Looking ahead in the Philippines
Friday Jun 26, 2020
Friday Jun 26, 2020
Long referred to as the "Sick Man of Asia" for its less than impressive economic performance and often volatile politics, the Philippines has shown record GDP growth in excess of 6% over the last 6-8 years. Under President Rodrigo Duterte, the country has launched an ambitious "Build, Build, Build" infrastructure program and a strategic pivot to China. But how much has really changed? Unlike many of its neighbours, the Philippines economy is still dominated by consumption and services and remains controlled by a handful of big family enterprises. The sudden lockdown of metro Manila and southern Luzon during the COVID-19 crisis will no doubt send the economy into strongly negative territory. Dane Chamorro is joined by Dereck Aw, Control Risks Senior Analyst for the Philippines, to discuss the outlook for the country in the months and years ahead.

Beyond the great firewall – the evolution of cyber risk in Asia
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Though China’s cyber laws may be the most well-known, governments across the Asia Pacific – such as those in India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – are implementing new and evolving legislation and requirements on cyber security. The trend is so significant that we’ve seen demand for guidance on cyber issues expand exponentially in recent years. Requirements can vary hugely from one jurisdiction to the next, presenting unique challenges for multinationals. Dane Chamorro chats to Jim Fitzsimmons, a Director in our Cyber Security practice based in Singapore, about how businesses can best avoid the regulatory and reputational damage that can stem from poor cyber governance.

India’s new economic era?

Friday May 29, 2020
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi this month announced a financial assistance package totalling INR 20 trillion (USD 265bn) to help mitigate the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the measures are aimed at increasing credit availability to small and medium-sized companies, many of which are now suffering acute financial distress as a result of over two months of one of the world’s harshest pandemic lockdowns. Dane Chamorro is joined by Pratyush Rao, who leads Control Risks’ analysis on India and South Asia, to discuss how Modi – once dubbed the great economic reformer of India, and now well into his second term – is hoping to lead India on the long road out of the crisis.

Even in terms of the COVID-19 crisis, Vietnam so far appears to have emerged strong and organised, especially compared with many of its regional peers.
