to embrace transparency because they are looking toward an ipo in 2017. their main life unit, as you say a $13.5 billion acquisition spree from 2014. the company for many came out of nowhere with this. one of their flagship purchases with the waldorf-astoria in new york. they fail to purchase starwood hotels after aggressive bidding in march. they also bought assets and south korea and the netherlands. a lot of this is ancient -- expansion has been funded by products they offer here in china. high, short-term perfects -- products. there is concern about a liquidity crunch. that maybe one reason why and ipo is being looked at. he could be alleviating concerns about the balance sheet and fund the further overseas expansion.
9:36 pm
rishaad: a few? . -- a few questions marks. what do we know? aroundgreatest mystery this company, was report in "the wasyork times" that anbang linked to a chairman. they said it was factually not true and it was stereotyping of chinese companies. they were unable to give us more concrete details about the ownership of the company other than to say that individual investors are shareholders and -- havee been notified notified authorities in china. we look at morgan stanley, for example, the number one arranger of ipos in china, they decided not to get involved or play a role in this ipo.

9:39 pm
singapore for assurances it is not trying to impede other countries tax forgiveness campaigns. bloomberg analysts andy is -- has the story. it might appear that singapore is actively trying to sing -- sabotage the amnesty program. especially after reports came out last week that the singapore police were being notified by the banks whether their clients were participating in the amnesty. to me, it looks like a conspiracy theory is not really the right explanation. a simple standard operating procedure is what it looks like. remember that singapore is answerable to the financial
9:40 pm
action task force, which in 2012 declared tax offenses to be a predicate offense for money laundering and therefore banks and singapore are obligated to report any of their clients making use of any countries amnesty program as a suspicious transaction, and they are supposed to report that fact to , part of the commercial affairs department, part of the singapore police. that is how the police are getting informed. both thee therefore to people who are availing themselves of the amnesty as well as the indonesian government is, or relax, it there is probably no conspiracy here. the point is, we are talking about nearly $9 billion stashed away in singapore.
9:41 pm
very little of that has made its theback to indonesia question remains, why are people not taking advantage of this? closedllion has been the -- disclose, you're right. only about 12% has been repatriated. that is part of any rational decision. for people who are disclosing but not sending the money back home to nittanynation -- to , that tax rate for september is only 4%. 2%.hey do repatriate, it is keeping money in hard currency in singapore, is it worth 2%? if i were one of them, i would say yes. rishaad: thanks for that.
