the best is yet to come. One of those experts is Anoop Singh,
head of IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department, who predicted
recently that Asia’s economy could be larger than that of the
US’ and European Union’s combined by 2030. By then, the
region’s share of world GDP could swell from about 30% now
to 40%. “Twenty years from now, Asia’s economy as a whole Glenn Osaki

half the size of the G-20,”said Singh. “These are incredible
things taking place.”
What is significant about Asia’s economy is its increasingly
strong foundation of domestic demand. Not surprisingly,
China and India – and the region as a whole – suffered far
less during the global economic crisis than their Western
counterparts. Asia is rapidly integrating into the global
economy, and its businesses are beginning to grow and look
for new markets, regionally and beyond. All of this signals a
pivotal shift whereby Asian nations will actually begin to drive
global economic currents – not simply react to them. This
reality, no doubt, requires a new kind of multilateral approach
in which cross-border communication with a growing set of
stakeholders becomes more important than ever.
From street-side markets to some of the busiest stock
exchanges in the world, the conversations in this part of the
world are always on – and getting louder by the day. Finding a

4. Emerging markets - Asia
Asia is fast emerging as the bright spot of the world economy. As the
region’s output continues to amplify, Asia accounts for a substantial
portion of the world’s exports and attracts an impressive share of global
foreign direct investment (FDI).
Asia has shown tremendous potential for continued long-term growth
and is fast cementing its position in the global economy. Rapid progress
in the technological sphere, together with stronger financial and trade
linkages, have further provided an impetus for growth across the region.
06 According to a recent International Monetary Fund’s forecast, China will
07 continue to lead the world’s growth at 9% in 2012, with India following
at 7.5%. PriceWaterhouseCooper’s recently published annual CEO
Survey states that 84% of worldwide CEOs said they’ve fundamentally
changed their company strategy in the past two years to focus on
emerging markets, primarily China and India. These statistics further
substantiate the increasing importance of Asia.
Financial communications can no
longer be treated as a matter of
choice
Market dynamics are changing. As newer markets
emerge, they present vast opportunities as well as
specific demands. Financial communications help
meet these demands and further create goodwill
and value. It is an effective medium to help establish
new affiliations and strengthen existing relations.
This is where our KNOW-HOW
comes in
We are MSLGROUP Asia Financial and what we do is
secure what works best for you.
5. New era for
