Iran's Revival : What Will Your Strategy Be?Solidiance
On January 16th 2016, the 37 years of successive sanctions against Iran was lifted. Iran is currently home to 1.5% of the global GDP and is the 18th largest economy in the world, presenting itself as a strong business-case for significant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). For the Iranian government, this means an immediate access to USD 150 billion in frozen assets, and an opportunity to rebuild the country’s industrialized economy. For businesses, the most immediate and significant sanctions to be lifted against Iran are the financial sanctions that have barred the country from playing in the global financial markets. This white paper provides a review of the Iranian economy, comparing it to lucrative emerging markets in the Middle East and Asia such as Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, while also highlighting investment opportunities and risks in Iran today.
Role of In Vitro Diagnostics in Saudi ArabiaSolidiance
Saudi Arabia’s healthcare system currently relies heavily on government funding, which accounts for 65% healthcare spending in the country. Healthcare trends in Saudi Arabia's, e.g. demographic shifts, high incidence rates of lifestyle related diseases, growing demand for private healthcare services, and strategic investments made by the government have driven demands for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices. Solidiance co-developed this exclusive white paper with Kind Abdulaziz Medical City and Abbott Diagnostics, highlighting the contribution, value and future of in vitro diagnostics in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare system. According to the report, the future looks bright for IVD in Saudi Arabia, however it depends on how fast it can be adopted and implemented in order to benefit the government, healthcare players seeking to improve and invest on the sector, and also the people.
Emerging Opportunities in Myanmar's Diagnostic Imaging and In-Vitro DiagnosticsSolidiance
With the increasing economic growth and demographic changes in Myanmar, expenditure in the healthcare landscape is set to rise exponentially by the growing awareness of regular check-up for early detection of non-communicable diseases. The country is also witnessing rapid growth in healthcare demand which inevitably results in the development of the healthcare system. These shifts are creating emerging opportunities for private healthcare companies, especially in the Diagnostic Imaging (DI) and In Vitro Diagnostics market. However, demand for better healthcare services are increasing faster than supply, requiring global healthcare players to have a long strategic view of the market. This white paper analyses these trends and provides strategic insights to create a sustainable long term strategy to capitalize on these opportunities.
Indonesia's Green Industrial Estates and Best PracticesSolidiance
The rising trend of industrial estates in Indonesia coupled with a growing concern for environmental and social awareness have led industrial players in the adoption of green initiatives for their industrial estate. In the white paper, Solidiance mapped all 233 existing industrial estates in Indonesia, analyzes them using international best practices as a benchmark and our own framework that integrates three core pillars – economic, social, and environmental. The end result of assessment is the Best 5 Green Industrial Estates which can act as a guidelines for existing and new industrial players in shifting their business approach into a sustainable system. Although Indonesia’s industrial estates are still at a nascent stage, promising opportunities are visible in the marketplace.

Malaysia's Automation Sector: Pursuit of Opportunities and Shift of Industria...Solidiance
The market for Malaysia’s industrial automation vendors seem to have fallen into a state of idle uncertainty in which they will need to re-orientate and adapt in the market. Oil & gas, electronics and the automotive industries are facing rising costs and increased competition from neighboring markets.
Albeit high investments in 2014, the focus is now leaning towards chemicals and refinement of petroleum. In this white paper, Solidiance screened 198 automation vendors in Malaysia with 10 in-depth interviews on the business outlook and future industrial opportunities. The survey showed that firms radically turn away from manufacturing sectors such as oil & gas, and instead see the future in processing industries, e.g. chemicals and food processing.
China's chemical market is the world's largest which currently faces production overcapacity, slow growth of local demand, and high competition intensity. In this white paper, Solidiance addresses the questions on how to grow and maintain market position as many emerging competitors are moving up to the value chain through product upgrade, continuous innovation, and business expansion.
The answers are “The New Chemical Era in China” which will come up as the phenomenon resulting from the ability of different chemical companies to create their market identities to gain competitiveness.
This phenomenon is expected to gradually open new opportunities in development of different industry sectors, such as automotive, energy, construction, as well as electrical & electronic (E&E).
Myanmar, the Next Manufacturing Hub (focused on Special Economic Zones)Solidiance
Trade and investment liberalization, access to a large domestic and regional market, as well as abundant low cost labor make Myanmar attractive from a manufacturing perspective, but can Myanmar be the next China?
Solidiance further explores this topic in their latest white paper about Myanmar as the Next Manufacturing Hub. As the government is moving forward to increase share of industrials in the overall economy and boost exports to narrow the trade deficit as part of its 5 year plan.
However, infrastructure remains a key challenge and the government is now depending on the development of industrial and special economic zones (SEZ).
The market for Green Buildings in Vietnam | www.solidiance.com |Solidiance
Solidiance collaborated with the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) to produce a comprehensive assessment of Vietnam's Green Building Sector. The results show that the green buildings market in Vietnam is still at the early stages of development, primarily as a result of cost sensitivities, low electricity prices, short-term thinking and misaligned incentives between building developers and users, an underdeveloped regulatory market, and a limited supply of skilled employees with green building awareness. This paper elaborates the market overview of the green building industry, green certifications used i.e. LOTUS and LEED, BCA GreenMark, and the market opportunity currently existing in Vietnam.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

16. Singapore – a green building blueprint for Asia ?
Singapore’s 2009 $21B construction market is estimated to reach
$25B annually over the next five years.
Although green buildings currently comprise only 1% of buildings
in Singapore, in 2009 the Government of Singapore set an
ambitious target of greening at least 80% of all buildings in
Singapore by 2030.
To achieve this target, the Government of Singapore has
introduced a range of bold Green Mark incentives schemes for
new and existing buildings. The Government of Singapore has also
imposed a mandate for a minimum standard of environmental
sustainability for new buildings.
The Singapore Economic Development Board is also committing
A$300 M for the green energy push.
With its strong government support and early adoption, Singapore
will likely become a green building testing ground for MNCs
before full Asia roll up.

22. 5 existing green building myths in Asia
Myths Facts
“Green buildings cost more to build” -Sometimes higher costs (3-5%), falling to close to 0%
with practice
-Higher rental yields, higher capital values in more
developed markets
“Difficult to measure the ROI of green buildings” -Research and systems allow tenants and operators to
see the tangible benefits of greater energy efficiency,
e.g. reduced utility bills, reduced carbon footprint,
reduced maintenance costs.
-Additional benefits include better health, productivity
and comfort
“Energy costs are low” -Not true in the long run
(when subsidized) -Cheap energy is wasted energy
-Better usage of subsidies abound
-Inefficient buildings require more power plants
needlessly undermine energy security and the
environment.
“It is the tenant / owner’s job to be green, no benefits -While some power efficiency results are directly linked
for us developers” to the behavior of the live-in, no efficiency gains can
be developed if the building is built ‘as usual’
-Some governments even offer retrofit grants to
tenants to bypass this mindset.
“Green building materials and experts are hard to find” -There is some truth in this statement. Green materials
are not widely available across Asia and there are
limited independent information on the green
performance of such materials / systems.
-Market needs for specific green building training
-The industry needs to get organized

32. Key takeaway
The future focus of building energy efficiency will be key in
Asia, especially in China and India. Singapore will play a key
role in this industry. Japan need to be present and invest
now to reap benefits in the near future.
The overall CEO boardrooms are getting green. With
pressures from shareholders and consumers MNCs are
leading the pack in terms of green building standards
adoptions. Japan consumers and corporate understand
this the best in Asia.
Green buildings will no longer be individual ecosystem but
automated and integral elements of new eco-cities with
close to zero carbon emission, and maximized usage of
renewable energies. Asia has the potential to globally lead
this ‘greenolution’. Tokyo, Osaka and several other cities
are years ahead in implementing eco-cities. The Japan
urban experience needs to be leveraged in Singapore.
Japanese green building products and services have
already been tested and used in Asian weather conditions.
There will be more buy-in for Japanese products/ services
from Singapore and others Asian consumers.
