The same went for corporate business practices regarding payment terms. As market competition and practices returned to normal, more companies took the initiative to grant payment terms. <br> </i> <figure data-width="100%" data-caption="Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)" data-caption-display="block" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/468988/Chart-2024-CPS-Total-economy-pay.png" alt="Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%"> <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%" class=""> <div style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start" align="left"> <i>Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)</i> </div> </figcaption> </figure> <br> <i>But corporates have become more cautious and offered tighter payment terms. Coface's 2024 China Corporate Payment Survey showed that average payment terms decreased in 2023. The use of risk management tools was also more prevalent in businesses.</i> <br> <br> <i>Tighter payment terms led to an increased incidence of payment delays. But that does not necessarily mean a worsening of companies' cash flow position. If payment delays are added to payment terms, the total average waiting time between purchasing a product and paying an invoice - known as days sales outstanding (DSO) - decreased from 140 days in 2022 to 136 days in 2023. That may indicate an improvement in corporates' cash flow cycle.</i> <br> <br> <i>Looking ahead to 2024, 53% of our respondents expected the economic outlook to improve as policy support increases, market competition eases, and inventory burdens reduce. Slowing demand in 2024 should prompt more government spending to stabilise growth."</i> <br> <br> <b>Payment delays</b><sup><b><sup>1</sup></b></sup><b>: More delays reported, but duration shortened</b> <br> <br> <b>62% of our respondents reported payment delays in 2023</b>, up from 40% in 2022. But an increase in the frequency of payment delays may not necessarily equate to a deterioration in companies' cash flow position. In 2023, <b>payment delays shortened significantly</b>, from 83 days in 2022 to 64 days. <br> <br> The survey also showed <b>a continuous downtrend of ultra-long payment delays (ULPDs, above 180 days) exceeding 2% of annual turnover</b>, a threshold for high non-payment risk – 80% of such delays were never paid based on Coface's experience. Only 33% of respondents reported such delays, the second-lowest level since 2014. <br> <br> <b>Construction</b> continued to see the longest payment delays (84 days) as property developers remained under severe financial stress with persistent weakness in new home sales. <b>Textile</b> appeared to have the highest non-payment risks (ULPDs exceeding 2% of turnover) when overdue occurred. But the situation is unlikely to improve in 2024 as pent-up demand recedes and labour cost rises. <br> <br> <b>Intense competition</b> was cited as a major reason for customers' financial difficulties, which may be partly due to the excessive capacity in some industries. However, <b>cost pressure</b> did not appear to be a significant burden for Chinese companies, which was consistent with China's relatively weak inflationary environment. <br> <br> <b>Economic expectations: Competition to moderate, but demand outlook unfavorable</b> <br> <br> Looking ahead, increased policy support may bring some confidence to corporates as 53% of our respondents remained optimistic about the economic prospects in 2024. <b>Pharmaceuticals</b> emerged as the most optimistic on the back of the structural demand arising from an ageing population. <b>Automobile</b> and <b>construction</b> also outperformed as policy support for electric vehicles and infrastructure investments should continue to roll out. <b>Textile </b>was most pessimistic as pent-up demand is likely to recede in 2024 and labour costs to rise. <br> <br> <b>Fierce competition</b> was still regarded as the biggest risk facing corporate operations in 2024. But with many companies offering deep discounts to boost sales in 2023, competition should ease in 2024 as inventory burdens reduce. But <b>slowdown in demand </b>was expected to be more severe as reopening demand fades while household incomes and business profits have yet to provide new dry powder. In this regard, government may have to step up spending to stabilize overall demand. <br> <br> <div> <br> <hr align="left"> <div> <sup>[1]</sup> Payment delay refers to the period between the payment due date and the date the payment is made, as reported by our respondents on average. <br> <br> </div> </div> <br> <figure data-width="100%" data-caption="Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)" data-caption-display="block" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/468988/Chart-2024-CPS-Total-economy-pay.png" alt="Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%"> <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%" class=""> <div style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start" align="left"> <i>Average Payment Delay By Sectors (Days)</i> </div> </figcaption> </figure> <br>Hashtag: #Coface<br><p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p><p></p><h4>COFACE: FOR TRADE</h4><p>With over 75 years of experience and the most extensive international network, Coface is a leader in trade credit insurance & risk management, and a recognized provider of Factoring, Debt Collection, Single Risk insurance, Bonding, and Information Services.

Though the BSS and digital intelligence-driven operation businesses were under pressure, benefiting from the rapid growth of the OSS and vertical industry digitisation businesses, the overall revenue remained stable. The Three New business recorded a faster year-on-year growth of 12.7%, with its revenue amounting to RMB2,899 million, enlarging its proportion of the total revenue to 36.7%. Meanwhile, the Company stepped up its efforts in cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, maintaining a stable gross profit margin of 37.7%. Impacted by the non-operating items such as the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the net profit for the Year fell by 37.9% to RMB512 million. However, excluding the impact of the said non-operating items, the Company's adjusted net profit for the Year was RMB851 million, and the adjusted net profit margin sustained a double-digit figure of 10.8%, maintaining a sound profitability. Operating cash flow was RMB582 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. <br> <br> Commenting on the Group's results in 2023, Dr. TIAN Suning, Chairman and Executive Director of the Group, said, "In the past year, the external economic situation was severe and complex, with ongoing uncertainties during the economic recovery. Meanwhile, customers in the telecommunications industry continued to ramp up efforts to reduce costs, boost efficiency and enhance their proprietary research and development ("R&D") capabilities. Against this backdrop, the Company's traditional business faced a real challenge. Therefore, the Company kept on developing new businesses on the one hand, and innovatively upgraded its traditional business using new technologies such as AIGC/ GPT on the other hand, to offset the pressure brought by the traditional business and maintain a healthy and stable business development. In 2023, the Company attached a higher importance to cash flow health and strengthened its refined cost management to ensure the Company's long-term sustainable development. Excluding the non-operating items, the Company's profit for the Year continued to grow, and its operating cash flow also improved as compared to the previous year, continuously creating value for shareholders, customers and society." <br> <br> The Board, after taking into consideration of various factors, particularly the cash returns of shareholders and the non-cash impact of the asset impairments, has decided to propose the distribution of a final dividend of HK$0.412 per Share for 2023 at the annual general meeting, representing a dividend payout ratio equivalent to 40.0% of the adjusted net profit for the Year. Including the special dividend of HK$0.6 per Share declared in December 2023, the total dividend for 2023 will be HK$1.012 per Share. <br> <br> <b>OSS business maintained a rapid growth, BSS business faced a real challenge</b> <br> <br> In the OSS business, the Company continued to seize market opportunities in areas such as computing power network, autonomous network, and ToB 5G networks with industry leading technology and products to promote rapid business growth. AsiaInfo's AN CoPilot efficiently supports telecommunication operators to advance to L4/ L5 high-level autonomous networks by building a model specific for autonomous network, network augmented cognition services and the toolkits. In 2023, the revenue from the OSS business reached RMB832 million, up by 24.9% year on year. <br> <br> In the BSS business, facing challenges from its customers' intensifying efforts to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and enhance proprietary R&D capabilities, the downward pressure on the traditional BSS business is increasing. The Company capitalised on the trend and actively deployed innovative technologies such as AIGC/ GPT, edge AI, metaverse, and digital twins to develop products that meet customers' demand on innovation, easing the downward pressure on the BSS business. The Company actively infused intelligence into its business, leveraging AIGC to develop products such as intelligent customer service multimodal interaction operations, intelligent marketing services, and ChatBI. In terms of market expansion, the Company continued to grow its customer portfolio and successfully replaced the business support systems of government and enterprise customers in several provinces and win projects such as the Billing System Reconstruction Project at China Telecom Shanghai Branch. In 2023, the revenue from the BSS business was down by 0.9% year on year, amounting to RMB4,881 million. <br> <br> <b>Deepened the high-quality development model of "Standardised Product + Solution" in the vertical industries </b> <br> <br> With the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, various industries are striving to accelerate digital and intelligent transformation. Against this backdrop, the Company continued to focus on key industries such as energy, transportation, government affairs, etc., and further deepened the high-quality development model of "Standardised Product + Solution", at the same time appropriately controlled the pace of development. In 2023, the revenue from the vertical industry digitalisation business was RMB965 million, up by 27.5% year on year. In which, the revenue from the transportation industry amounted to RMB316 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 458.5%, while the revenue from the energy industry amounted to RMB269 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 136.5%. <br> <br> In the transportation industry, the Company deepened its efforts in intelligent highways and promoted an innovative development in intelligent transportation hubs and digital intelligent logistics. In the area of intelligent highways, the Company developed digital intelligent products and solutions such as 5G+ Beidou inter-flow billing, traffic digital twin, and transportation big data governance and application. In the area of intelligent transportation hubs, the Company participated in the building of Chongqing East Railway Station smart hub project with the business model of "Standardised Product + Solution + System Integration". In the area of digital intelligent logistics, the Company integrated the data of railway, aviation, highway and sea transport, as well as customers' own data, to provide freight data, logistics visualisation, multimodal transport optimisation and other services, and achieved a rapid growth in orders during the Year with customers including Shougang, Baogang, Jiangsu Trans Union, Shandong Zhongze Energy and Environmental Protection and Qingdao SCO Demonstration Area. <br> <br> In the energy industry, the Company strengthened its market leadership in nuclear power plant 5G private network while expanding into wind power, photovoltaic power and mining sites. The Company has signed a total of 23 nuclear power units for nuclear power plant 5G private network projects, covering nearly 30% of the nuclear power units under construction and in operation in mainland China. In the area of wind power, the Company's 5G private network projects have covered more than 100 wind farms and cooperated with China Broadcasting Network and CGN New Energy, successfully deploying 700MHz proprietary base stations in the construction of wind power 5G private network. In the area of photovoltaic power, the Company built a cloud-network integrated comprehensive energy management platform "Xihe Energy", and successfully completed benchmark projects such as CNH Energy Hainan distributed photovoltaic power project and Hainan Jiaotou zero-carbon service area. In the area of mining, the Company leveraged 5G private network, edge AI, big data and other products and solutions to break through the smart mining market. The Company sees huge market potential in the energy industry. In addition to the nuclear power units that had not yet been covered, there are still thousands of wind power farms, photovoltaic power sites and coal mines that have the demand for digital transformation. <br> <br> <b>Short-term pressure on digital intelligence-driven operation business with negative impacts diminishing</b> <br> <br> In 2023, iDigital experienced a short-term impact of its in-depth organisational reform and its industry research business was greatly affected by the sluggish capital markets and tight budget control of customers in Internet and consumption sectors, resulting a year-on-year decline in its revenue. However, the decline in revenue narrowed in the second half of the Year as compared with the first half of the Year. The Company believes that there is still enormous market demand for digital intelligence-driven operation business. Coupled with the easing of the above-mentioned negative impacts, it is expected that the digital intelligence-driven operation business will resume growth in 2024. <br> <br> In DSaaS business, the Company continued to focus on industries such as telecommunications, government and enterprise, automotive and consumption. In the area of digital intelligence TMT, the Company continued to optimise its business model. In 2023, the Company added seven provincial customers in the models such as Internet "franchise zones" operations and results-based charging, reaching a total of 23 provinces. Meanwhile, the Group's client base of the DSaaS business expanded from provincial branches of within client groups to more specialised companies, such as China Moblie Financial Technology, China Mobile Internet, etc. In the area of digital intelligence internet of vehicles, the Company leveraged on telecommunications big data combined with AI, privacy computing, and other technologies to develop digital marketing solutions for the automotive industry, driving expansion of its client base, making breakthroughs in joint venture brands, commercial vehicles, and emerging brands and winning multiple projects from automotive companies such as Deepal, GAC Toyota and Dongfeng Motor. In the area of digital intelligence consumption, the Company focused on brand customers, providing services such as digital membership engagement and management and private domain marketing. It obtained Jingpai's membership digital marketing project and provided Nike with store insights and analytics, among others. In the area of intelligent decision-making, iDigital published couple of research papers on AIGC and digital transformation, etc., gradually becoming more influential in the digital consulting industry and winning multiple top-level digital consulting and planning projects from China Mobile Financial Technology, China Mobile's Migu and China Broadcasting Network, etc. In 2023, the digital intelligence-driven operation business recorded a revenue of RMB1,102 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4.2%, accounting for 14.0% of the Company's total revenue, with revenue from results-based and commission-based charging models accounting for 24.0% of the digital intelligence-driven operation business revenue. <br> <br> <b>Prospects</b> <br> <br> Talking about the future strategies, Dr. TIAN said, "Looking ahead to 2024, there are uncertainties in the external economic development. AsiaInfo Technologies will continue to navigate through the challenging environment, seeking opportunities and breakthroughs. Building upon the foundation of the strategy of 'One consolidation, Three Developments', the Company will further advance 'Four Shifts' strategy to drive development in non-telecommunication industries, standardised products, software and hardware integrated products and international markets." <br> <br> "In terms of BSS business, the Company will proactively innovate its traditional business through technological and product innovations, mitigating downward pressure on the BSS business, while maintaining our leadership position in the BSS market. In addition, the Company will expand our OSS business boundary and put efforts into penetrating ToB 5G network equipment market. In the non-communications industry, we will continue to focus on key vertical industries such as energy, government affairs and transportation. We will seize favourable policy opportunities, strengthen our professional teams, and create benchmark cases with deepened adoption of the 'Standardised Product + Solution' model, to drive business growth with guaranteed quality." <br> <br> "Integration has become the main theme of the ICT industry development, and the boundary between products and services is constantly being blurred. The Company will focus on five strategic products, namely 5G/6G networks, edge AI, database, xGPT, big data and trusted data circulation and intensify its efforts to promote the products in key vertical industries such as telecommunications, energy, government affairs, and transportation. As for international markets, with our capabilities in standardised products getting mature, the Company actively integrates into the global ecosystem and strive to expand into markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia through overseas channels and partnerships, bringing the Company's software and hardware integrated standardised products such as 5G private networks, O-RAN, and edge AI to international markets." <br> <br> <div> <br> <hr align="left"> <div> [1] Three New business represents the digital intelligence-driven operation, the vertical industries digitisation, and the Operation Support Systems ("OSS") business. <br> <br> </div> <div> [2] Adjusted net profit represents the net profit excluding the impact of non-operating items, namely, the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and the dividend tax arising from the special dividend declared in 2023. <br> <br> </div> </div> <br>Hashtag: #AsiaInfoTechnologies<br><p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p><p></p><h4>AsiaInfo Technologies Limited</h4><p>AsiaInfo Technologies Limited ("AsiaInfo" or "the Company"; Stock code: 01675.

V-Green's mission is twofold: investing in the development of a comprehensive charging infrastructure system that prioritizes supporting VinFast vehicles, and propelling Vietnam towards becoming one of the world's leaders in electric vehicle charging station density. <br> </i></b> <br> <figure data-width="100%" data-caption="image-1.jpeg" data-caption-display="none" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/469163/image-1.jpeg" alt="image-1.jpeg" width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure> <br> Spun off from VinFast's charging station development division, V-Green, majority-owned by Mr. Pham with a 90% stake, will operate as a global partner, spearheading the creation of a comprehensive charging network. This strategic move will allow V-Green to focus solely on infrastructure investment independently from VinFast, and enable the Vietnamese electric manufacturer to prioritize market expansion and sustainable development. <br> <br> To achieve its goal of developing a green ecosystem and contributing to the electric vehicle transition, V-Green will seek better access to and mobilize capital with preferential interest rates. This capital will fuel VinFast's rapid expansion into international markets. <br> <br> In the initial phase, V-Green will directly search for land and partners to establish and expand its charging network in key markets around the world. It will also cooperate with other charging companies to provide charging services to VinFast electric vehicle owners. <br> <br> In Vietnam, V-Green will be responsible for operating and managing VinFast's existing charging network. V-Green will additionally invest 10 trillion VND (approximately $404 million) over the next two years to build new stations, upgrade and complete its existing network. With this threefold increase in infrastructure investment compared to VinFast's initial plan, V-Green aims to establish charging stations nationwide and make Vietnam one of the world's leading countries in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. <br> <br> After about five years of operation, depending on each market and actual fundraising capacity, V-Green may consider expanding charging services to other EV manufacturers in addition to VinFast.<strong></strong> <br> <br> <b><i>Mr. Nguyen Duc Thanh, CEO of V-Green, </i></b><i>stated: "The decision by VinFast's Founder to establish V-Green is a strategic step to globally support and promote VinFast's sustainable development. Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong's willingness to use his personal assets to support V-Green demonstrates this commitment. It reduces VinFast's infrastructure investment needs and provides maximum support for the EV manufacturer's rapid development. This affirms a strong determination to promote green transportation in Vietnam and worldwide."</i> <br> <br> As previously announced, VinFast will expand to at least 50 countries around the world in 2024. In addition to key markets like the US, Canada, and Europe, VinFast is expanding fast into neighboring Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The company is also entering new markets in the Middle East and Africa, with Oman, Nigeria and Ghana being the first ones. <br> <br> In addition to Vietnam, VinFast is currently building electric vehicle manufacturing plants in the US and India.

They are centrally located in the prime district of Honmachi Osaka with close proximity to Osaka Metro stations, and within walking distance to commercial districts and the renowned Shinsaibashi tourism area. The two largest terminal stations of Namba and Umeda are within two stops on the Midosuji line, with the Shin-Osaka Shinkansen station only five stops away.

Japan has had strong momentum and we expect this will continue in the foreseeable future. This investment underscores our commitment to Japan, where we plan to deploy more capital and make further acquisitions in the near future." <br> <br> Due to their excellent location with proximity within a key CBD and tourist areas, the hotels are primed to capture both business and leisure demand from domestic and international visitors alike. According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of inbound tourists in Q4 2023 has surpassed that of pre-pandemic levels, despite travel by Chinese tourists remaining more than 60% below the same period in 2019, where they were the largest inbound visitor group.

In 2023, our TSP business recorded revenue of RMB82,163 million, a decrease of 1.0% year-on-year. <br> <br> <b>Tower business.</b> Focusing on 5G network construction, we harnessed public policy support to unleash and share public and cross-sector resources. These initiatives helped reduce entry barriers and costs, therefore reinforced our competitiveness in resource coordination. Through increased sharing of existing site resources, wider use of social resources and greater effort in promoting the adoption of our integrated wireless communications coverage solutions, we have been able to effectively support the accelerated 5G network extension. We completed approximately 586,000 5G construction demand in 2023, of which more than 95% were achieved by sharing existing resources. We proactively captured the new construction demand for low-frequency network and network optimization, as well as stepping up our efforts in tackling difficult sites. This has effectively supported the stable growth of our Tower business. Leveraging our knowledge of construction features for comprehensive 5G coverage, we continued to launch innovative solutions for low-cost construction, products and services to satisfy customer demand economically and effectively. In 2023, our revenue from our Tower business was RMB75,023 million, a decrease of 2.8% from the previous year. However, after excluding the impact of the Commercial Pricing Agreements, our revenue increased by 2.0% year-on-year to RMB78,737 million on a comparable basis.

Our TSP tenancy ratio increased from 1.65 at the end of 2022 to 1.68 as a result of further improvements achieved through co-location. <br> <br> <b>DAS business.</b> The implementation of "co-build and co-share" policies by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and 13 other departments has given rise to an enabling business environment for our industry. We furthered the integrated and coordinated development of "resources + demands", with unified site entry and coordinated construction, focused on key business scenarios. Extended 5G coverage also enabled us to provide better service to support the segment for DAS construction demand. We continued to enhance product and solution design and quality control to strengthen our competitive advantages in cost, service quality, and green and low-carbon operations. Through innovation in products and application of integrated solutions, we were able to provide customers with differentiated passive and active DAS sharing solutions, which helped satisfy the demand for 5G upgrading of existing DAS while further exploring shared value and scaling up the business. In 2023, our revenue from DAS business reached RMB7,140 million, up by 22.5% year-on-year. As of 31 December 2023, we had covered buildings with a cumulative area of 10.15 billion square meters, up by 37.3% year-on-year, while high-speed railway tunnel and subway coverage reached a cumulative length of 24,072 kilometers, up by 20.1% year-on-year. <br> <br> <b>Strengthened core competencies to sustain rapid growth of Two Wings business</b> <br> <br> In 2023, we continued to seize the opportunities brought by the development of the digital economy and the "Dual Carbon" goals. By focusing on key sectors and promoting innovation-driven development, we strengthened our core competencies and competitive advantages to sustain rapid growth of the Two Wings business, which recorded revenue of RMB11,497 million in 2023, accounting for 12.2% of our overall operating revenue, an increase of 2.5 percentage points from the previous year. <br> <br> <b>Smart Tower business</b>.

As of 31 December 2023, approximately 217,000 "telecommunication towers" had been upgraded into "digital towers", covering more than 40 industry segments concerning state planning and people's livelihood. These included forestry and grassland, environmental protection, water resources, agriculture, transportation, land, and emergency response. We maintained our market leadership in various scenario-based solutions including straw-burning prohibition, farmland protection, fishing law enforcement and bushfire prevention. We forged ahead innovation to further enhance our five major competitive advantages – platform, data, algorithm, application, and operation, establishing a unified nationwide network to achieve distributed deployment on our platform and centralized data operations. As a result, our multi-source data access capability and AI algorithm accuracy have been significantly improved, and our leading capabilities in products developed for different industries and scenarios have been further consolidated. We have built a "companion" service system and completed the building of professional network management platform for our Smart Tower business, equipped with the ability to accurately diagnose incidents occurring in the terminal devices, dispatch for tasks in real time and handle the incidents in a timely manner. We have strengthened our localized technical support capabilities, helping us promptly respond to customer requirements thus consistently enhanced customer experience and customer loyalty.

We reinforced our presence in the consumer battery exchange market while increasing our efforts to expand the battery exchange market of business customers. These initiatives have helped us achieve a rapid increase in user scale. As of 31 December 2023, the number of battery exchange users reached 1.145 million, with an addition of 243,000 since the end of 2022. We have further strengthened our leading position in the battery exchange market for light electric vehicle. <b>In the power backup business</b>, we optimized the intelligent monitoring platform for visualized, managed, and controlled operation, and improved the integrated four-in-one solution covering power backup, power generation, monitoring and maintenance while stepping up our efforts in promoting standardized power backup products. We focused on key industries such as communications, healthcare and finance by introducing the "energy butler" service to drive the rapid growth of our power backup business. In 2023, our Energy business achieved revenue of RMB4,214 million, a year-on-year increase of 31.7%, of which the revenue from battery exchange business accounted for RMB2,067 million, with its contribution to the Energy business reaching 49.1%. <br> <br> <b>Mr. Zhang Zhiyong, Chairman of China Tower </b>said, "In view of the strategic opportunities presented to us, we will deepen our 'One Core and Two Wings' strategy to achieve high-quality operations.

This outperformance hinges on our core strategy of bottom-up stock-picking which is underpinned by our investment philosophy of combining fundamental research with relative value approach in order to produce risk adjusted returns," says Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis. <br> <br> From analysing industry dynamics and trends to individual company business models, Datuk Wira De Alwis says the firm was able to gain valuable insights thereby enabling informed decision-making. "By monitoring most of the key companies within each sector, we were able to size positions effectively across portfolios. The construction, utilities and regional technology sectors were particularly successful, playing a crucial role in our achievement," he explains. <br> <br> On the current economic outlook for this year, Chief Investment Officer Lee Sook Yee says "We are adopting a tactical overweight position in equities, driven by a positive outlook. We will remain ready to readjust our allocations depending on market conditions. Our strategy remains consistent by focusing on bottom-up stock-picking." <br> <br> Globally, she sees some opportunities in the semiconductor sector due to increased AI demand. "AI adoption is in its early stages, with corporations and governments looking to ramp up deployments this year. We are also positive on sectors such as construction, property and renewable energy domestically due to an encouraging momentum in policy execution," Lee elaborates.

With calm and thoughtful behaviour encouraged during this period, there is a definite chance to benefit from it spiritually and financially despite the lower volume of trade of many tradable assets. In this article, the experts at Octa, a globally recognised financial broker, argue that the high self-discipline characteristic of Ramadan is conducive to financial growth as people start their trading journey or take their trading efficiency to another level. <br> <br> <b>Ramadan: an opportunity for financial growth </b> <br> <br> Muslims worldwide anticipate the holy month of Ramadan as a period of fasting, prayer, and reflection. People who observe it try to instill particular mindfulness, self-discipline, and calm into every aspect of their lives as the merit attributed to every virtue and prayer increases greatly during this month. This unique state of mind may be conducive to prudent decisions, including personal wealth management and boosting daily income. <br> <br> <figure data-width="100%" data-caption="Octa" data-caption-display="none" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/468610/image_1.jpeg" alt="Octa" width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure> <br> As a trendy choice among those who aim for a steady and accessible source of day-to-day financial gains, trading on the financial markets, particularly Forex, is a legitimate and time-efficient way to take a decisive step towards your goals. <br> <br> Throughout Ramadan, as all daily economic activity shifts down a gear, traders have a perfect opportunity to incorporate some learning into their daily routine and hone their Forex skills to make more informed decisions during their trading sessions. <br> <br> With that in mind, <a href="https://www.octafx.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=RamadanTrading&utm_content=XX">Octa</a>, a globally recognised investment platform since 2011, offers Muslim traders everything they need for making rational, data-driven, and forward-thinking decisions during their sessions, including all-time-free demo accounts, analytical tools, and educational materials. <br> <br> A unique offer designed specifically for promoting analytical and reason-driven approach to trading, <a href="https://www.octafx.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=RamadanTrading&utm_content=XX">Octa</a>’s Islamic accounts are Shariah compliant, available for all account types, and don’t require any documents or other identity proofs. <br> <br> <b>An analytical approach to trading <br> <br> </b> Despite some controversy, Forex trading is not prohibited during the month of Ramadan provided that traders meet certain requirements during their sessions. <br> <br> First and foremost, a righteous approach to Forex trading involves full transparency and accountability in transactions. Traders are encouraged to conduct careful analysis, implement risk management techniques, and ensure fair and transparent dealings in compliance with Islamic ethics. <br> <br> Another critical point is that virtuous Forex trading is based on conducting immediate transactions so that the exchange of currencies happens without delay. Spot trading is more in line with Islamic principles, as it avoids the uncertainty and ambiguity associated with delayed or future transactions. <br> <br> Operating in 180+ countries worldwide, <a href="https://www.octafx.com/?utm_source=media&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=RamadanTrading&utm_content=XX">Octa</a> uses its exposure to Islamic traditions to create a perfect trading experience for Muslim users. With its fast withdrawals, tight spreads, and commission-free transactions, Octa consistently delivers the main virtues of Muslim-friendly trading—transparency of operations, lightning-fast order execution, and a full-fledged analytical toolkit for systematic approach. <br> <br> <b>Specifics of trading during Ramadan </b> <br> <br> For Muslims who trade on the Forex market, Ramadan can be an excellent time to re-evaluate their approach. During this month, planning your trading sessions is highly advisable. Ensure you have a robust strategy and pick optimal time frames for your orders. <br> <br> Forex trading should be conducted with a specific purpose in mind, such as hedging against currency risk or facilitating trade and investment between different countries. Trading for the sole purpose of making a profit, without any underlying economic activity, is prohibited in Islam. <br> <br> Forex trading should not involve excessive risk-taking, such as trading on margin or taking positions that exceed one's financial capacity. In Islam, excessive risk-taking is considered to be gambling, which is prohibited by Sharia law. <br> <br> Ramadan is all about spiritual discipline and growth—a time of self-reflection and mental leanness when the most sacred and essential aspects of life come into focus.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 18 March 2024 - The Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Thailand has brainstormed concerns from all related agencies to prevent corruption risk regarding bribery to officials and reward for officials to ensure transparency work of its officials and confidence for both local and international investors. <br> <br> In efforts to uphold ethical conduct among officials who are directly involved with tacking corruption, the NCC recently held a meeting to brainstorm ideas on "Guidelines for Preventing Corruption Risk Regarding Bribe Payment and Rewards from the Performance of Officials". This is aimed at voicing opinions for the revision of the guidelines for rewarding officers with appropriateness, fairness, and consistency with the performance of duties, and remuneration based on performance for officials who work in tackling corruption in the country. <br> <br> According to the NACC, it has provided recommendations for the revision of the reward payment for the Customs Department, the Ministry of Finance is afraid that the rewards caused 'moral hazards' among officials who are involved in the process of tackling corruption. Following the reward, it encouraged the officials to focus only on tasks with high rewards or having rewards, while neglecting to perform tasks with low rewards or no remuneration, which may cause corruption inequality, and unfairness among civil servants. The reward could also be considered as the risk of conflict of interest of the authority in determining the eligibility for the award and determining the proportion of the reward. The officials could risk rewarding themselves which was not inconsistent with the purpose of the guideline that wants to promote effective law enforcement, or may lead to the creation of false evidence in the disbursement of bribes. <br> <br> The meeting was attended by representatives of relevant agencies including the Ministry of Finance, the Customs Department, the Comptroller General's Department Excise Department, the Office of the Narcotics Control Commission Anti-Money Laundering Office, the Royal Thai Police, the Office of the Auditor General, experts, executives and officers. <br> <br> The meeting focused on various issues covering: who is entitled to receive the reward, the proportion and rate of payment of the reward, the appropriateness and fairness of the reward, the prevention of risks of discretion and conflict of interest, and the changing trend in the process of giving bribery and reward, explained Mrs. Suwana Suwanjuta, NACC Commissioner, who chaired the meeting. <br> <br> However, with the modernization and connectivity of information technology today, this enables agility and efficient linkage of various data, as well as the NACC's credibility among international, the reward for officers could be revised to ensure the appropriateness of providing rewards for the authorities and to encourage government officials to enforce the law more efficiently and equitably in the bureaucracy. <br> <br> In this regard, the NACC hopes that the meeting will voice concern from all involved so that the revision of the guidelines to provide rewards to officials will be more efficient and ensure transparency for all involved, helping improve standards in tackling corruption with more advancing and modernizing measures, the NACC concluded. <br> <br> ---------------------------------------------------- <br> <br> Reference: https://www.nacc.go.th/categorydetail/20180831184638361/20240312183512? <br> <br> *This press release translation is funded by the National Anti-Corruption Fund (NACF). <br> <br> <b> </b> <br> <br>Hashtag: #IntegrityWay #AntiCorruption #ZeroCorruption #NACC #NACF<br><br><br><a href="https://nacc.go.th/english" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/generic_link.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://nacc.go.th/english</a><p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p><p></p><h4>National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), Thailand</h4><p>The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is a constitutional independent organization and supervised by nine commissioners selected from various professions.

However, a KPMG survey shows a more optimistic outlook from C-level executives in Hong Kong, suggesting that there is still a need for top talent who can drive results in their organisations. <br> <br> For KPMG's annual report titled <i> <i><a href="https://kpmg.com/cn/en/home/insights/2024/03/hong-kong-executive-salary-outlook-2024.html">Hong Kong Executive Salary Outlook 2024</a></i> </i>, 1,103 business executives and professionals were surveyed to measure employment trends and career opportunities. Among these, 552 work in Hong Kong or have a home base there and 551 work or have a home base in the Chinese Mainland. The research covered the latest headcount expectations, salary outlook, talent trends and other relevant topics. <br> <br> <b>David Siew, Partner, People Services, KPMG China,</b> says: "This year's results signal that there will continue to be demand from C-level executives for talent that can drive performance. Ongoing business transformation and the changing business environment will mean that roles and responsibilities will continue to evolve. In 2024, accessing more diverse talent pools and talent matching will be key for employers." <br> <br> Expectations for increased headcounts declined across all sectors compared to the prior year, with a corresponding increase in expectations for decreased headcounts. On the contrary, C-level decision-makers are more optimistic about headcount than the general workforce in 2024. Over 80% of executives are expecting no change or an increase in headcounts, with only 14% expecting a decrease. As these executives have better insight into their organisations' plans, their views may provide a better indicator of future trends. <br> <br> In 2023, 43% of respondents sought career moves, but less than half that percentage (15%) landed new roles, reflecting that talent matching is becoming more challenging and enterprises are failing to match talent with job positions. 39% of respondents are looking to make career moves in the first half of 2024, representing an increase compared to last year despite a challenging market environment. 74% of respondents who made career moves in 2023 saw a salary increment, with an average increment of 17%. <br> <br> From employers' perspective, 97% of the C-level and HR respondents experienced challenges in hiring the right talent to meet business demands. Among those, 63% found such challenges unmanageable. <br> <br> <b>Eric Cheng, Director, Executive Search and Recruitment (Hong Kong SAR), KPMG China,</b> says: "While fewer job seekers landed new roles in 2023, they remain active. We see challenges around enterprises failing to match talent with job positions and employees lacking the specific skills sought. Against this backdrop, organisations can consider investing in training existing staff to retain talent, and accessing additional recruitment channels to find new talent. Relatedly, professionals looking to make career moves may need to upskill to meet the needs of the market." <br> <br> Hong Kong professionals most commonly saw an increase of 3% to 5% following salary reviews with the same employer in 2023, which aligns with government figures showing an increment of 4.65% for civil servants in the middle and lower salary bands. Respondents in Hong Kong also remain optimistic about their salary outlook, with 78% expecting an increase in salary in 2024, compared to 74% last year. Most respondents are expecting modest increments in their upcoming salary reviews. <br> <br> In 2024, 73% of respondents would consider relocating within or to the Greater Bay Area (GBA) for work. The top three factors luring them to the region are better career and industry prospects, higher income, and exposure to a greater breadth of work. Innovation and technology, financial services, and professional and consulting services are expected to present the most job opportunities in the GBA. <br> <br>Hashtag: #KPMGChina<br><p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p><p></p><h4>About KPMG China</h4><p>KPMG China has offices located in 31 cities with over 15,000 partners and staff, in Beijing, Changchun, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Dongguan, Foshan, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou, Hangzhou, Hefei, Jinan, Nanjing, Nantong, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Tianjin, Wuhan, Wuxi, Xiamen, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR.
