LOLCs Green Paradise gets LKR100 mn facelift: LOLC Leisure [Subsidiary of Lanka Orix Leasing Company [LOLC: LKR64.0] ] plans to invest LKR100 mn to further develop the luxury Green Paradise Agro Eco Hotel, said Susantha Bandara, Resident Manager, Green Paradise Hotel.

[Source: www.dailynews.lk] PEOI: New Year uptick of optimism gone: The Perceived Economic Opportunity Index (PEOI) lost the welcome uptick in optimism in anticipation of the traditional New Year. The only positive change recorded for 2013 in March turned negative soon after the holidays. During the period of the survey there was some significant bad news on the economic front; an increase in electricity tariffs. It is very likely that this pending increase had an impact on the perceptions of the people. Whether the fall in optimism would turn around post the assurance of the President in his May Day message that the poorest consumers would be exempted for the hike or whether it would continue to fall will be seen next month. Indications, however, are that people are expecting cost of living to worsen. With the PEOI well below the midpoint of 2.0 and on a downward trend, it is time that policymakers take necessary steps to improve the confidence of the people, without which economic performance itself will suffer.

pipeline. The year so far has seen four firms raising LKR10.5 bn, whilst issues worth a further near LKR15 bn are in the offing. The best year for the listed corporate debt market was in 2010 with LKR15 bn raised and if most of the planned ones come through, 2013 will be a record high. As per value of issues done and slated, the figure stands at LKR25 bn. Analysts linked the resurgence in listed debt market to the Governments 2013 Budget exempting income tax on the interest income of corporate debt securities. This was to fasttrack the development of the corporate debt market. In the first quarter four issuers raised LKR10.5 bn, with Peoples Leasing and Finance coming with a mega issue of LKR6 bn. Others were Seylan Bank and Merchant Bank of Sri Lanka (LKR2 bn each) and Commercial Credit and Finance (LKR500 mn). [Source: www.ft.lk] IMF calls for second generation tax reforms: With the first generation of tax reforms failing to generate intended revenues, International Monetary Fund has urged authorities to bring about second generation of tax reforms focused on broadening the tax base through improved administration. Revenue growth has not responded as envisaged to a first round of tax reforms, undermining capital investment plans; despite recent appropriate price adjustments, state-owned enterprises remain prone to large losses; and the current account deficit remains elevated and financed mainly through debt-creating flows, IMF staff report noted. Comprehensive tax reforms were introduced in 2010 and 2011 to simplify the tax structure and broad base the tax system, under which corporate income tax was brought down from 35% to 28%; the VAT rate was unified at 12%; and certain other taxes were abolished. However, the pace and quality of fiscal adjustment fell short of ambitious plans, and tax rate reductions generally took precedence over base broadening, while costrecovery pricing at state-owned energy companies has yet to emerge, IMF staff report remarked.

China, India to be worlds two biggest investors by 2030: World Bank: The percentage of global investment that goes to developing countries should triple in the next two decades as emerging economies catch up to richer nations and become more integrated into financial markets, the World Bank predicted in a report last week. These nations and their comparatively younger and bigger populations are also set to become the largest sources of capital, with China and India turning into the worlds two biggest investors by 2030, the global development lender said. The shifting landscape of saving and investment has profound implications for everything from which currencies will dominate global markets to the rise of new financial centres, patterns of capital flows and investment priorities. But policymakers are still woefully unprepared for the changes, fixating instead on what will happen in the next three to six months, Kaushik Basu, the World Banks Chief Economist, said. Standard & Poors earlier this week predicted that Chinese non-financial companies will overtake US companies in their borrowing needs over the next two years. By 2030, for every dollar invested in the world, 60 cents will flow into developing countries, a dramatic change from 20 cents to Softlogic Equity Research Page | 6

the dollar in 2000. China will make up 30% of all investment activity, while the United States will have 11% and India, 7%. The numbers assume the world will grow on average 2.6% to 3% a year in the next two decades, while emerging economies will grow 4.8 to 5.6% a year. [Source: www.ft.lk]
China Home-Price Gains Signal Growth Challenge for Li: Chinas new-home prices rose last month in 68 of 70 cities tracked by the government, indicating Premier Li Keqiang will need to maintain efforts to cool the property market even as economic growth slows. Chinas policy makers are trying to avoid property bubbles and make homes more affordable while bolstering an economy that lost steam in the first quarter. Expanding a campaign against housing speculation could choke off real-estate development that is helping counter a slowdown in manufacturing investment and supporting demand for steel, cement and household goods. The government faces a dilemma, said Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Hong Kong. They have to make a choice between property prices and economic growth.
