China's foreign exchange reserves hit US$818.9 billion at the end of December. It is almost level-pegging Japan's US$824 billion.” Bloomberg Concern about 'sovereign wealth funds' spreads to Washington August 20, 2006 “WASHINGTON - The size of Sovereign Wealth Funds is approximately $2.5 trillion in assets, which exceeds the sum invested by the world's hedge funds. Morgan Stanley projected that these investment funds could grow to a staggering $17.5 trillion in 10 years. At a time of global financial instability, the Bush administration has started to worry and has started is pressing the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to examine the behavior of these funds.” Herald Tribune Red Sky in the Morning – Sailors Warning!

Competitive Environment in the Region (Cont’d ) • Commercial banks are the dominant financial institutions in the region, with finance companies, mortgage banks, national pension schemes, development banks, insurance companies, and credit unions having small shares • Financial penetration (loans / GDP) is relatively high in the Caribbean and Central America (average slightly above 40% compared to 26% for Latin America countries), except for Haiti (~15%) • Trinidad & Tobago’s financial penetration (loans/GDP) is 39% • Financial penetration is an important measure of the level of development of the financial sector of an economy
