Economic policy will remain focused on keeping inflation at bay by means of continued tight credit. Enterprise reform will be slow while efforts to direct resources towards the interior will be stepped up as the Ninth Five Year-Plan comes into effect. GDP growth will slow further in 1996-97 as industrial output and investment growth are curbed by tight credit. A recovery in exports in 1997, after a slowdown in 1996, will be the main reason for slightly faster GDP growth in the latter year. But as investment starts to pick up again imports, stimulated by tariff reductions, will grow faster than exports in 1996-97. This will help reduce the current-account surplus to below $6bn in 1997. Convertibility of the renminbi on current account will not exert much downward pressure on the currency, which will depreciate against the US dollar in line with the inflation differential. Pages 5-9 The political scene: Jiang Zemin has been seeking to consolidate his posi- tion by promoting supporters, claiming the ideological high ground and assert- ing China’s rights with respect to Taiwan. There is jostling for various key positions, notably that of premier. A tough stand is being taken on human rights and dissent in Tibet and Mongolia. Verbal hostilities towards Taiwan have intensified and tensions with the USA remain high. The PLA troops to be stationed in Hong Kong have been identified and relations with the UK have warmed. China is attending the EU-Asian summit in Bangkok. Rail links will be re-established with Vietnam. China may become embroiled in a dispute over the Senkaku Islands, claimed by China and Japan. Pages 9-18 Economic policy: Monetary policy will remain tight in 1996, but there will be leakage. Rising government debt is costing more to finance. The renminbi will soon be made convertible. The Special Economic Zones will continue to play a role, but their privileges and exemptions, together with those of foreign invested enterprises, are to be phased out. Tariff cuts are being announced, as promised last year. Reform of the state-owned enterprises and the financial sector remains a distant goal. Pages 18-23 The economy: Growth slowed in 1995, but was still in double digits. Inflation fell, but it is still not eradicated. Fiscal reforms have yet to improve the position of the central government. Pages 23-25 Sectoral trends: It is being accepted that grain imports will have to rise, although 1995 was a bumper year. Growth in industrial value-added slowed to 13.4% in 1995. Output of state-owned enterprises grew faster than the previous year; that of collectives and the private and foreign-invested sectors grew more slowly. Township and village enterprises are increasing their share of exports. EIU Country Report 1st quarter 1996 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 1996 2 Steel and automobile output were stagnant in 1995. Transport statistics showed a decline. Pages 25-29 Money and finance: Financial and commodity markets are thriving. There is a lot of foreign interest in the fledgling insurance market. Monetary policy remains a blunt tool so long as the level of interest rates is distorted. An interbank market is to be established. Pages 29-32 Foreign trade, investment and debt: Although the phenomenal growth of exports slowed as the year progressed, there was a substantial trade surplus in 1995. The share of foreign-invested enterprises in total trade continues to rise, while that of the Special Economic Zones is falling. Foreign capital is still flowing in fast and China has returned to the US capital market. Pages 32-35 Mongolia Political and economic structures Pages 36-37 Outlook: The ruling MPRP is likely to win the June parliamentary election, not least because electoral reform has been ruled out. The economy, having returned to growth, is set for further improvement. Larger inflows of aid and foreign investment will help revivify moribund sectors such as construction, but problems will persist in agriculture. Page 38 Review: The winter session of the parliament saw active legislation, but there will not be an electoral reform bill, despite popular support for such a move. Education is the focus of government attention. Russia has agreed not to press the issue of Mongolia’s debt and overtures have been made to the USA and Japan. Growth in 1995 was an encouraging 6.1%, with industrial output growth strong too. The 1996 budget has been approved and the IMF has defended its anti-inflation programme. Price reform will continue. Industry is performing well; agriculture remains problematic. Exports have been boosted by large rises in exports of minerals. The donor group has made a pledge of $212m for 1996.

  • Modeling Forum Results of the 2002 Mathematical Contest in Modeling
    Results of the 2002 MCM 187 Modeling Forum Results of the 2002 Mathematical Contest in Modeling Frank Giordano, MCM Director COMAP, Inc. 57 Bedford St., Suite 210 Lexington, MA 02420 [email protected] Introduction A total of 525 teams of undergraduates, from 282 institutions in 11 coun- tries, spent the second weekend in February working on applied mathematics problems in the 18th Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). The 2002 MCM began at 8:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 7 and officially ended at 8:00 p.m. EST on Monday, Feb. 11. During that time, teams of up to three undergraduates were to research and submit an optimal solution for one of two open-ended modeling problems. Students registered, obtained con- test materials, downloaded the problems at the appropriate time, and entered completion data through COMAP’S MCM Web site. Each team had to choose one of the two contest problems. After a weekend of hard work, solution papers were sent to COMAP on Monday. Ten of the top papers appear in this issue of The UMAP Journal. Results and winning papers from the first sixteen contests were published in special issues of Mathematical Modeling (1985–1987) and The UMAP Journal (1985–2001). The 1994 volume of Tools for Teaching, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the contest, contains all of the 20 problems used in the first ten years of the contest and a winning paper for each. Limited quantities of that volume and of the special MCM issues of the Journal for the last few years are available from COMAP.

IIInntttrrroodduucctttiiioonn In March we learnt about a few interesting Chinese scientific achievements. The prestigious China Science and Technology University in Hefei, Anhui province has developped a unique technology to produce ultra-thin cables. Still in the field of nano-tech, chinese temas have developped non-crystal material and observed superconducting electrons. The Chinese government is activelly promoting scientic research. This month, prices were delivered to recoginse achievements in various strategical fields. It is interesting to note that, again, the prime minister emphasised the need for research in energy resources and environment protection. 5 foreigners were also awarded, including Daniel Vasella, CEO of Novartis. Talking about environment, the most important news is the projection of the 11th Five-Year period (2006-2010) -the government's economic plan- that China will invest 1,300 billion yuan (around 200 billion CHF) in environment protection. This is around double the 10th Five-Year period (2000-2005). Besides the fact that the amound of articles on water at least reflect the importance of the problem, there are interesting readings on plans for a law on circular economy and on a recent WWF report on China's timber consumption environmental footprint.

  • Modeling Forum Results of the 1999 Mathematical Contest in Modeling
    Results of the 1999 MCM 187 Modeling Forum Results of the 1999 Mathematical Contest in Modeling Frank Giordano, MCM Director COMAP, Inc. 57 Bedford St., Suite 210 Lexington, MA 02420 [email protected] Introduction A total of 479 teams of undergraduates, from 223 institutions in 9 countries, spent the first weekend in February working on applied mathematics problems. They were part of the 15th annual Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). On Friday morning, the MCM faculty advisor opened a packet and presented each team of three students with a choice of one of two problems. After a weekend of hard work, typed solution papers were mailed to COMAP on Monday. Twelve of the top papers appear in this issue of The UMAP Journal. A new feature this year was the inauguration of the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), an extension of the MCM designed explicitly to stimulate participation by students from different disciplines and to develop and ad- vance interdisciplinary problem-solving skills. The ICM featured a new kind of problem (Problem C) that in 1999 involved downloading and analyzing data and reflected a situation in which concepts from mathematics, chemistry, en- vironmental science, and environmental engineering were useful. Each year’s ICM announcement brochure advises which disciplines are likely to be helpful. Results and winning papers from the first thirteen contests were published in special issues of Mathematical Modeling (1985–1987) and The UMAP Journal (1985–1998). The 1994 volume of Tools for Teaching, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the contest, contains the 20 problems used in the first ten years of the contest and a winning paper for each.
