Publications
Accelerating Your Digital Transformation: Are Malaysian Companies Geared to Digitalise?
Malaysia’s digital economy is growing, but many companies remain at an early stage of digitalization. While awareness is high, most firms focus on basic digitization rather than business transformation. Government incentives, skills development, and incremental adoption are key to advancing digital maturity.
Supply Chain Finance in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s supply chains evolve under China+1 strategies, working capital constraints are intensifying. Supply chain finance offers a way to unlock liquidity, support suppliers, and strengthen resilience through buyer-led programs and digital platforms. Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
Accelerating Sustainable Recovery in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s post-pandemic recovery is increasingly shaped by climate and social risks that demand regional cooperation. Aligning growth with ESG priorities through coordinated policy, sustainable finance, and stronger data frameworks is critical to addressing vulnerabilities and supporting long-term development across the region.
Indonesia's Petrochemical Future: The Next Growth Frontier
Indonesia’s petrochemical sector is strategically important but import dependent. Rising domestic demand, abundant resources, and sustainability-linked pathways create an opportunity to build regional leadership. Realizing this potential will require policy clarity, competitive energy pricing, and coordinated public–private investment.
