    To: Stock Exchange                           For immediate release:
                                             14 October 2003


                     Martin Currie Pacific Trust plc
            Interim results for the period to 31 August 2003


Over the six-month period to 31 August 2003, total assets rose from
£56.4m to £71.1m, an increase of 26.1%.  Over the same period, net asset
value per share increased by 32.5%.  This compares with a rise of 24.2%
in the MSCI All Countries Asia Pacific Free index (Japan fixed at 40%
index).  The company's share price rose by 40.3% to 122.75p per share
over the period, resulting in a narrowing of the discount from 16.7% to
11.9%.

Stock selection in the Japanese and Asia ex-Japan portfolios accounted
for most of the outperfomance, with good returns from the markets in
Hong Kong, Indonesia and Singapore.  Gearing has also made a positive
contribution, as markets have risen.

The portfolio's exposure to Japan has increased by 6.9% over the period,
as the demand/supply balance for the equity market has improved.  The
market in Japan rose by 24.4% (in sterling terms) over the period, as
overseas investors, in particular, bought the market.

The portfolio is overweight in the consumer discretionary, industrials
and materials sectors, and is underweight financial and information
technology stocks.

Underlying the improved performance from equities there has been a major
shift in market leadership.  Confidence in the outlook for global growth
has increased and global bond yields have risen.  This has led to a
switch by investors into more cyclical companies and, more generally,
increasing confidence in Asia.  This largely explains the buying of
Asian equities by foreign investors, which we expect to continue.
