China's Premier Wen Jiabao signaled he will maintain unprecedented
government spending to drive a recovery from the slowest expansion in
almost a decade.
"China's economic rebound is unstable, unbalanced and not yet solid,"
Wen said yesterday in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Dalian,
a city in northeastern China. "We cannot and will not change the

3) Mongolia Fund to Manage $30 Billion Mining Jackpot
The Mongolian government will set up a sovereign wealth fund using
mining royalties and tax revenue, and distribute part of the income to
citizens to alleviate poverty, said Finance Minister Sangajav
Bayartsogt.
The fund, to be run by professional managers from 2013, will disburse
part of its annual income to every Mongolian in cash or non-cash
securities to let them own stakes in the country's mining wealth,
Bayartsogt said. Initial capital will be drawn from Ivanhoe Mines
Ltd.'s $4 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper- gold mine project, estimated to
generate $30 billion in tax revenue over 50 years, he said.
"We're drafting the idea to implement the proposal, and we're
studying examples like the Alaskan Permanent Fund," Bayartsogt said in
a Sept. 9 interview in the capital Ulaanbaatar, declining to specify
the size of the proposed fund.
