	CNN.com - Air NZ shares suspended again - September 28, 2001
		Under a rescue plan unveiled earlier this month Brierley and Singapore Airlines, which holds a 25 stake in Air NZ, were to inject $60 million (NZ$150 million) each into the company, while the New Zealand government had agreed to provide a $220 million ($NZ550 million) loan.
		Brierley, which on Thursday reported a loss of $120 million for the year to June 2001, wrote down the value of its stake in Air NZ from $230 million to about $63 million.
		Standard & Poor's said its downgrade for Brierley reflected the concentration of its investment portfolio in two major listed assets -- Thistle Hotels PLC and Air New Zealand -- and uncertainty facing the travel and hotel industries arising from the September 11 terror attacks.

		The main large “New Zealand” investments in Hong Kong are those owned by Brierley Investments Ltd (no longer a New Zealand company, but probably regarded as New Zealand based for at least some of these statistics), but these would not amount to $5.2 billion.
		However those investments would have been counted as “New Zealand” investments in Hong Kong at least until it moved its registration to Bermuda in 1999, and perhaps beyond that if they were held by one of the BIL's large number of New Zealand-registered shelf companies.
		Further discrepancies could arise from the different definitions of direct investment used by the two authorities: Statistics New Zealand defines direct investment as being where non-residents own 25% or more of the equity of an enterprise, whereas HKCSD uses a 10% threshold (the international standard, which Statistics New Zealand is now adopting).

		In the event, the board decided in February 2001 to inject extra cash, which it said would be enough to meet all future valid claims to compensate victims of asbestos diseases.
