Just FYI: SWFs losses ???.
Most is wiped off in value into thin air with billion of losses, some into pocket not acct for....., many is taken up by bad social policies run by hook or by crook over a long period of time till it is not able to pay of their debt and many is doing over board. EG: - Like Temasick, so is GIsick.
Just shraing my personnal opinion, Perhap hope others care to elaborate better. tks
Beware of the bubble in bonds Fortune
Let's take time to analyze why a 3.2% Treasury yield is totally unsustainable, especially in the spreading shadow of inflation. Those yields comprise two parts: The "real rate" of interest and the "inflation premium." Corporate bonds have a third metric, the "risk premium," or an extra yield to compensate for the chance of a default -- it's big for junk bonds and narrow for top corporates. For Treasuries the risk of nonpayment is virtually zero, leaving just the first two factors.

Spain announcing big public sector wage cuts and took a dramatic initiative on its own, with Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapateo ordering a 5.0 percent public sector wage cut.
Ours - http://retrenchment-blog.breaking.sg/2009/01/nwc-reconvenes-cpf-cuts-inevitable/
Following the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, the NWC recommended that employer’s CPF contribution be reduced from 20 percent to 10 percent. The cut translated to an eight percent reduction in overall wages.
In October 2003 after the SARS crisis, CPF cuts were again used to help businesses stay afloat, with the rate reduced from 16 per cent to 13 per cent.
Unless doing so will indirectly help them solve their own problem, then it will be sensible to do it...
Because in this world, everything boils down to self-interest, and nothing else.
There is no exception to this principle...
It applies to every single entity in existence, (bar none!)...
China playing godfather to PIGS problem ??. wait long long. Will they start this ball rolling ??. EU all the while always side West not Easy to ask China just to come out with money to bail PIGS
Maybe put some money into IMF or Asia Development bank or in their investment institutional fund where they can have a major say or representative.
If they still lacks the money, China got money lar!! But, see how US and EU play the game - ie. to grant china the 'market economy status'. after all, china has already joined the WTO...
Now the card is on china side.

Greece needs nine billion euros by May 19 to meet debt repayments and its access to debt markets has effectively been cut off for weeks because of forbiddingly high rates demanded by buyers of Greek government bonds.
First pay out by....Greece on Tuesday will ask the EU and IMF for a first tranche of debt aid worth 20 billion euros (26 billion dollars), a finance ministry source told AFP.
A first instalment of the emergency loan package amounting to 14.5 billion euros from the EU and 5.5 billion euros from the IMF "should be available, possibly within the day," the ministry source said.

Noted: Spanish economy especially vulnerable to the global credit crunch because growth relied heavily on credit-fuelled domestic demand and a property boom boosted by easy access to loans that has collapsed. The socialist government announced a 50-billion-euro (66.5-billion-dollar) austerity package this year as part of its drive to slash public deficit from 11.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2009 to the eurozone limit of 3.0 percent by 2013.

Hong Kong's IPO market hits the brakes
A domino effect with the credit problems in Greece, Portugal, and the delayed Prudential offering. It did't give a revised date for those listings, which will add trading venues without issuing new shares.
The announcement came hours after Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng index fell Friday to its lowest level in three months, closing at 19,920.29 points as investors fretted about the spectre of a European fiscal implosion.
