   So inflation at 5.3pc and interest on govt bonds at 3%, with a govt target of 4%. How could they resist? Asian tiger don’t you know, all eyes of hope on China.

       I do think there’s a place for this. People in the financial sector probably don’t want to string together long posts but might give a summary in this form.

   Not surprisingly, a large number of the students showed no significant progress on tests of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing

   Not surprising at all.

   Should the “15 minute” inflationary conundrum continue to express itself, and China be forced to rise rates even longer, very soon the country, just like the US to which it is pegged monetarily, will also be unable to raise any incremental capital.

   Yet the cost of living is so low there.
