Build Resilience for Your Global Expansion
Asian multinational companies (MNCs) are pursuing immense growth and investment opportunities globally. More than 42% of Fortune Global 500 companies are headquartered in Asia, an increase from just 29% in 2010 that indicates the rising competitiveness of Asia-based businesses on the world stage. Moreover, many MNCs headquartered in Asia harbor global ambitions that have grown within the last decade: based on UNCTAD’s 2020 data, the combined outwards foreign direct investment (FDI) stock from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and India totaled over US$5.4 trillion — more than three times of the US$1.6 trillion in 2010.
The focus of these FDIs center mainly in infrastructure development, heavy industry, automotive and high-end manufacturing. China, for example, has pledged more than US$1 trillion towards the Belt and Road Initiative, with projects and investment opportunities valued at US$3.7 trillion.
Complexity on the world stage
Businesses interested in these opportunities must navigate diverse geopolitics, regulatory frameworks, cultures, and languages/interpretation needs. These challenges, coupled with the necessary sensitivity to local buying practices and procurement standards, present an altogether complex web that requires your business to have a sophisticated and data-driven risk management approach. Are your overseas executives well-equipped to meet these challenges?
