The Indonesian Ministry of Finance will buy back Friday treasury bonds maturing between 2008 and 2013 to ease selling pressure in the market, an official said."This is an effort to stabilize the market," Rahmat Waluyanto, the ministry's director-general of debt management, told Thomson Financial.Waluyanto would not reveal the amount of bonds the government can afford to buy back.He said bonds maturing between 2008 and 2013 amounted to 210 trillion rupiah ($22.78 billion).Waluyanto said the recent selling in the bond market had coincided with heavy losses in stock markets."I guess the sell-off is temporary, due to panicky reactions. When the market is weak, any negative news could trigger sell-offs," he said.He said investors might have been worried about the state budget. The government ha

Treasury Secretary Paulson announced sweeping changes to US currency today including that the US Treasury was prepared to bring back the $500 Bill, and perhaps even the $1000 as a measure to get consumers buying again."Let's be frank," the Secretary said, "the dollar doesn't buy what it used to, and therefore either does the $100. When we last printed the $500 and the $1000, the $100 was worth $867 in today's dollars, and that gap continues to grow. Already we have a currency gap with the rest of the world. The 500 Euro bill has been available since the Euro inception and the 100 British pound note is worth more then $200 US. "We can ill afford American's being treated a second class citizens abroad.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson agrees with both the Bush Administration (of which he is a part) and Republication presumptive nominee John McCain that the government should stay out of the housing market and let the market dictate where prices will fall. From an L.A. Times article:Housing prices need to fall further to permit shell-shocked housing markets to stabilize and policy-makers should not interfere with that process, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said on Wednesday..."A correction was inevitable and the sooner we work through it, with a minimum of disorder, the sooner we will see home values stabilize, more buyers return to the housing market, and housing will again contribute to economic growth," he said. Despite calls to "do something about housing," the focus should be on

JIMBARAN, Indonesia - Weak housing and credit markets are challenging U.S. growth, but the economy is fundamentally sound, senior U.S. Treasury officials said on Tuesday.In separate remarks in Bali and London, the officials said they expected the weak housing market to penalize growth, but said the United States would avoid recession in 2008."The housing market is very difficult right now, it's declined significantly. The credit markets are also very challenging," Treasury Under Secretary for International Affairs David McCormick told Reuters on the sidelines of U.N. climate change talks on the Indonesian island of Bali."The underlying economy remains strong, although those challenges I mentioned will certainly penalize our growth in the fourth quarter and the coming course of 2008," McCormick said, adding that the Treasury believes the economy will continue to grow and inflation remains under control.David Nason, the Treasury's assistant secretary for financial institutions, said in

The U.S. Treasury Department has designated 15 of the top commanders of the Colombian narco-terrorist group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (or FARC), under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.

This is the latest in a number of measures targeting FARC over the past 10 years. In March 2006,...(read more)

At first blush, some may find it easy to shrug off today's Treasury sanctions on Iran as not being meaningful on the ground that these designations are unilateral by the United States and so far have not been joined by any other country.

Treasury two-year notes rose the most since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as credit-market losses increased speculation the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates this month. Futures traded on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday suggested a 92 percent chance the Fed will reduce the target rate for overnight lending between banks a quarter percentage point to 4.5 percent on Oct. 31, compared with 32 percent odds a week earlier. Bank of America Corp., the second-largest U.S. bank, said Oct. 18 that earnings fell 32 percent, while Citigroup Inc., the biggest, on Oct. 15 reported a 57 percent decline in profit. Wachovia Corp. yesterday said net income fell 10 percent after write-downs for mortgage-backed securities and loans for leveraged buyouts. Anytime futures are suggesting a 92% chance that the fed will reduce rates, then it is a good call to assume that they are correct. As the amount of default on adjustable rate mortgages are increasing due to increased rates, one of the o

It appears as if the US Treasury expects a fallout in the derivatives market. Anthony Ryan, the Treasury's assistant secretary for financial markets, said on Wednesday that investors and their fiduciaries must do a better job of evaluating the risks of increasingly complex securitized derivatives products, Reuters reported.Addressing an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) conference in New York Ryan reminded his audience on the differences between investing and gambling.Insufficient understanding or failure to perform an independent and adequate due diligence prior to making an investment decision is simply unacceptable. That's not investing - that's gambling.In clear language I assume it means something along the lines of "it is your fault when you bought illiquid crap."According to Ryan the Presidents Working Group on Financial Markets, also dubbed the "Plunge Protection Team," has launched an examination of recent market turmoil, including the impact of securit

SiCKO, which will be seen in theaters this summer, will expose the health care industry’s greed and control over America’s political processes. I believe that the decision to conduct this investigation represents the latest example of the Bush Administration abusing the federal government for raw, crass, political purposes. Over the last seven years of the Bush Presidency, we have seen the abuse of government to promote a political agenda designed to benefit the conservative base of the Republican Party, s

From CBC News SHANGHAI (AP) - When U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson makes a pitch Thursday for China to drop barriers to trade, he'll be doing so from the gleaming Shanghai Futures Exchange, where only a handful of commodity futures are traded, by local brokers.The setting illustrates the progress and limitations in China's ambitions become a world financial power. Just last week, the country's growing heft in international markets hit home when a nine per cent drop in Shanghai triggered declines around the globe.But China needs to do far more to open its financial sector and underdeveloped capital markets, for the sake of its own well-being and global stability, Paulson said in comments in Tokyo this week.Paulson met Wednesday in Beijing with Chinese Vice-Premier Wu Yi, a former trade minister, China's most powerful woman and a key point person for dealings with Washington.Paulson did not make any public comments in Beijing, but in Tokyo on Tuesday he told Japanese officials

The UK Treasury had hit back at claims by Ryanair that the recent doubling of APD, being dubbed skyway robbery, is being used as a cover to increase Government tax take.

What I would have liked to hear is a clear statement that all the additional revenue will be used for projects relating to the environment. The current statement is so vague and could cover spending a only a small percentage of the increased revenue on environmental priorities.
