  5. BAGHDAD -- Iraqi lawmakers have unanimously approved a new government to be headed by incumbent Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The long-awaited vote on the new government ends nine months of political deadlock after an inconclusive parliament election in March. Lawmakers approved a total of 29 ministers including al-Maliki to form the new government. The remainder of the 42-member Cabinet is made up of acting ministers for now. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/12/21/iraqi-lawmakers-approve-new-government/

  7. BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Iraqi Parliament’s 14th session was opened on Tuesday afternoon, with the attendance of Prime Minister Designate, Nouri Al-Maliki, to vote on his new cabinet, a media source in the Parliament said. “The Session began, after citing verses from the Holy Quran, with a speech by former Prime Minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, to be followed by another speech by al-Iraqiya Leader, Iyad Allawi, and Kurdistan Coalition’s Representative, Fuad Maasoum, and the citing of the report of the special committee, asigned to prepare the new cabinet’s rogram and then PM Designate Maliki’s call on his cabinet’s candidates for voting on them; and after that the new cabinet members would read the constitutional oath. The PM and the Parliament’s Speaker will deliver their speeches,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. The Parliament’s session was also attended by the U.S. Ambassador, former PM Jaafari and Chairman of the Supreme Islamic Council, Ammar al-Hakim. Prime Minister Designate Maliki had announced that he would site the names of his new cabinet ministers and his government’s program to the Parliament session for voting on Tuesday, saying that he had managed to present the names of his candidate ministes for the Parliament’s Speaker on Monday night, within the defined constitutional period. Noteworthy is that the defined constitional period to present the cabinet’s candidates by the Prime Minister Designate and his government’s program would end on 25/12/2010, following the assignment of the Iraqi President, Jalal Talabani, on 25/11/2010, the candidate of the largest Parliamentary bloc, Nouri al-Maliki, with the mission of forming the new cabinet. http://en.aswataliraq.info/?p=139951

  10. Vietnam dong likely to strengthen in 2012 VietFinanceNews.com - The U.S. dollar on Wednesday rose by VND100 to VND21,300 on the unofficial market. Earlier, while the U.S. dollar was depreciating against other currencies, it strengthened against the Vietnamese dong. Louis Taylor, new CEO of Standard Chartered Bank in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, spoke with The Saigon Times Daily about issues relating to exchange and interest rates. Excerpts: Why has the dong been falling against the dollar year after year? - Economic theory suggests countries that run consistent trade deficits will see currency devaluation. Although Vietnam’s trade deficit has generally been offset by foreign investment and remittances from Vietnamese abroad, it is expected to stay at or above its current level for the next few years, because Vietnam is in the middle of building up its major infrastructure. This expectation is mainly what is keeping pressure on the currency. Another element is people’s expectation of inflation in Vietnam, which has been relatively high in the recent past. So how about the future of the dong? - Under Standard Chartered’s own forecast, the Vietnam dong is to see moderate depreciation through 2011 to around 20,800 per dollar. However, we believe that there may be some mild strengthening of the Vietnam dong in 2012 as Vietnam’s growth attracts foreign investors back into the country. What tools does the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) have at the moment to stabilize the exchange rate? - The State Bank of Vietnam has demonstrated its ability to alter interest rates to reflect market conditions, and this remains a key policy tool in determining pressures in the foreign exchange market. Measures to discourage hoarding of U.S. dollars or gold would also have an impact on the value of the Vietnam dong. If the SBV can successfully reduce expectations of currency depreciation and of inflation, then that is likely to stabilize the currency. As the dollar interest rate in Vietnam is so high, at up to 5% per year, is it possible foreign capital will flow into Vietnam because of this high rate? - The high rates some banks are offering for dollar deposits are only available to individuals, and not to the corporations or institutional investors who manage large amounts of money. So it is difficult to see large volumes of dollars coming to Vietnam from foreign individuals. However, the rates may encourage Vietnamese workers abroad to send more dollars back to Vietnam. What’s your view on the current rate hike race among local banks? Should the central bank intervene? - The deposit rate hike by local banks is derived from several factors. One is to ensure prudent levels of liquidity that banks will need to comply with the introduction of Circular 13. Also, the new Credit Institution Law requires banks to increase their capital to a minimum of VND3 trillion, and to make efficient use of this capital banks will need to grow their deposit base as well as their assets. So the rate hike by banks is linked to the SBV’s measures to ensure a healthy and safe banking system. The rate hike by the SBV also partially addresses the issue of the foreign exchange rate for the Vietnam dong, as well as the anticipation of high inflation. To create stability in the value of the dong, tightening monetary policy is the right decision. When the dong interest rate is too low, people will tend to spend, spurring inflation. Low interest rates also make it cheap for people to buy and hold on to the U.S. dollar, which undermines the value of the Vietnam dong.
