China Brings Back Bond Futures
September 6, 2013--In 1995, the same week that a rogue trader brought down venerable British bank Barings PLC, a $10 billion trading scandal erupted in China's bond futures market, taking down the country's biggest brokerage.
Chinese authorities shut down trading in bond futures and spent two and a half years sorting through the mess.
Now, 18 years later, China is reopening the market as it pushes ahead with a broad set of financial reforms aimed at modernizing its capital markets and easing state control over interest rates.

High Logistics Costs Impede Higher Economic Growth For Indonesia, Says Joint Report
September 6, 2013--September 6, 2013--High logistics costs are a serious impediment to higher economic growth for Indonesia, according to a report launched today by Bandung's Institute of Technology in West Java, in partnership with the World Bank.
"The costs of logistics across Indonesia account for some 24 per cent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), higher than in neighboring countries. Cutting down costs and improving the quality of logistics and transport systems would vastly improve Indonesia's access to international markets and increase trade," says Henry Sandee, a senior trade specialist at the World Bank.
