Asia is playing an integral role in the Global GDP: OECD Report
Reportedly, the Asian economy contributes to almost 31% of the Global GDP, and the vibrant region is home to approximately 55% of the world's premier companies.
Asia is playing a great role in public equity markets, especially for the growth-hungry companies. While other major areas of the Asian capital markets remain underdeveloped and struggling to join the mainstream economic line.
Despite the fueled market-based financing in the Asian region, corporate financing in multiple Asian countries is still linked to banks, with a high share of credit value to the banks.

Three Wheelers defy market slump as auto industry navigates challenges
Mumbai, July 15 (UNI) India's automotive sector delivered a mixed performance during the first quarter of FY2025-26, with most segments registering marginal declines despite record achievements in select categories, according to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) data released here today. Passenger vehicle sales dipped 1.4% year-on-year to 1.01 million units, though crossing the million-unit threshold for the second consecutive Q1. The segment witnessed divergent trends: utility vehicles grew 3.8% to command 66% market share, while passenger cars declined 11.2%. Exports surged 13.2% to 204,000 units - a quarterly record - fueled by Middle Eastern, Latin American, and emerging market demand under preferential trade agreements. Two-wheeler wholesales fell 6.2% to 4.67 million units amid industry-wide inventory corrections, despite 5% retail growth driven by wedding season demand. Scooters gained 2.15% market share within the segment, while exports jumped 23.2% to 1.14 million units on revived neighboring markets. Three-wheelers emerged as the standout performer, achieving historic Q1 sales of 165,000 units with 0.1% growth. Urban transport demand boosted passenger carriers, while cargo variants rode intracity logistics growth supported by easier financing. Exports soared 34.4% to 96,000 units. Commercial vehicle sales declined marginally by 0.6% to 223,000 units. "While three-wheelers achieved their highest-ever Q1 performance, other segments faced headwinds," stated SIAM Director General Rajesh Menon, noting passenger vehicles and two-wheelers contracted 1.4% and 6.2% respectively. Industry leaders express cautious optimism for Q2, banking on festive season demand, potential rural recovery from forecasted above-normal monsoons, and improved affordability from the Reserve Bank of India's 100-basis-point cumulative rate cuts. Supply chain concerns persist, particularly regarding China's new export controls on rare earth magnets critical for EV manufacturing. UNI AAA BM
