lanka [by Admin , Nov 25,2006] As he completes his first year as President, Mahinda Rajapakse has taken the country back to its bad and dangerous past that many of us thought ended for good in 1994. The People’s Alliance victory in 1994, after a decade of war and violence, had signaled a sea change in the Sinhala political leadership. The change was best exemplified by President Chandrika Kumaratunga who demonstrated a sincere readiness to address the Tamil question through a constitutional change. Alas, the sincerity and readiness could not be translated into peace as fighting between the army a…

The government plans to issue Rp 91.6 trillion worth of new bonds next year, up markedly from Rp 62.28 trillion, budgeted for this year. This is a consequence of the government's decision to accelerate the amortization of its foreign debts, notably those with high interest rates, and to disband its foreign creditor consortium, the consultative group on Indonesia (CGI), starting this year…

It does not get better than that. These days my portfolio is basically made up of both local and international index funds: A couple of ultra-low-cost funds hold literally thousands of companies (well, a sliver of each), including the biggest companies on earth. In other words, you name it, and chances are we o…

Some of these big factory chains were asked to search for ‘alternati…

Sri Lanka's overseas Tamils fill rebel Tiger coffers By Peter Apps Fri Jun 23, 8:39 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - It's thanks to Sri Lanka's overseas Tamils -- people like engineer S.

Conflict: India, U.S, China and Iran; or why the Sri Lanka crisis has to be resolved soon By: GeeKay Source: Northeastern Monthly - July 2006 The focal point of contemporary international politics is the Persian Gulf. Globalisation’s future lies in securing the Indian Ocean, for which a contest is on between the United States of America and its allies on the one hand, and the People’s Republic of China and its friends, on the other.

What Ukraine Needs to Learn from Afghanistan The greatest enemy of economic development is war. If the world slips further into global conflict, our economic hopes and our very survival could go up in flames. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the hands of the Doomsday Clock to a mere 90 seconds to midnight. The world’s biggest economic loser in 2022 was Ukraine, where the economy collapsed by 35% according to the International Monetary Fund. The war in Ukraine could end soon, and economic recovery could begin, but this depends on Ukraine understanding its predicament as victim of a US-Russia proxy war that broke out in 2014. The US has been hea…
