Zanders Further Strengthens Global Presence With Growth of APAC Team, Opens New Office in Singapore
Zanders, a leading global treasury and risk consultancy, is strengthening its presence in Asia-Pacific with a newly established office in Singapore. This new presence reinforces Zanders' commitment to serving its growing client base in the region, supporting multinational corporations, regional treasury centers (RTCs), and financial institutions with specialized treasury, risk, and financial performance expertise.
As a global hub for treasury operations, Singapore hosts numerous large multinational companies and their RTCs that are rapidly advancing their treasury transformation initiatives. By building a stronger presence in the region alongside its well-established Tokyo, Japan-based team, Zanders is positioned to deliver on-the-ground strategic advisory services and enhance support for clients navigating the complexities of the financial industry.
'Many of our global clients operate regional treasury centers in Singapore and require their strategic consultancy partners to have a local presence as well. Our team expansion in Singapore allows us to be closer to their operations in Southeast Asia, providing hands-on support while reinforcing our position as a truly global consultancy firm,' said Laurens Tijdhof, CEO and Managing Partner of Zanders.
Beyond Singapore, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) markets are rapidly maturing, with companies increasingly investing in treasury transformation projects. The demand for deep treasury expertise remains high, yet specialized advisory firms remain scarce. Zanders' presence in the market fills this gap, offering clients access to world-class consulting tailored to the unique regulatory and operational landscapes of the region.
'The treasury landscape in ASEAN is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Many companies are looking for partners with specialized expertise to drive their transformation initiatives. With our local presence and global expertise, we provide end-to-end support from treasury strategy to implementation, aligned with industry best practices,' said Mitchell Ponder, Regional Director APAC at Zanders.
Singapore's financial ecosystem is deeply interconnected with global banking institutions, providing Zanders with new avenues to enhance its global bank channel management and collaborate with specialized treasury solution providers. This increased exposure to the complex treasury processes in ASEAN will generate insights that will benefit Zanders' advisory practices in Europe and the US, where the company already has a strong presence.
'Joining Zanders at this exciting moment allows the company to combine more local expertise with the firm's extensive global experience. The opportunity to work closely with banking partners, large firms, and financial institutions in this region strengthens not only our APAC practice but also our global capabilities,' said Pulat Yunusmetov, the newly appointed Director at Zanders in Singapore.

Japan's exports fall more than expected in July on US tariff pressures
By Makiko Yamazaki TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's exports dropped for a third straight month in July, government data showed on Wednesday, as U.S. tariffs continued to weigh on manufacturers, raising concerns about the outlook for the country's export-reliant economy. The outcome follows unexpectedly strong growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in the April-June quarter, separate data showed last week, fuelled by surprisingly resilient exports and capital expenditure. Total exports from the world's fourth-largest economy dropped 2.6% year-on-year in July in value terms, more than a median market forecast for a 2.1% decrease and following a 0.5% drop in June. Exports to the United States in July fell 10.1% from a year earlier, while those to China were down 3.5%, the data showed. Imports in July dropped 7.5% from a year earlier, compared with market forecasts for a 10.4% fall. As a result, Japan ran a deficit of 117.5 billion yen ($795.4 million) in July, compared with a forecast of a 196.2 billion yen surplus. The United States imposed 25% tariffs on automobiles and auto parts in April and threatened 25% levies on most of Japan's other goods. It later struck a trade deal on July 23 that lowered tariffs to 15% in exchange for a U.S.-bound $550 billion Japanese investment package. The agreed tariff rate on automobiles, Japan's largest export sector, is still far higher than the original 2.5%, exerting pressure on major automakers and parts suppliers. Japanese automakers have mostly absorbed additional tariff costs by cutting prices to protect shipment volumes. But economists expect them to eventually pass on costs to U.S. consumers, which could hamper their sales in the U.S. market.

Japan's Exports Fall Most in Four Years as Tariff Pain Deepens
Japan's exports sustained their steepest drop in more than four years as US tariffs continued to weigh on global commerce, clouding the outlook for economic growth at a time when personal spending remains unsteady. Exports fell 2.6% in value in July from a year earlier, sliding more than the median forecast of a 2.1% decline, the Ministry of Finance reported Wednesday. The downturn, led by cars, auto parts and steel, was the biggest since February 2021. Export volumes rose by 1.2%, suggesting exporters are continuing to absorb US tariff costs by cutting selling prices to preserve market share.
