There are many sub sessions in this market such as residential session, office session, retail session, etc. Although being concentrated in high demand parts, residential session in Ho Chi Minh City last year still was not really recovered.

Finance and business questions and answers.
. If the spot rate for British pounds is 0.57 pounds equals 1 US $, and the annual interest rate on fixed rate one-year deposits of pounds is 3.5% and for US$ is 2.5%, what is the ten-month forward rate for one dollar in terms of pounds? Assuming the same interest rates, what is the 18-month forward rate for one pound in dollars? Is this an indirect or a direct rate? If the forward rate is an accurate predictor of exchange rates, in this case will the pound get stronger or weaker against the dollar? What does this indicate about the market's inflation expectations in the UK compared to the US? Spot rate for $1 = 0.57 pounds Fixed interest rate for pounds = 3.5% Interest rate for US dollars = 2.5% Ten month forward rate is calculated as Forward exchange rate = Spot price * [(1+foreign interest rate) / (1 + Base interest rate)]^n = 0.57 * [ (1 + 0.035) / (1+0.025)]^(10/12) = 0.57 * [ 1.0097] ^0.833 = 0.57 * 1.0080 = 0.57456 Spot rate for $1 = 0.57 pounds Pound = $1.754 Forward exchange rate for 18 months = $1.754 * [ (1 + 0.025) / (1+0.035)]^(18/12) = $1.754 * [ 0.99] ^1.5 = $1.754 * 0.985 1 Pound = $1.7277 This is a direct rate because in quoting a foreign exchange rate it is quoted as the domestic currency per unit of the foreign currency. If the forward rate is an exact predictor of the exchange rate, then the pound will becomes stronger against dollars as

STAFFING 13 CONCLUSION 15 INFORMATION SOURCE 16 INTRODUCTION "In Nineteen Ninety-three, Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington rocked the realm of political theory. In an article for Foreign Affairs and a subsequent book, Huntington predicted that after the Cold War, global conflicts would no longer focus on ideologies, such as capitalism or communism. Rather, he said, the world would likely return to old battles rooted in culture. The looming possibilities of a clash of civilizations would define the future"1.
