The same brea dth of expanse and activity\, however\, is no less reflected in its sheer diversity on all levels. The issue of how to accommodate different trading interests\, given the varying levels of economic development and social a nd political systems\, is an important one that requires much discussion. Specifically\, how the region responds to the recent stalemate in the GATT Uruguay Rounds and the emergence of regional and bilateral economic arran gements will have substantial impact on the direction of the international trading system.\n\n\n\n\n0830 - 0940\n\n\nChair: \n\nMr. Kerrin Vautier\, Chair\, NZPEC\n\nSpeaker: \n\nDato’ Seri Rafidah Abdul Aziz\, Minister of International Trade and Industry\, Malaysia\n\nGeneral Discussion\n\n\n\n \n1215 - 1345\n\n\nLuncheon hosted by the Singapore Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (SFCCI)\n\n\n\n\n1345 - 1515\n\n\nSession III: T he Pacific Economic Outlook\n \;\nThe economic outlook for the Asia-Pa cific region will be discussed in the light of the major political and eco nomic events occurring in the world.

The dilemma will stimulat e interest in switching to regional sources of oil\, in switching to other local energy sources like gas or coal\, and in re-examining fuels such as nuclear power previously given a lower priority. At the same time\, conce rns about the regional and global environment impacts of growth will compl icate design of fuel switching strategies.\nThese developments pose big ch allenges for government and business in the Pacific.\nThey highlight issue s concerning the funding of the investment required in refinery capacity\, power generation and other infrastructure\, the role of the private secto r in contributing that investment\, the consequent importance of market-le d pricing policies\, the contradiction between environmental objectives an d supply security interests in the region\, the importance of the design o f sufficient exploration required and the encouragement to new suppliers\, such as the economies of IndoChina or the Soviet Far East.\n \;\nChai r: \n\nSir Russell Madigan\, Chair\, AUSPECC\n\n \;\nSpeakers: \n\nMr. Suyitno Patmosukismo\, Director-General\, Oil and Gas Ministry of Mines a nd Energy\, Republic of Indonesia\nProfessor Mitsuru Miyata\, Senior Manag ing Director\, Institute of Energy Economics\, Japan\n\nGeneral Discussion \n\n\n\n\n1930\n\n\nDinner hosted by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Community Development and Mrs Wong Kan Seng\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\ , May 21\n\n\n\n\n0845 - 0930\n\n\nSession V: Statements by the New Member s\nChair:\n\nDr. Thanat Khoman\, Chair\, TNCPEC\n\nSpeakers:\n\nMr. Edmund o Vargas\, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs\, Chile\nMr. Joseph Wong\, D eputy Secretary for Trade and Industry\, Hong Kong\nHE Mr. Fernando Solana \, Minister of Foreign Affairs\, Mexico\nEng.

While US investments have alwa ys been substantial\, the increase in capital outflows from Japan and the Asian NIEs are a major factor in the export boom of the ASEAN countries. A t the same time\, volatility in the stock market\, bank closures\, debt an d other problems have spill-over effects on company performance and the bu siness in general.
