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.

东南亚供应链金融
随着「China+1」战略推动东南亚供应链持续演变,营运资金压力日益加剧。供应链金融通过买方主导的项目和数字化平台,为释放流动性、支持供应商并增强体系韧性提供了有效路径。进一步推动监管协调并提升中小企业的认知度,将有助于加快其应用和普及。

媒体格局变迁:东南亚从付费社交到联盟营销的转变
