This week's primary foreign investment news
from our ASEAN, China, India, Russia, Belt & Road and Vietnam Briefings.
---

 
 

HEADLINES: This week we look at exciting new tech foreign investment opportunities in Singapore, examine Vietnam’s growing health supplement consumer market, and look at labelling processes for China’s vegetarian and vegan market. Heading north, we look at the impact of the China-Mongolia DTA, and to the west, see how India is reconnecting with ASEAN through new highways developments. Sticking with Asia, but looking at Russia, we have two articles explaining how Asian exporters are moving into the consumer market vacated by the European Union and how this operates under sanctions. We finish with our usual Belt and Road investment round up.

ASEAN
2023 Foreign Investment Opportunities in Singapore
Singapore has been a consistent recipient of global investment, and its geostrategic position as the heart of the ASEAN free trade bloc, with free trade access also to China and India, has made it a foreign investment hub. We explain where the hot opportunities are.
 
Vietnam’s Health Supplement Market: Trends, Opportunities, Market Entry
Vietnam’s health supplement market is seeing a rapid increase due to the country’s demand for health-related and personal care products. We give an overview of the health supplement market including industry drivers, challenges, and market entry options and requirements for investors.
 
CHINA
How to Verify and Label Vegetarian, Vegan, and Plant-Based Products in China
China has few self-identified vegans and vegetarians but loves vegetables and plant-based foods. As the appetite for animal-free products and alternative proteins grows, effective labeling and marketing are crucial to getting through to the right consumers.
 
China-Mongolia DTA: What Are the Key Elements?
In recent years, the comprehensive strategic partnership between Mongolia and China has developed rapidly, leading to accelerated investment and trade activities between the two countries.
 
INDIA
India Eager for Expansion of Trilateral Highway to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam
India is keen to push for the expansion of the Trilateral Highway to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam and increase trade with ASEAN.
 
RUSSIA
Parallel Imports To Russia Could Reach US$16 Billion By Year End
Consumers in Russia who want goods from brands such as Apple, Gucci, Zara, Bentley, Mercedes and so on, who exited the Russian market, may still continue to purchase them from resellers at a slight mark-up.
 
Crisis, What Crisis? How Russian Consumers Have Shifted Their Purchases Away From Europe And Developed Their Own Replacements
The extent to which Russian supply chains have already moved away from the EU is apparent when examining basic supermarket items. All this hasn't prevented Western media - and politicians - from promoting an image of Russia as backward, in a severe depression, with empty shelves and no money to purchase anything. The reality is that this is very far from the truth.
 
BELT & ROAD INITIATIVE

This week we look at China’s east coast BRI Port of Lianyungang, which exclusively services Central Asia and has expanded operations to Uzbekistan, while looking at crypto developments in Iran and China’s massive Saudi energy deal.
