Lessons from Central Europe.
by: Edward Hugh August 16, 2009
The non-biblical concept of original sin, as Claus Vistesen notes in this post, when propounded in its standard Obstfeld & Krugman textbook version refers to the situation where many developing economies who are not able to borrow in their own currencies feel forced to denominate large parts of their sovereign and private sector debt in non-domestic currencies in order to attract capital from foreign investors - as evidenced most recently in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Well, piling insult upon injury, I'd like to take Claus's point a little further, and do so by drawing on another well tried and tested weapon from the Krugman armory, the idea of the "eternal triangle".
As is evident, the reality which lies behind the current crisis in the EU10 is complex, and has its origin in a variety of causes. But one key factor has undoubtedly been the decisions the various countries took when thinking about their monetary policy and currency regimes. The case of the legendary euro "peggers" - the three Baltic countries and Bulgaria - has been receiving plenty of media attention on late, and two of the remaining six (Slovenia and Slovakia) are now members of the Eurozone, but what of the other four, Romania, Hungary, Poland and The Czech Republic? What can be learnt from the experience of these countries in the present crisis.
Well, one convenient way of thinking about what just happened could be to use Nobel Economist Paul Krugman’s Eternal Triangle” model (see his summary here), which postulates that when it comes to tensions within the strategic trio formed by exchange rate policy, monetary policy, and international liquidity flows, maintaining control over any one implies a loss of control in one of the other two.
In the case of the Central Europe "four", Poland and the Czech Republic opted for maintaining their grip on monetary policy, thus accepting the need for their currency to "freefloat" and move according to the ebbs and flows of market sentiment. As it turns out this decision has served them remarkably well, since the real appreciation in their currencies which accompanied the good times helped take some of the sting out of inflation, while their ability to rapidly reduce interest rates into the downturn has lead to currency depreciation, helping to sustain exports and avoid deflation related issues.
The other two countries (Hungary and Romania), to a greater or lesser degree prioritised currency stability, and as a result had to sacrifice a lot of control over monetary policy, in the process exposing themselves to the risk of much more violent swings in market sentiment when it comes to capital flows. Having been pushed by the logic of their currency decision towards tolerating higher inflation, they have seen the competitiveness of their home industries gradually undermined, and as a consequence found themselves pushed into large current account deficits for just as long the market was prepared to support them, and into sharp domestic contractions once they were no longer disposed so to do.
A second problem which stems from this "initial decision" has been the tendency for households in the latter two countries to overload themselves with unhedged forex loans, a move which stems to some considerable extent from the currency decision, since in order to stabilise the currency, the central banks have had to maintain higher than desirable interest rates, which only reinforced the attractiveness of borrowing in forex, which in turn produced lock-in at the central bank, since it can no longer afford to let the currency slide due to the balance sheet impact on households. Significantly the forex borrowing problem is much less in Poland than it is in Hungary or Romania, and in the Czech Republic it is nearly non-existent.
The third consequence of the decision to loosen control on domestic monetary policy has been the need to tolerate higher than desirable inflation, a necessity which was also accompanied by a predisposition to do so (which had its origin in the erroneous belief that the lions share of the wage differential between West and Eastern Europe is an “unfair” reflection of the region’s earlier history, and essentially a market distortion). The result has been, since 2005, a steady increase in unit wage costs with an accompanying loss of competitiveness, and an increasing dependence on external borrowing to fuel domestic consumption.
So, if we look at the current state of economic play in the four countries, we find two of them (Hungary and Romania) undergoing very severe economic contractions - to such a degree that in both cases the IMF has had to be called in. At the same time both of them are still having to "grin and bear" higher than desirable inflation and interest rates. In the other two countries the contraction is milder, the financial instability less dramatic, and both inflation and domestic interest rates are much lower. Really, looked at in this light, I think there can be little doubt who made the best decision.
Appendix
Here for comparative purposes are charts illustrating the varying degrees of economic contraction, inflation, and interest rates. GDP contraction rates actually present a little problem at the moment, since one of the relevant countries - Poland - still has to report. However Michal Boni, chief adviser to the Prime Minister, told the newspaper Dziennik this week that the economy expanded at an annual rate of between 0.5% and 1% in Q1. So lets take the lower bound as good, it is still an expansion.
The economy in the Czech Republic contracted by an estimated 4.9% year on year in the second quarter.
The Hungarian economy contracted by an estimated 7.4% year on year in Q2.
While the Romanian economy contracted by an estimated 8.8% year on year.
Inflation Rates
Poland's CPI rose by an annual 4.2% in July.
The CPI in the Czech Republic rose by an annual 0.3% in July.
Romania's CPI rose by an annual 5.1% in July.
Poland's CPI rose by an annual 5.1% in July.
Interest Rates
The benchmark central bank interest rate in Poland is currently 3.5%.
The benchmark central bank interest rate in the Czech Republic is currently 1.25%.
The benchmark central bank interest rate in Romania is currently 8.5%.
The benchmark central bank interest rate in Hungary is currently 9.5%.
PDL BioPharma: High Dividend Biotech Stock.
by: Double Dividend Stocks August 17, 2009
When measured by its dividend, PDL BioPharma, (PDLI), stands out as one of the best stocks to buy in the biotech field. In fact, it's one of only four dividend paying stocks in this sub-sector.
Biotech is a group which isn't normally favored by income investors, due not only to its lack of high dividend stocks, but also due to its lack of many dividend stocks at all, not to mention its members' earnings and price roller coaster rides.
What makes PDLI different from the rest of the biotechs? They recently spun off their biotech business into a separate stock, Facet Biotech, (FACT), which leaves PDLI functioning as a royalty-collecting operation for its 7 "antibodies" patents, which it licenses to some very large firms, such as Wyeth (WYE), Elan (ELN), and Genentech (DNA).
These patents expire in 2013-2014, which some analysts say makes PDLI akin to a fixed-term 5-year investment. The future income streams from these royalties is over $1.3 billion, well in excess of the current market $1.01 billion market cap, and this estimate doesn't even account for any revenue growth.
PDLI recently upped its 2009 revenue guidance to the $310-$325 million range, and also increased its 2009 net income target by over 7%, ($200-$215 million); and its 2009 cash generation target by over 8%, ($285-$300 million).
PDLI closed at $8.47 Friday, 8/14/09, giving it a current dividend yield of 11.7%, which towers above the other 3 dividend stocks in the biotech group. The current mean analyst EPS estimate for 2009 is $1.21, and $1.33 for 2010, well above PDLI's $1.00/share annual dividend payout. The next semi-annual dividend payment will be $.50/share, payable to shareholders of record as of Sept. 17, 2009.
PDLI: 6 months ended 6/30/09 vs. 6/30/08
PDLI vs. Biotech Industry
Negative issues facing PDLI are:
A lawsuit brought by a PDLI customer, MedImmune, who, after paying PDLI royalties for over 10 years, is now suing to try to stop paying royalties. PDLI has settled similar lawsuits in the past, with minimal monetary consequences.
Two $250 convertible notes, the first due in 2012, and the second in 2023. The 2023 holders hold a put option which they may exercise at $8.08 in 2010, which would increase the share count by 25%, which may, in turn, cause the dividend yield to decrease.
In addition to having the highest dividend in biotech, PDLI also has a very low PEG ratio of .27, which supports the argument that investors are getting a strong, uncommon mix of a supportable high dividend, AND cheap growth.

How Will We Know When the Economy Is on Solid Footing?
by: Mark Thoma August 16, 2009
One question I am asked fairly often is how we will know when the economy turns the corner and we are on our way to a solid recovery. My answer is that we will be able to detect upticks in the data, though this may come with a bit of a lag, the important but harder task will be to understand why the data are showing improvement.
In order to be convinced that the economy is on solid footing and headed to better times, I will want to see several things. First, though not necessarily foremost, that banks are being recapitalized with private sector funds, and that this is happening without the aid of government guarantees or other such programs that encourage capital infusions (which is hard to determine while the government programs are in place). Second, I will want to see private sector non-residential investment improving, another sign that private sector funds are moving back into circulation. Presently, this hasn't even started heading back upward, though there are signs the decline is slowing.
And there are other important factors too, e.g. consumption rebounding (though not to pre-crisis debt sustained levels), stabilization in housing markets, and so on. The point is that a self-sustaining recovery will require that the private sector be the primary driver of new economic activity, and that is what I will be looking for.
Once the economy does start to recover, the hard but critical part will be to determine how much of the recovery is self-sustaining (as it will be if private sector funds are driving the activity), and how much is being driven by government stimulus programs. If the recovery is self-sustaining, and we are fairly certain of that, then we can begin to carefully wind down the government programs supporting the economy. But if the recovery is mostly due to government stimulus and there is little sign that the financial and real sectors are attracting robust levels of private sector funds, then pulling back on government programs could be disastrous and plunge the economy right back into recession. In fact, in such a case, we may need to provide even more stimulus to fully bridge the gap until the private sector can support the economy on its own.
So, in answer to the question, we will have a pretty good idea when the economy turns the corner, but it will take a while to determine why, and we cannot risk pulling back on government programs until we are sufficiently certain that the private sector can support normal economic activity without the government's help.

WLSA ~ Global Populations to Accelerate Demands for Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy.
by: James Rickman August 10, 2009
Today, the United States is addicted to oil consuming over 22% annually of the world’s total oil production or 19 million barrels per day. Yet the U.S. maintains only 4.5% of the world’s population, a minute fraction in comparison.
The sources of energy can be non-renewable fossil fuels including oil, coal, natural gas or renewable energy alternatives such as wind and hydro turbines, PV solar cells, and new bio-fuels such as algae, jatropha or palm oil. Regardless of where energy is derived it always equals economic power for the increasing populations worldwide.
By 2025, the world will add another 1.4 billion people creating an energy hungry workforce of the nearly 700 million new middle class people. China alone represents 350 million with India adding 100 million to the total emerging middle class population. The rapid growth will almost triple worldwide energy demands within the next 15 years.
In order to clearly understand the urgency behind the “peak oil” issue it is useful to examine that despite trillions of dollars in debt, currently the United States still imports two-thirds of its oil at a cost that has reached over $400 billion per year. Much of it is from politically unstable regions including South America, Africa and the Middle East; countries that control 55% of world oil supplies.
Let’s also consider the fact that the majority of oil wells today have reached their “peak production”. Already we find examples, as last year Mexican oil producer Cantarell’s production fell about 9.6% every quarter. In the third-quarter, Cantarell produced less than 1 million barrels daily for the first time. As recently as 2005, the Gulf of Mexico field has been producing more than 2 million barrels per day. This declining production due to aging oil wells adds economic stress resulting in less revenue. This threatened 40% of the Mexican government budget. The implications for the U.S. are potentially significant. Mexico once provided on average 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, making it the third-biggest supplier after Canada Athabasca Oil Sands and Saudi Arabia.
It is relatively straight forward to calculate that from the existing aging oil well data the world petroleum production life cycle by 2011 will have reach “peak oil” with production declining in the following years. Therefore, a steady decline in oil output worldwide will be unable to cost effectively meet the exploding middle class population needs driving up the overall price of energy and commodities.
For example between 2002 to 2035 the major oil producing countries will have seen output declines as follows; Canada (-62%), Mexico (-92%), USA (-90%), Brazil (-64%), Venezuela (-46%), Former Soviet Union (-70%), Iran (-62%), Iraq (-45%), Kuwait (-44%), Oman (-81%), Qatar (-82%), Saudi Arabia (-48%), UAE (-65%), Nigeria (-69%), Libya (-78%), China (-63%) and Indonesia (-71%).
Where do we find enough resources to meet the world’s energy demands?
The answer lies in developing a mix of renewable energy sources including wind, solar, hydro and bio-fuels that also complements sensitive global environmental warming issues requiring less carbon based, cleaner sustainable sources. The challenge now is to manufacture and deliver alternative energy via efficient grid networks or infrastructures at cost competitive prices in comparison with oil, coal, or gas non-renewable sources.
Over the past 12 months, the ability to further develop these clean renewable technologies has attracted over $155 billion of R&D investment capital worldwide. The clean energy market has seen annual growth between 20% - 35% within niche sectors. Particularly wind and hydro turbines, PV solar cell and new bio-fuels such as African palm oil and algae are receiving significant and increasing capital.
For example, China has a $2 trillion surplus and has already launched its stimulus plans to spend $558 billion including a large portion of money targeted in renewable-energy projects. The Chinese goal is 100 GW of wind power by 2020.
China’s wind capacity is expected to grow 200% by 2012. That’s more than twice the estimates for the United States. China’s year-to-year growth average is already over 30% for the wind turbine energy sector. And to top it all off, China is working with German and U.S. manufacturers on 34 new wind farms planned between now and 2014, several are already under construction.
By 2012, China’s solar power capacity is set to increase by 255%, thus achieving 37% annualized growth average. China is already building a 100-megawatt solar power station, the world’s largest. China, U.S. and Germany are now the global leaders in thin photovoltaic solar cell manufacturing. Since 2006, China alone has already spent over $180 billion dollars to develop renewable energy sources.
What’s more is that China’s automobile ownership population is set to grow within 15 years by more than 350 million with India at 100 million new vehicles demanding greater energy. Both countries are already investing billions of dollars in hybrid electric vehicles manufacturing, smart grid networks and battery technologies.
Think about it. The world currently consumes about 85 million barrels of oil per day. By 2025, global energy demand is projected to reach the equivalent of approximately 122 million barrels a day while oil production declines and the need for food supply increases.
Recently, we have seen the acceleration of large cap traditional oil energy companies and governments investing billions of dollars in promising joint bio-fuel manufacturing ventures within sectors such as African palm oil, algae and jatropha much of this capital ending up in emerging countries. Many large cap companies are also expanding their portfolios within the solar manufacturing sector.
We also find that energy and petrochemicals used for agriculture growing rapidly. Food supply to the increasing population has significantly accelerated its impact on limited non-renewable resources. A huge sucking sound rapidly demanding more energy can already be heard from emerging middle class markets such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Former Soviet Union, Cambodia, Argentina, Singapore, and Malaysia. These emerging countries coupled with U.S. markets all represent significant growth opportunities within niche alternative energy sectors for both large and small cap companies.
Clearly this research indicates high demand keeping the price of oil and other fossil fuels at a premium. It is also becoming a key driver in the global shift towards increasingly cost competitive alternative energy sources. The combination of increasing global energy demands, coupled with declining peak oil supplies, and emerging industrialized pressures will continue to force prices higher and, in turn, continue to accelerate the development of cost competitive alternative energy sources. As many of the traditional large cap energy companies invest heavily in emerging clean technologies working in partnership with innovative smaller, thinly traded companies; inevitably we will see volatility as the industry shakes out over the next years representing superior growth potential worldwide.

STEIN LAL, EX-DM MOE, ON GOVERNMENT
Stien Lal joined the public service of Ontario in 1988 as the Deputy Minister in the Ministry of the Solicitor General and since then has held that position in five other ministries retiring from the public service 2001 as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of the Environment. During this period, Ontario under went unprecedented political change. As a result, Stien Lal has served in the capacity of Deputy Minister under all three governments. He now heads a consulting practice at the national and international level. Stien is a lawyer by profession, having been first called to the bar in England and subsequently in five other jurisdictions in Canada and abroad. He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1983.
Notes
Having worked in six ministries in Ontario, he has had the unique opportunity of seeing and appreciating some of the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences between them. The OPS has its own culture and each Ministry has its own culture driven sometimes by the nature of their business, sometimes by their mandate or whether they are a regulatory or a non-regulatory Ministry...continued.
