Directions for Questions 22-31: Read the following passage carefully

and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been

printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the

questions.

The great fear in Asia a short while ago was that the region would

suffer through the wealth destruction already taking place in the U.S. as

a result of the financial crisis. Stock markets tumbled as exportsplunged and economic growth deteriorated. Lofty property prices in

China and elsewhere looked set to bust as credit tightened and buyers

evaporated. But with surprising speed, fear in Asia swung back to greed

as the region shows signs of recovery and property and stock prices are

soaring in many parts of Asia.

Why should the sharp Asian turnaround be greeted with skepticism?

Higher asset prices mean households feel wealthier and better able to

spend, which could further fuel the regions nascent rebound. But just

as easily, Asia could soon find itself saddled with overheated markets

similar to the U.S. housing market. In short the world has not changed,

it has just moved places.

The incipient bubble is being created by government policy. In response

to the global credit crunch of 2008, policy makers in Asia slashed

interest rates and flooded financial sectors with cash in frantic attempts

to keep loans flowing and economies growing. These steps were logical

for central bankers striving to reverse a deepening economic crisis. But

theres evidence that there is too much easy money around. Its

winding up in stocks and real estate, pushing prices up too far and too

fast for the underlying economic fundamentals. Much of the concern is

focused on China, where government stimulus efforts have been large


7/13







and effective. Money in China has been especially easy to find.

Aggregate new bank lending surged 201% in the first half of 2009 from

the same period a year earlier, to nearly $ 1.1 trillion. Exuberance over

a quick recoverywhich was given a boost by Chinas surprisingly strong

7.9% GDP growth in the second quarterhas buoyed investor sentiment

not just for stocks but also for real estate.

Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan argued that

bubbles could only be recognized in hindsight. But investorswho have

been well schooled in the dangers of bubbles over the past decade are

increasingly wary that prices have risen too far, and that the slightest

bit of negative economic news could knock markets for a loop. Thesefears are compounded by the possibility that Asias central bankers will

begin taking steps to shut off the money. Rumors that Beijing was on

the verge of tightening credit led to Shanghai stocks plunging 5%. Yet

many economists believe that, there is close to a zero possibility that

the Chinese government will do anything this year that constitutes

tightening. And without a major shift in thinking, the easy-money

conditions will stay in place. In a global economy that has produced

more dramatic ups and downs than anyone thought possible over thepast two years, Asia may be heading for another disheartening plunge.

22.To which of the following has the author attributed the 2008 Asian

financial crisis?
