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.

The Strategic Response of Vietnamese Enterprises Amid US-China Tensions: Market Diversification and Embracing ESG Compliance
Vietnam’s export-led growth faces rising pressure as U.S.–China trade tensions and tariff risks intensify. While China+1 has driven past gains, firms must adapt by diversifying export markets, leveraging FTAs, and strengthening ESG capabilities to remain competitive and resilient in a shifting global trade environment.

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
