The Future
Trade in Dry Bulk Commodities North Asia
Up? Down?
Dr Helen B Bendall 31
Dr Helen B Bendall 32
Will commodity exporting countries,
such as Australia, continue to ride
on the bow wave of North Asian dry
bulk carriers?
Dr Helen B Bendall 33
Uncertainties
World Economic Outlook supply and demand for dry-bulk commodities sub-prime fallout
