The average South Korean Company is leveraged four times over its equity, which is why so many are desperate to liquidate assets. But because Korea's currency lost half its value last year, many Korean executives believe—mistakenly—that foreign buyers will find their wares attractive in spite of their debts, analysts says.[B] Despite such aversion to foreign ownership, some deals are going through. Directors of Bank of Asia are believed to have approved the sale of a stake in their midsize bank to Dutch bank ABNAmro. For the Bank of Thailand, the central bank, the ABNAmro deal will send a much needed signal that the country is welcoming foreign capital.[C] “The attitude of Koreans is that only foreigners will pay the price they are as king,” says Daniel Harwood of ABNAmro Asia in Seoul. But foreigners are looking at these business and saying “How can I make a profit,” not “Oh, it's cheap, and I'll buy it.” No one will take over these companies unless they can restructure.[D] Survival is usually uppermost in the minds of companies with their backs to the wall, even if that entails being reduced to a minority stake.

On February 19, Samsung Heavy Industries simultaneously sold its excavator division to Sweden's Volvo Construction Equipment and its forklift operation to the United States' Clark Martirial Handling. Earlier, the chemical giant Hanwha group sold two affiliates to its Japanese and German partners.

While Finance Minister Tarrin Nimmanahaeminda is committed to attracting foreign money to Thailand, Deputy Prime Minister Supachai Panitchpakdi seems less so. “We don't want foreign firms to come and buy out our businesses. We want them to come, buy shares, and operate firmsand sell them after making profits,” he told the local media recently. “This will give Thais a chance to buy them back.”Order:D→  41→  42→  43→  44→  45→  FA.
