P, nice link. I thought this should be posted directly on the thread: The reference case projection for Asia reflects adoption of the most broadly held expectation-that economic recession in the region will be sharp but not protracted. Thus, it is expected that, by 2000, economic expansion in Asia will resume at rates above the average for the world economy as a whole. To date, the countries most harmed by currency and debt crises include South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Although these countries accounted for less than 15 percent of energy consumption for all of Asia in 1995 (Table 4), increases in their consumption account for 25 percent of the change in energy demand for the entire region since 1985. In each of the four countries, energy demand has grown more rapidly than gross domestic product (GDP) over the past decade. Thus, quick economic recovery in the region is important if a wide range of energy development projects currently underway or planned are to be profitable. The effects of the recession are already evident from the variety of actions that have been initiated to stretch out or postpone projects to expand liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, electric power generation, and oil refining.
