TT: Are your multinational clients showing any signs of hesitating to invest in the Taiwan market due to the political and economic hurdles the nation is facing?
Farrell: No, not too much. Our clients are moving forward and continuing to invest. More and more foreign players -- in financial services for example -- are buying up companies here, setting up practices or expanding the services they offer here. So I don't see too many companies sitting on the sidelines waiting. To see more significant growth I think resolving the economic planning issue as well as getting some momentum on cross-strait issues -- and the talks moving forward -- must happen before significant confidence is restored.
