Chinese banks to be punished for risky lending
AFP, Be/JIng
China has issued a rare warning that it will impose curbs on banks unless they beef up their defences against bad loans as Beijing tries to put the brakes on a massive lendingspree.
Banks that fail to comply will face "restrictions on market access, overseas Investment, and outlets and business expansion," the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) said in a statement posted on its website late Monday.
The warning comes after the nation's banks lent a record amount of money this year following government calls to boost the economy in the face of the global financial meltdown.
China's banking laws have set the capital adequacy ratio -- the amount of capital banks must hold against their risk - at a minimum of eight percent.
The prospect of the regulator baring its teeth as it tries to control credit sent the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down by3.5 percent at its close TYiesday, the biggest single-day fall in nearly three months.
It also had an impact on the Hong Kong bourse, which ended the day 1.53 percent lower.
Indonesian minister defends bank bailout

Indonesia’s finance minister and central bank chief on Tuesday defended a 704-million-dollar lifeline thrown to a failed lender which has become the centre of the country's latest graft scandal.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati and former Bank Indonesia (BI) governor Boediono, now Indonesia's vice-president, have come under fire for their roles in authorising the 6.7-trillion-rupiah bailout late last year.
Indonesia's Supreme Audit Agency head Hadi Poemomo, presenting a report Monday on the bailout of Che lender, Bank Century, said there were strong indications of "violations" and recommended a full investigation.
But Indrawati repeated the government’s assertions that the rescue package was essential to prevent "systematic risk” to the economy during the global financial crisis.
"Our focus at the time was to avoid another crisis. Indonesia had been in a crisis before which was prompted by collapsing banks," she told reporters. "We didn't want the contagion effect this time.”
German firms see brighter future ahead: Survey
AFP, Berlin
German business confidence surged in November, a closely-watched survey showed on Tuesday, fuelling hopes that Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse, could lead the continent out of recession.
The survey, by the Ifo institute, showed business sentiment rose to 93.9 from 92.0, the eighth successive rise and the highest level since August 2008.
It was also better than expected, with economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires expecting a rise to 92.6 points.
"The German economy continues on the road to recovery," said the institute's president Hans-Werner Sinn, in a statement.
The positive news followed data from the national statistics office confirming that German growth was gingerly returning after the country suffered its deepest recession for six decades.
Temasek announces $433m bond offer plan
AFP, Singapore
State-linked Singapore investment firm Temasek Holdings on Tuesday said it plans to raise 600 million Singapore dollars (433 million US) from new bond offerings.
The latest news follows an announcement in October that the firm would raise 1.5 billion US dollars through a 10-year bond offer under a capital raising programme worth 5.0 billion US dollars.
Temasek said in a statement the bond offerings, to be made in two tranches of 300 million dollars each, would be issued by its wholly owned subsidiary Temasek Financial.
"The issuer intends to provide the net proceeds from the offering to Temasek and its investment holding companies to fund their ordinary course of business," the investment vehicle said in a statement.
"The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Temasek," it said.
