[sustran] FEER infrastructure focus

[Paul Barter]

Dear sustran-discussers,

The March 26 edition of the Far Eastern Economic Review (pages 37 to 50)
has a "Focus on Asian Infrastructure".   There is analysis and up-to-date
news on the state of various large transport projects, especially in
Bangkok and Indonesia.    For example, on the three-tier toll road, light
rail and ordinary road project in Jakarta, 'the unnofficial .. word from
investment bankers is that the venture is "dead in the water" '     But in
Bangkok despite the halt to real-estate construction, many big
infrastructure projects, including expressways and some mass transit, are
still going ahead, even if more slowly than before.
