Asian stocks tumble

AFP, Hong Kong
Asian stock markets tumbled Tuesday as fears of a painful global recession were reinforced after US banking giant Citigroup slashed 50,000 jobs and the financial crisis showed no sign of easing.
A day after Japan announced it was officially in recession its economics minister said he had "no confidence at all" that the world's second biggest economy would recover any time soon.
Tokyo's Nikkei index lost 2.28 percent, while Hong Kong, which announced it was in recession Friday, dived 4.5 percent and Sydney lost 3.6 percent.
The losers were led by Shanghai, which plummeted 6.31 percent due to profit-taking following four days of strong gains on the back of optimism generated by the announcement of Beijing's 586 billion dollar
stimulus package last week.
Seoul slid 3.9 percent and Singapore 3.26 percent as regional markets took their cue from a big sell-off on Wall Street overnight. Taipei hit a five-year low after drop • ping3.03 percent.
TYade was thin as dealers stayed cautious before a Congressional hearing in Washington this week where US Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will give testimony on the 700 billion dollar financial bailout.
Dealers were also looking for good news after the G20 meeting of rich and emerging nations at the weekend failed to come up with any concrete plans to ease the global meltdown.
"Market eyes are on global recession fears," Kazuhiro Takahashi, general manager at Daiwa Securities SMBC, said.
"The financial summit has left the impression that economic stimulus mea-
sures are unlikely to get into gear,"Takahashi added.
Concerns over the future of the world economy were battered after Citigroup said it was to get rid of 50,000 --about 20 percent -- of its staff worldwide compared with a peak level of 375,000 in late 2007.
Banking giant HSBC said it had cut 450 staff in Hong Kong in anticipation of a deteriorating global economy.
In Japan, Economic and Fiscal Policy Minister Kaoru Yosano told reporters: "In reality we see few factors that would contribute to positive growth" in the fiscal year starting next April.
"If I judge what is happening honestly, I have no confidence at all now that there will be positive growth."
Markets were well down elsewhere in the region, with Mumbai, Manila, Jakarta and Bangkok all losing more than three percent.
