BLUESCOPE STEEL: Gaining Foothold in China
------------------------------------------
BlueScope Steel Limited has invested approximately AU$60 million
in two manufacturing facilities in China, which are expected to
start operations by mid-2006, according to Egoli News.

The Company confirmed the planned construction of a new facility
in Guangzhou to manufacture a range of Butler and Lysaght
branded products for customers in the growing building and
construction markets in China's south.

The new plant will incorporate a Butler manufacturing facility
for PEBs (pre-Engineered Buildings) and will complement an
existing Lysaght rollforming plant in Guangzhou, a project
expected to cost AU$45 million.   

In addition, the existing BlueScope Lysaght plant at Langfang,
near Beijing, will be expanded at a total cost of AU$16 million
to produce architectural and sandwich panels for the China
market.

Architectural and sandwich panels are widely used in premium
architectural building facade systems, and are expected to
feature prominently in signature buildings to be constructed
ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

"The further expansion of BlueScope Steel's manufacturing
capability in China reflects strong demand in that country for
our high quality branded building products, and our enthusiasm
for China as a destination for manufacturing capital
investment," noted BlueScope Steel's CEO and MD, Kirby Adams.

The Company added that each of the new operations will consume
the Zincalume and Clean Colorbond product to be manufactured at
the new AU$280 million metallic coating and paint line facility
BlueScope Steel has under construction at Suzhou, west of
Shanghai.  

BlueScope Steel is currently stepping up efforts to reel from
expected losses stemming from the industrial action at its
Western Port facility in Victoria. The protest has severely
affected its ability to supply steel products to its customers.

JAMES HARDIE: Could Face Offshore Claims
----------------------------------------
Embattled James Hardie Industries NV is under pressure to extend
its AU$1.5 billion compensation package to asbestos victims in
the Asia-Pacific region, according to The Australian.

The former asbestos manufacturer is pressed by victims groups
and unions to compensate victims in countries where it
manufactured or sold asbestos products, on the same terms as
those for Australian victims.

James Hardie was found to have manufactured asbestos in New
Zealand for 45 years and ran two companies making pipes in
Indonesia for 16 years.

In New Zealand, victims of asbestos-related illness receive up
to NZ$68.77 a week from the government's Accident Compensation
Commission while victims in Indonesia receive nothing.

But James Hardie has washed its hands of the New Zealand issue,
saying it is a matter for the Wellington government. Australian
unions, therefore, demand Hardie to meet its Asian obligations.

JAMES HARDIE: Responds to Asia Compensation Queries
---------------------------------------------------
James Hardie was a joint venture in companies which manufactured
products containing asbestos in Malaysia from 1966 and Indonesia
from 1969.

James Hardie divested its investments in Indonesia in 1985 and
in Malaysia shortly thereafter, and has not had a corporate or
operational presence involving asbestos in the region since.

James Hardie understands that both the Indonesian and Malaysian
Governments continue to allow the manufacture and distribution
of products containing asbestos.

With the sale of James Hardie's investments in the Indonesian
and Malaysian companies, any liabilities or obligations remained
with those joint venture entities.

James Hardie has not received any notification of a claim for
asbestos disease related compensation in respect of Indonesia or
Malaysia either prior to or since the sale of its operations in
either country. If any claim were received, it would be
considered on its merits.

New Zealand asbestos related disease compensation claims are
managed by the state-run Accident Compensation Commission (ACC).

James Hardie, like all businesses in New Zealand, contributes
financially to the established ACC fund as required by law via
payment of an annual levy.

All decisions relating to the amount and allocation of payments
to legitimate claimants in New Zealand are made by the ACC in
accordance with New Zealand Law.

SANTOS LIMITED: Steps Up Exploration in 2005
--------------------------------------------
Santos Limited announced a 25 well, high-impact exploration
program for 2005. The Company will invest a total of AU$153
million testing prospects within its expanding domestic and
international exploration portfolio, up 21% from the AU$126
million spent on exploration in 2004.

Oil is the main focus of the 2005 program with most activity in
the Kutei and East Java Basins offshore Indonesia, the Gulf of
Suez in Egypt, the Bonaparte Basin in the Timor Sea and the
Carnarvon Basin offshore Western Australia.

"The 2005 program reflects the increasing materiality of our
exploration portfolio and continues Santos' emphasis on more
globally-focused exploration as an important part of our growth
strategy," said Santos' Managing Director, John Ellice-Flint.

"We are commencing 2005 with a very high activity level in the
first quarter," he said.

Key wells in the first quarter are: three deep water wells in
the Kutei Basin, one of which has already spudded; the Agung oil
prospect in the North Bali 1 PSC, which will spud within days;
two wells in the Gulf of Suez and the Cougar prospect offshore
Gulf of Mexico.

Throughout the remainder of the year other key wells are planned
in the Gulf of Suez, the Kutei Basin, East Java, the Otway
Basin, the Bonaparte Basin, the Carnarvon Basin and onshore in
the United States.

Santos has also commenced an extensive 3D seismic acquisition
program in the Sampang and Madura Offshore Production Sharing
Contracts in East Java.

The exploration portfolio is constantly being optimised so the
program is likely to vary as a result of drilling outcomes and
as new prospects mature.

The table below details the proposed 2005 exploration drilling
program.

BANK DANAMON: Pefindo Upgrades Rating to idA
--------------------------------------------
Pefindo upgraded the general obligation rating of PT Bank
Danamon Indonesia Tbk (BDMN) from idA- to idA.

The rating upgrade reflects BDMN's improving franchise value in
Small Medium Enterprise (SME) and consumer banking business,
strong capitalization and improving profitability.

Nevertheless, the rating is slightly mitigated by the intense
competition in the banking industry, particularly in retail
banking. Founded in 1956, as to date, the bank has consistently
grown and become the fifth largest bank in Indonesia in terms of
total assets.

Following the recapitalization program in 1998 and merging with
another 8 banks under IBRA, the majority of the bank's shares
have been sold to Asia Financial Indonesia Pte. Ltd. (AFI), an
entity owned by Temasek Holding, in June 2003.

A new management was then appointed by AFI to manage the bank.
As of December 2003, BDMN operates 477 branches and cash offices
in 184 cities across Indonesia, which is equipped with 477 self-
owned ATM networks and about 2,800 ATM under ALTO network and
2,400 ATM under ATM Bersama network.

As of June 2004, AFI held 61.9% ownership of the bank,
Government of Indonesia qq PPA (20.5%), and public (17.6%).

BANK RAKYAT: Hopes to Provide IDR15 Trillion in New Loans
---------------------------------------------------------
Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) is targeting a 25 percent increase
in new loans this year, amounting to IDR15 trillion (US$1.64
billion) compared to previous year's IDR12 trillion, reports The
Jakarta Post.

In a report, BRI stated that its total amount of outstanding
loans increased from IDR47.51 trillion as of the end of 2003 to
IDR58.1 trillion as of last September.  More than 85 percent of
the total outstanding loans were channeled to SMEs (small medium
enterprise).

"We expect to channel about 90 percent of this year's new loans
to SMEs," said BRI president Rudjito before the launching of a
book on BRI Keluar Dari Krisis (BRI Exits from the Crisis) by
State Minister of State Enterprises Sugiharto in Jakarta.

The decrease in the bank's non-performing loans (NPL) is just as
encouraging.  BRI's NPL decreased from 6.03 percent as of
December 2003 to 5.75 percent as of September 2004.  

BRI's capital adequacy ratio (CAR) slipped from 20.87 percent to
19.65 percent during the same period, but was still way above
Bank Indonesia's minimum requirement of 8 percent.

* Fitch Upgrades Indonesia's Long-term Rating to 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings, the international rating agency, has upgraded
Thursday the Republic of Indonesia's Long-term foreign and local
currency ratings to 'BB-' (BB minus) from 'B+'.

The agency has also affirmed its Short-term rating at 'B'. The
Outlook on the ratings remains Positive.  This rating action
reflects Indonesia's reduced political risk, better policy
initiation and coordination, anticipated bureaucratic and
legislative reforms, stronger economic growth and continued
improvements in the nation's public and external finances.

"The current phase in the political and economic cycle presents
the government with an important window of opportunity to build
on macroeconomic stability and mitigate pressures on the balance
of payments and the public finances. By prioritising structural
adjustment, the government is sending a strong signal that it is
determined to reduce further Indonesia's country risk profile,'
says Ai Ling Ngiam, Associate Director in Fitch's Asian
Sovereigns team.

Backed by a strong public mandate following the peaceful
conclusion of the 2004 general elections and a tighter grasp
over the legislature, the government aims to secure an
improvement in the investment climate and raise export
competitiveness.

Key areas of investor concern that need to be addressed include
onerous labour laws, obstructive local government regulations
and deep-seated corruption, all of which contribute
unnecessarily to the cost of doing business. While these
measures could prove difficult to implement and will only have a
noticeable impact over the medium term, clear signs of progress
could deliver early improvements in investor sentiment.

The macroeconomic impact from the Tsunami-affected Aceh province
will likely be minimal given that Aceh accounts for only 1.8% of
Indonesia's economy. Fitch forecasts real GDP growth of 5% this
year and 5.5% in 2006, up from 4.5% in 2004.

The agency says private consumption, a noticeable pick-up in
domestic investment activities and improving foreign investor
interest in key sectors such as oil and gas should become more
supportive of economic growth.

Indonesia's public finances are both a rating strength and an
important part of the rationale underpinning the Positive
Outlook. Factoring in a 30% reduction in fuel subsidies, Fitch
forecasts the fiscal deficit will register 1.2% of GDP this
year, a further improvement from the estimated 1.6% of GDP in
2004.

Falling debt service costs, primary surpluses and accelerating
economic growth provide more room for Indonesia's government
debt-to-GDP ratio to fall to 55% in 2005, bringing it close to
the 52% median for the 'BB' rating category.

Although Indonesia's balance of payments is still weighed down
by heavy external debt servicing requirements, the debt service
ratio has come down to 28% of current external receipts (CXR)
from 63% in 1999 and net external debt/CXR is estimated to drop
to 94% in 2005, down significantly from its post-crisis high of
194%.

Foreign exchange reserves have held up better than expected and
are anticipated to stabilize around USD36 billion in 2005, while
the liquidity ratio of 90% is comparable to other 'BB-' rated
sovereigns like Brazil, Turkey and Ukraine.

Fitch notes the ongoing discussions with the Paris Club in the
wake of the Tsunami disaster, but does not expect the
authorities to agree to any deal that would entail a new IMF
agreement and comparability treatment with private creditors.

Important drivers of the sovereign ratings will be clear signs
that the government is delivering on its ambitious reform
agenda, coupled with the maintenance of macroeconomic stability
and continued fiscal prudence. Fitch notes that the economy is
already growing strongly.

However, evidence of a sustained recovery in investment and
exports will be key factors in any positive rating action.
Conversely, failure to exploit the current window of
opportunity, leading to a weak reform agenda, could erode market
confidence and sovereign creditworthiness over time.

in-house committee members, was drastically reorganized to
establish this new committee. It will be composed of seven
members including five outside intellectuals, an in-house member
(an executive officer in charge of corporate ethics) and a
representative of the Labor Union, further enhancing the
"outsider's viewpoints".

MITSUBISHI MOTORS: May Become Mitsubishi Heavy Affiliate
--------------------------------------------------------
Struggling automaker Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is
likely to become an affiliate of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Limited, Reuters reports, citing the Nihon Keizai Shimbun
newspaper.

The planned move is part of the Mitsubishi group's effort to
revive operations of the besieged carmaker.

Mitsubishi Heavy, which originally spun off MMC in 1970, is
planning to acquire another JPY50 billion (US$481 million) worth
of shares in its sister firm, boosting its stake to above 15
percent from the current 10 percent.

The business daily said Mitsubishi Heavy chairman Takashi
Nishioka would replace Yoichiro Okazaki as Mitsubishi Motor's
chairman. MMC managing director Osamu Masuko, on the other hand,
will take over Hideyasu Tagaya as president.

A Mitsubishi Heavy spokesman said nothing had been decided on
the reported matter, while MMC said the article was based on
speculation and declined to comment.

MMC is set to announce a revival plan, including its second
major bailout package, by Monday.

NIPPON PAPER: Joint Venture in China Secures Aid
------------------------------------------------
Local governments have extended financial assistance to the
ailing joint venture of Nippon Paper Industries Company in
China, Asia Pulse says.

The unnamed textile and manufacturing firm, set up in Chengde,
Hebei Province, by the Nippon Paper and China's Chengde Dixian
Textile Co., is poised to resume operations as soon as it
receives the financial support.

The joint venture on Jan. 18 suspended 90 percent of its
production facilities due to cash flow problems.

The governments opted to provide the struggling Company with
operating capital to prevent it from falling into a financial
crisis. The governments are, likewise, conducting talks with
creditor banks to allow the joint venture to access bank loans.

YAMAICHI SECURITIES: Creditors Conclude Bankruptcy Procedures
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yamaichi Securities Company finally concluded a series of
bankruptcy procedures after it collapsed in 1997, according to
Kyodo News.

Creditors of the failed brokerage firm held their last meeting
Wednesday to complete bankruptcy formalities.

Yamaichi Securities, whose downfall nearly caused a national
financial crisis, became the first case in which part of the
emergency Bank of Japan (BOJ) loans supplied to a failed firm
had to be recovered at the expense of taxpayers because they
could not be repaid.

Yamaichi filed for voluntary liquidation in November 1997 after
it was found to have engaged in an illegal practice called
"tobashi", which keeps losses on securities from being disclosed
in financial reports.

In order to avert a financial system crisis, the BOJ extended
JPY1.2 trillion in emergency collateral-free loans to Yamaichi
Securities after the government decided the firm's liabilities
did not exceed its assets. But JPY110 billion became
irrecoverable, making it necessary for the portion to be covered
by taxpayer's money.

After the Tokyo District Court declared Yamaichi Securities
bankrupt in June 1996, the firm's receiver led efforts for four
and a half years to sell Yamaichi's assets at home and abroad to
help repay its debt of JPY306.9 billion.

The final ratio of repayment to creditors came to 62 percent,
higher than the initially anticipated 50 percent.

LG CARD: December 2004 Delinquency Rate Falls to 17.25%
-------------------------------------------------------
LG Card Co. said that payments overdue for one month or more
accounted for 17.25% of its total assets in December, reports
Yonhap.

The Company attributed the drop to continuing write-offs of bad
debts and efforts to rein in new dud assets.

In December, the Company took KRW328 billion worth of bad assets
off its balance sheet, compared with KRW373 billion a month ago.

LG Card saw its rescheduled overdue credit card bills fall to
KRW3.48 trillion in December 2004 from KRW3.81 trillion in the
previous month.

INCHON OIL: May Be Sold to Citigroup
------------------------------------
Citigroup is willing to buy Inchon Oil Refinery Co. Ltd. for
KRW780 billion if Chinese bidder Sinochem Corporation's purchase
of the small refiner falls through, the Financial Times reports.

Inchon Oil's major stockholder and creditor Citigroup and other
creditors have twice blocked a deal by Sinochem to buy the small
Company for about KRW630 billion, saying they want a higher
price.

"Inchon Oil should be sold at a fair price. So if Sinochem does
not raise its offer, Citigroup wants to buy the Company
instead," said a Company official, who attended a meeting with
creditors and court officials this week.

Creditor approval is needed for the deal to go through. Sinochem
will meet again with creditors and a judge at the end of this
month to reach an agreement over the sale, which is set to
become China's first takeover of a foreign oil Company.

If no agreement is reached, the court will decide whether to
reopen bidding or to keep Inchon in court receivership.

Citigroup is seeking a higher price to recoup more of its debt
owed by Inchon as it holds 30 percent of unsecured debt totaling
KRW371 billion, through wholly owned Blue Two Asset
Securitisation Specialty and Citigroup Global Market Securities,
creditors said.

Inchon has been under court receivership since 2001, with an
outstanding debt of KRW910 billion. The Company has a refining
capacity of 275,000 barrels a day but is operating at 45 % of
that. It posted a net profit of KRW82.3 billion in the first
nine months of 2004.

JASATERA BERHAD: Aims to Avert Suspension of Securities
-------------------------------------------------------
Jasatera Berhad on Jan. 24, 2005 received a letter dated on the
even date from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa
Securities) wherein, Bursa Securities requested the Company to
make written representations supported by documentary evidence
(if any) to Bursa Securities within five (5) market days from
the date of the letter as to why a suspension should not be
imposed on the securities of the Company.

The Suspension was served on the Company on the ground that the
Company had failed to regularize its financial condition within
the prescribed time frames stipulated by the Securities
Commission (SC) following the decision of the SC to reject the
Company's request for a further extension of time to Aug. 31,
2005 to implement the Revised Proposed Recapitalization Exercise
pursuant to the Announcement made on Jan.12, 2005.

The Board of Directors announced that the Company is writing the
representations supported by the documentary evidence (if
necessary) to Bursa Securities as to why the Suspension should
not be imposed on the Company securities.

BAYAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Sets Third Php135 Mln Interest Payment
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bayan Telecommunications is poised to pay in March another
Php135 million in interest after its debt-settlement scheme
gained support from a court-appointed receiver, says The
Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Receiver Remigio Noval has submitted his term sheet to the
court, which is consistent with Bayantel's own debt cut plan.

The Lopez-owned phone company said it had made two sets of
Php135 million in interest payments, one in September and
another in December. With the receiver's term sheet coinciding
with the firm's interest schedule, Bayantel said it was ready to
pay another Php135 million in March.

The Company will use internally generated funds to pay the
interest and is hoping that creditors will no longer object to
the rehab plan after the receiver submitted his term sheet.


COLLEGE ASSURANCE: SEC Asks Appraisers to Justify Land Valuation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cuervo Appraisers, Inc. was requested by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) to justify the valuation it gave for
the Quezon property which College Assurance Plans Philippines,
Inc. (CAP) plans to use in its bid to boost capitalization,
reports Business World.

The move follows an order by Sen. Sergio R. Osmena III to
investigate CAP after the upper chamber entered into a contract
with its subsidiary CAP Health Maintenance Organization (HMO),
Inc.

Sen. Osmena pointed out that CAP is trying to make people
believe that its woes are temporary.

"There is no way that I can see CAP being able to resurrect
itself and all of these capital insertions through 3,000
hectares of land is nothing at all. That is a non-starter. The
$300-million loan from an American Company is also a non-
starter," he said.

Mr. Osmena, who insisted that CAP's financial situation should
be revealed to the public, called for a probe on the ailing pre-
need firm after its subsidiary won the contract to be the
Senate's HMO. He stressed the possibility of CAP's problems also
being experienced by its unit.

At the SEC, an official said representatives of Cuervo
Appraisers are set to come to the SEC to explain the valuation
of the property, owned by businessman Romeo Roxas.

The 3,000-hectare property was originally valued by Cuervo at
Php6 billion. But the size was later reduced to 2,900 hectares
after CAP scrambled to make sure the title was free from claims
and other encumbrances. With the move, SEC officials said the
property is now valued at slightly below Php6 billion.

MANILA ELECTRIC: To Appeal Court Ruling Against Rate Hike
---------------------------------------------------------
The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said in a press release
that it is saddened by the decision of the Court of Appeals
denying its Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's July 22,
2004 decision.

Based on a petition for review, the appellate court last year
annulled and set aside the rulings of the Energy Regulatory
Commission (ERC) approving Meralco's unbundling and rate
increase. The court also remanded the case back to ERC for
further proceedings, including the conduct of a COA audit.

Meralco President and COO Jesus Francisco said that the CA
ruling will have severe repercussions on the Company's
viability.

"The 8.65 centavos increase granted by ERC starting June 2003
together with the unbundling is Meralco's first increase since
the provisionally approved 18.4 centavos in 1994 which was
subsequently slashed to 1.7 centavos because of the Supreme
Court ruling," said Mr. Francisco.

"We are, in fact, still servicing an over Php30 billion refund
arising out of the SC decision."

The CA decision also reverses the unbundling of Meralco rates
which provided substantial discounts to residential customers
consuming within 100 kwhs per month or the lifeline users. These
lifeline users enjoyed a reduction in their electric bills of
over Php100 per month starting June 2003 and are accorded
monthly discounts of 50%, 35%, and 20% under the unbundling.

"Implementation of the CA decision means substantially
increasing rates to these very small customers, something that
would be very difficult to implement at this time," added Mr.
Francisco.

Lifeline customers numbered close to 1.6 million in December
2004, representing over one-third of Meralco's 4.2 million
customers.

With Meralco's viability endangered by the CA decision and
considering its implications to the very poor among its
customers, Meralco may have no recourse but to elevate the
matter to the Supreme Court. While it still has to officially
receive a copy of the CA ruling, its legal counsels are already
studying the matter. Meralco may also have to seek relief at the
ERC whose duty is to balance the interests of customers and the
utilities.

"Public interest dictates that a utility be viable. Otherwise,
it cannot continue to perform the vital service of delivering
electricity to its customers," said Mr. Francisco.

NATIONAL POWER: Lawmaker Says Soaring Debts a Cause for Concern
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance advised the
government to closely review National Power Corporation's
(Napocor) debts, which are mounting every year, relates Asia
Pulse.

Senator Manny Villar is calling for the government to "once and
for all" check and control Napocor's debts, which have burdened
the Filipino people.

Of Napocor's Php600-billion debts, the government is set to
assume Php200 billion (US$3.6 billion) and around Php360 billion
would be shouldered by the people through the 23-plus centavo
per kilowatt hour rate hike to be charged by Napocor.

Napocor, one of the government-owned and controlled corporations
(GOCCs) being monitored by the Department of Finance (DoF), the
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Senate's
Finance Committee, has been bleeding hefty amounts every year
since the late 1990s.

>From 1998 to 2004, Napocor has seen its losses skyrocket by
2,850 percent. In effect, the power firm's average losses during
the period was Php41.46 billion. By the end of this year, its
total liabilities estimated to reach Php1.5 trillion would
greatly exceed its total assets of Php945 billion.

Mr. Villar also noted that while Napocor is suffering from hefty
losses and debts, it also enters into dubious contracts with
independent power producers (IPPs) and is "giving out fat
paychecks even fatter separation pays and benefits to resigning
and retiring officers whom they eventually re-hire anyway".

PRYCE CORPORATION: Unaware of Reasons for Unusual Price Movement
----------------------------------------------------------------
A letter dated January 26, 2005 and issued by the Market
Surveillance Department of the Exchange informed the Company
through its Corporate Information Officer that "there was an
unusual price movement in the trading of PRYCE CORPORATION (PPC)
shares at 11:11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2005". And that
"(t)he share price of PPC increased by 50% from Php0.20 to
Php0.30 per share".

The Company is unaware of any material information whatsoever
relating to such unusual movement in the trading within January
26, 2005. It is to be noted, however, that the trading of PPC
shares commenced only on Wednesday after it has been halted for
about six months now. Furthermore, it is to be noted that in a
disclosure last January 17, 2005, the Company already informed
the Philippine Stock Exchange that it received a Court Order
approving the Amended rehabilitation Plan for PPC.

Significantly, information about such approval was in the
business news (both print and television) soon after the
disclosure to the Exchange. Lastly, the undersigned was informed
that a review of the said trading revealed while there was an
unusual price movement, the volume traded involved only 10,000
shares.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Regulation Code,
the issuer has duly caused this report to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

(Signed)

* Fitch Assigns 'BB' to Philippines' 9.875% Global Bond Due 2030
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings, the international rating agency, assigned the
Republic of Philippines' forthcoming USD1 billion 9.875% global
bond due 2030 an expected Long-term foreign currency 'BB'
rating. The rating Outlook is Negative. The rating is in line
Philippines' Sovereign 'BB' ratings with Negative Outlook, which
were affirmed in December.

The rating will be final upon receipt of conclusive documents
conforming to information already received.

The Sovereign ratings reflect Philippines' strong macroeconomic
performance, current account surpluses supported by hefty
remittances from offshore Filipino workers and an external
balance sheet that continues to sit comfortably with 'BB'-rated
peers. The maturity structure of the government's external debt
is also helping to limit external financing pressures,
reflecting the fact that over half of the debt is owed to
official creditors. The government's capacity to switch to the
domestic market for its financing requirements also supports the
rating.

Nonetheless, the Negative Outlook reflects increased concerns
about prospects for fiscal policy adjustment. These come against
a backdrop of sharply diminishing fiscal flexibility that leaves
the public finances vulnerable to shocks, including from
domestic interest rate increases, exchange rate pressures or
contingent liabilities emanating from the wider public sector or
from banking system weaknesses. Fitch points out that while the
national government deficit improved last year, the broader non-
financial public sector deficit is expected to remain at a
historically high 6.3% of GDP, reflecting financial problems at
the National Power Corporation (NPC).

According to recently revised figures, national government debt
increased to 72% at end-2003 from 63% of GDP at end-2001 and is
estimated to have risen further to 76% of GDP this year
following the transfer of debts from NPC. Public debt as a share
of GDP is high relative to 'BB' norms and extremely high as a
share of revenue at over 500%.

The Philippines faces significant fiscal policy challenges in
the near term. The policy response witnessed to date has
entailed electricity tariffs hikes, increase in sin taxes, a
hike in import duties on fuel, efforts to improve tax collection
and a squeeze in non-interest expenditure to a historically low
level of 13% of GDP in 2004. Fitch believes the key to restoring
fiscal health lies in further tax policy measures. The proposal
being discussed to raise the value-added tax from 10% to 12% is
particularly important.

Fitch recognizes the recent increased momentum in fiscal policy
discussions in Congress, but notes that it will be crucial to
see implementation of major tax measures in the next few months.

ASIA ORIENT: Disposes of Asia Standard Shares
---------------------------------------------
The Shareholders of Asia Orient Holdings Limited at the Special
General Meeting (SGM) held on Jan. 6, 2005 have approved the
Disposal of approximately 40.0 million Asia Standard Shares,
representing approximately 1.0% of the issued share capital of
Asia Standard.

On Jan. 24, 2005, the Company, through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, has disposed of 35,000,000 Asia Standard Shares,
representing approximately 0.852% of the issued share capital of
Asia Standard, resulting in the Group's interest in the existing
issued share capital of Asia Standard decreasing from
approximately 50.851% to approximately 49.999%.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief,
after having made all reasonable enquiries, the 35,000,000 Asia
Standard Shares were disposed of on market to parties who are
independent of the Company and any director, chief executive or
substantial shareholder of any member of the Group or any of
their respective Associates or any connected person of the
Company.

The Asia Standard Shares were disposed of for a consideration of
approximately HK$13,982,000, representing an average sale price
of approximately HK$0.399 per share. The sale price exceeds 90%
of the average closing price of the Asia Standard Shares for the
ten preceding trading days immediately prior to the date of the
disposal, being a condition of the Disposal approved by the
Shareholders.

As a result of this disposal, the Group will record a loss of
approximately HK$8,799,000 based on the net asset value of Asia
Standard and release of capital reserve related to this disposal
to be recorded in the Group's accounts. It is intended that the
net proceeds of the sale of approximately HK$13,933,000 will be
used to reduce the borrowings of the Group.

After this disposal, Asia Standard will be equity accounted for
as an associated Company of the Company and will no longer be
its subsidiary. Reasons for and the effects of the sale of Asia
Standard Shares As set out in the Circular, the principal reason
for proposing the Disposal is to reduce the Company's indirect
interest in Asia Standard so that on the completion of the
Disposal Asia Standard will cease to be a subsidiary of the
Company.

Asia Standard is a considerably larger Company than Asia Orient
in terms of net assets attributable to its ordinary shareholders
and market capitalization, and there is no group of closely
associated Shareholders holding more than 50% of the ordinary
shares in Asia Orient. Consequently, transactions, which Asia
Standard is permitted to conclude without the requirement under
the Listing Rules to obtain its shareholders' approval or obtain
such approval by the written consent of a majority of its
shareholders may require, depending on their size and nature,
the approval of shareholders of Asia Orient which can only be
obtained in general meeting.

This additional approval at the level of Asia Orient has been
reducing the flexibility of Asia Standard in entering into and
concluding transactions, particularly for transactions where the
speed of execution is essential if assets are to be acquired or
disposed of advantageously. This additional approval requirement
can be dispensed with now that Asia Standard has ceased to be a
subsidiary of Asia Orient.

CHINA AVIATION (S): Vows Fair Treatment for Small Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------
A business turnaround plan made by China Aviation Oil
Singapore's (CAO) restructuring task force ensures fair
treatment for the Company's minority shareholders, according to
Channel News Asia.

The CAO task force gave the assurance during Tuesday's meeting
with the Securities Investors Association of Singapore (SIAS).

The meeting was called to talk about matters related to minority
shareholders' interests following the announcement of CAO's debt
repayment plan on Monday.

The group discussed the pricing of new equity, which is feared
to lead to severe dilution in CAO shares, leaving existing
minority shareholders with an overly undervalued stock.

In its court document, CAO says the price will be determined by
its parent CAOH, the new investor and CAO itself, leaving
minority investors with no say in the matter.

However, SIAS confirmed that the CAO task force guaranteed that
the interests of minority shareholders will be kept a priority.

KRUNG THAI: BOT Needs More Time to Decide on Legal Action
---------------------------------------------------------
The Bank of Thailand (BOT) said it has not gathered enough
evidence to pinpoint who among the people involved in the
decision-making that led to the 12 doubtful loans in Krung Thai
Bank Public Company Limited (KTB) should be sued, according to
The Nation.

It will take two weeks for the central bank to decide on taking
legal action against the former directors as two to three of the
12 loans have been found to have irregularities.

However, the central bank is reportedly zeroing in on Suchai
Jaovidha, Viroj Nualkhair and Matchima Kunchorn, The three are
three former directors of KTB.  An investigation is also
currently being conducted and the findings will be unveiled at
the end of the month.

Apisak Tantivorawong, the bank's president, said it has not been
decided yet whether Krung Thai Bank or the central bank would
file any lawsuit.

KTB is currently in the process of restructuring the 12 loans.  
Around THB1 billion of the THB46 billion loans have turned to
performing, while THB6 billion will be repaid soon. The
remaining amount will take time to restructure, as they are
syndicated loans.
