"The maritime industry is more than the sum of its parts; it is a community united by shared interests and goals. We are custodians of a legacy that connects continents and cultures. Our ships are the carriers of progress, fuelling economic growth worldwide." - Angad Banga, Chief Operating Officer and Director, The Caravel Group, and Chairman of The Hong Kong Shipowners Association In his keynote address at the 15th Annual Marine Money Hong Kong Ship Finance Forum, Angad detailed the essential role of the maritime sector in global commerce, emphasising its resilience, adaptability, and the transformative effects of digitalisation and sustainability. The forum hosted over 120 delegates from Hong Kong and beyond, addressing macroeconomic and geopolitical impacts on shipping, exploring capital avenues in China and the Far East, and devising strategies for navigating an evolving market. #MM #MMHK2024 #Maritime

What happens if Donald Trump becomes President of the USA 2025? Of course, a lot of things will change then. In this post, I just want to mention the potential for Vietnam. Why? As you may know, Trump had a tight economy policy with China. 4 years ago, there was an economic fight between China and the US when Trump was President. At that time, a lot of enterprises tried to move some or all of their business to Vietnam or other ASEAN countries, such as Singapore. That time had great opportunities to attract FDI companies to Vietnam. Recently, some of US companies asked me about the procedures to set up a business in Vietnam because they want to move some of their business from China to Vietnam to avoid taxation in case Trump will become President in 2025. In my opinion, Vietnam will be an ideal destination for Foreign Direct Investors on this occasion. Therefore, we need to prepare well enough to attract a number of Foreign Direct Investors, companies, and capital. HT and I will try our best to support for all foreign investors and Vietnamese enterprises based on our legal mindset and market research. #HTLaw #Investment #Vietnam

To better understand the Belgian and Chinese regulations, join us for this free seminar: https://lnkd.in/eQchXBPC ODI Approval in China is all about getting the green light from the Chinese government to invest out of China, either in acquisition or green field investment, while #FDI National Security Review in Belgium is about making sure that #foreigninvestments don’t pose any risks to Belgium’s national security.
