A new approach for stimulating long-term credit could be combined with developing the capital market. This concept uses, “on-lending”, (with strict international guidelines followed and best practices of long-term equipment financing implemented by an experienced lender), but introduces the market mechanism of securitizing the loans generated (a pool or portfolio) and the selling them in the capital market. This concept would allow Georgia to develop what is known as a secondary market for loans (financial instruments). This would create an additional source of investments and liquidity for banks. Funding would likely be needed from USAID. | Employment in Alaska s Seafood Industry Alaska s Other Manufacturing The 29 percent outside of seafood processing Employment Scene Unemployment rate at percent ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Governor Sean Parnell Commissioner Click Bishop ALASKA ECONOMIC TRENDS ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT November 2010 Volume 30 Number 11 ISSN 0160-3345 To contact us for more information a free subscription mailing list changes or back copies e-mail trends@alaska. gov or call 907 465-4500.
