Prices remain steady as market continues to normalise
28/01/2002
Introduction
Since the latest Market Intelligence two weeks ago, the macroeconomic picture has remained largely stable, with no significant interest rate changes or other developments to report.
Probably the only noteworthy occurrence was the further rise in the US dollar against the yen and the Euro - a factor which may reasonably be expected to enhance the competitiveness of manufacturers and exporters in non-US dollar areas.
