GTR Asia - Trade, treasury, commodities and fintech conference’s Post

Singapore's trade and logistics sector is set for big changes this 2025. With a projected 20% boost in market valuations and increased trading activity, maximizing these opportunities is essential. Fueling Trade with Finance The strong performance of DBS, UOB, and OCBC underscores Singapore's position as a stable investment hub, essential for supporting growing import and export activities in the region. Rising Logistics Demand The boom in industrial REITs means a greater demand for smarter, faster logistics solutions. Efficiency, technology, and innovation are key to ensuring seamless operations. Adapting to Trade Changes As global tariffs shift, Singapore's critical role as a transshipment hub becomes even more important. Higher trade volumes pose supply chain challenges but also offer opportunities to harness tech-driven solutions. With rising trade volumes and a transforming logistics environment, new challenges and opportunities arise this new year. How is your business preparing for the shift in Singapore's logistics in 2025? #StarConcord #SingaporeTrade2025 #GlobalLogistics #LogisticsInnovation #TransshipmentHub #MarketGrowth2025 #MarketInsights #LogisticsInsights

The Yangtze River Delta has long been an engine for innovation, commerce and entrepreneurship in China. Consequently, it is also one of the most exposed to an evolving regulatory landscape, geopolitics and business cycles. Maybank Investment Banking Group is privileged to have partnered Malaysia's Economy Ministry, led by YB Rafizi Ramli, on a visit through several cities in China, to meet leading technopreneurs. It was eye-opening meeting numerous firms at the frontier of innovation, across the biomedical and tech fields. (In an age of superlative airports, it's saying something that Hangzhou Xiaoshan is, to my mind, one of the most pleasant airports to fly through.) #ChinaAsean #ChinaDeepTech
