Health risks associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have severely affected the financial stability of airline companies globally.  Recapturing financial stability following this crisis depends heavily on these companies’ ability to attain efficient and productive operations.  This study uses several empirical approaches to examine key factors contributing to carriers sustaining high productivity prior to, during and after a major recession.  Findings suggest, regardless of economic conditions, that social distancing which requires airline companies in the Asia Pacific region to fly with a significant percentage of unfilled seats weakens the performance of those companies.  Furthermore, efficient operations do not guarantee the avoidance of productivity declines, especially during a recession.

As electronic commerce (e-commerce) is becoming the way to trade, it is the large corporations that are exploiting their finances and technical expertise to jump into this abyss. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are finding too many obstacles to participate in e-commerce. SMEs in Asia Pacific in particular, face many obstacles and thus are still not comfortable with the concept of putting their business online, conducting transactions online or revamping entire business processes. This chapter describes the key factors that are hindering SMEs’ participation in e-commerce and the obstacles to SMEs for e-adoption in Asia Pacific. Although this study is limited to the Asia Pacific region many of the findings do contribute significantly to the factors hindering all SMEs’ e-adoption efforts.

Airline Performance

Globally airline performance has been variable with poor performance undermining the confidence of travelers, investors, Governments and other stakeholders. Airline corporate governance is a key determinant of airline performance. However, the relationships between governance and performance is complicated by the diversity of governance arrangements surrounding airlines. This study utilizes the four level model of Scrimgeour and Duppati (2014) to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of airline governance in the Asia Pacific region. Data from firm performance and firm behavior are analyzed for a 14-year period given governance and business choices occur at all stages of the business cycle and governance decisions have impact over multiple periods. Improving trust in the airline industry requires attention to all four levels of governance in a manner consistent with national and international business contexts

The authors review the challenges and trends of the Russian coal exports and describe fields that are potentially attractive for exports in the new coal mining centers in the East of Russia. A conclusion is made that the only option available for the Russian coal industry in the eastern parts of the country is the export-oriented sustainable development in conditions when the global coal trade is shifting towards the Asia-Pacific region. Scientific and methodological support for the implementation of investment projects of Russian coal companies has been developed for the new economic conditions. The economic and mathematical model is proposed to assess the options of perspective development of production subsystem of an export-oriented coal company, which helps to define the parameters of a rational option to develop the coal sector including the volumes of annual expenses of investors to obtain the highest revenue from coal export.

Significance This year started with a contraction of first-quarter GDP, after two years of very slow growth. Industrial output contracted as well. As world oil prices have dropped, Belarus no longer receives windfall proceeds from exporting distillates produced from cheap Russian crude. The onset of a systemic recession in an election year may prove particularly troublesome for President Alexander Lukashenka. Perhaps in anticipation of the worsening economic conditions, the electoral commission asked legislators to schedule this year's presidential polls on October 11, a month earlier than expected. Impacts To prevent economic failures from swaying voters away from Lukashenka, the authorities will step up suppression of opposition. Minsk may look for increased investment and strengthening of relations in the Asia-Pacific region as a way to boost the economy. According to Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak, Russia is considering a loan to Belarus to help refinance its debts.

The article attempts to identify and systematize trends and risks in the development of the alternative lending market in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Alternative lending as a segment of financial technology market (Fintech) in Asia has significantly increased its share in the global market over the past 5 years. During the period from 2017 to 2018, the share of Asia-Pacific countries increased in all 4 key Fintech segments. The research methodology is based on the methods of statistical data analysis, comparative analysis and correlation analysis. As a result of the analysis, the author identifies three main trends: an increase in the level of internationalization of alternative lending, an increase in the role of large technology companies (BigTech) in providing financial services to the population, and outsourcing of storage and client data processing to third parties. Along with these trends, new emerging risks may have an impact on financial stability in Asian countries: the risk of spillover onto other participants in the financial sector, procyclicality and the risk of moral hazard for systemically important organizations, etc. The author comes to the conclusion that in order to minimize the effects of fraud risk as well as other key risks, it is worth introducing a special regime regulating alternative lending in the country.
