  Eddie Wong, chief Asian economist for ABN AMRO Asia Ltd, agrees, writing in a November analysis of Asian economies that any global slowdown will not derail the Asian recovery.Although we expect US economic growth to lose momentum towards the middle of next year, the global environment will remain generally favorable to regional equities, he writes, with interest rates remaining at their current low levels, sustaining US dollar weakness and driving more capital back to Asia.A major domestic demand recovery should exceed current expectations, he continues.
  
  Employment trends have also been modestly supportive of household consumption in the region, he writes.

  "Singapore's policy at the moment is to keep business costs low to attract foreign investments," said Eddie Wong, Dutch bank ABN Amro's chief Asian strategist in Hong Kong.
  
  "I will expect the status quo to remain... it will not be changed overnight because of the change in PM," he said.Lee's other challenge is to find new growth drivers for Singapore's economy, whose dependence on external trade has left the city-state vulnerable to any slack in the global economy, Wong said.
  
  "Where's the growth area of Singapore and where can future growth come from?"Wong said."I think these are the key issues facing the (new) prime minister," he said.

  Eddie Wong, ABN AMRO's Head of Asian Equity Strategy, believes the austerity measures employed by China to curb high rates of investment and economic growth have not gone far enough and that future performance could be undermined by weaknesses in the corporate sector.
  
  "Our key concern is not the real growth in the economy.It is more corporate-related, in particular a build-up in excess capacity, margins squeeze, a drop in corporate earnings, an increase in account receivables and a rise in non-performing loans," he said.
  
  "We forecast Chinese GDP in 2005 will be 8.5% and the People's Bank of China one-year benchmark lending rate will rise another 27bps by year end to 5.85%," he added.
