ERRONEOUS REPORTING BY THE EDGE FINANCIAL DAILY IN AN ARTICLE ENTITLED "LAUNCH OF RETAIL BOND MARKET DELAYED" PUBLISHED ON THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2012

I wish to highlight errors in an article published by The Edge Financial Daily titled "Launch of retail bond market delayed" on March 8, 2012 which quoted me regarding timelines and problems faced by the authorities in implementing the retail bond market.

I or any agents of the Company did not at any time alleged or refer to any delay in timeline or problems faced by the authorities, as reported in that article.

This was communicated to The Edge Financial Daily immediately. The Edge Financial Daily today has issued a clarification (The Edge Financial Daily, March 9, 2012, page 2) to acknowledge this error. Below are the articles in question including the apology from the Edge Financial Daily.
