"We hope that in 2027 we will be producing bioethanol in Merauke, South Papua," Yuliot said.

Economic Watch: Richer Asians put money on Hong Kong's wealth management boom as city diversifies products
by Xinhua writer Liu Yinglun HONG KONG, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Hong Kong's wealth management sector is receiving a particular boost in 2025 on top of years of steady growth owing to a brisk stock market and new investment options for an expanding high-net worth clientele in Asia. Latest data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) showed that total assets under management of major private banks in Hong Kong grew by 14 percent in the first half of this year as compared to the end of 2024. Standard Chartered said the number of affluent clients in Hong Kong grew 8 percent in the first half of the year with net new money from such clients up 35 percent. HSBC's wealth management business added 600,000 clients. The surge in asset and wealth management is driven both by growing wealth in the Asia-Pacific region and Hong Kong's inherent strengths including a mature financial market and a robust banking system, noted HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue. Private wealth in Asia-Pacific is among the fastest-growing worldwide. The number of individuals with a net worth of over 10 million U.S. dollars in Asia surpassed 850,000 in 2024, up 5 percent year on year. Among them, over 470,000 are from the Chinese mainland, accounting for 20 percent of the global total, according to the Wealth Report 2025 published by real estate consultancy Knight Frank. "Hong Kong offers mainland high-net-worth individuals access to global assets. Foreign investors, increasingly heartened by China's economic prospects, can find here Chinese assets to keep in their portfolios," Pau Ka-Yan, tax partner of Deloitte China, told Xinhua. The Hong Kong bourse has recorded brisk tradings so far this year because global investors continued to increase their holdings in awe of the economic vitality of the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, market observers noted. By the end of July, total market capitalization of Hong Kong's securities market hiked 44 percent year on year. By mid-July, the 52 initial public offerings raised 124 billion Hong Kong dollars (15.8 billion U.S. dollars) in total, nearly seven times the value recorded in the same period last year. To bolster the wealth management sector, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government has introduced tax incentives for family offices and enhanced financial services. Now it is tapping the potential of digital assets. Total transaction value of digital asset-related products and tokenized assets in banks surged 233 percent to 26.1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the first half of the year, local data showed. The licensing process for fiat-referenced stablecoins issuers began after the Stablecoins Ordinance took effect on Aug. 1. "The availability of digital asset-related products has given Hong Kong a unique edge in the eyes of high-net-worth clients, who are developing an appetite for new asset types," said Pau. Analysts expect the wealth management business to sustain growth in the coming years as market connectivity strengthens between the mainland and Hong Kong. The HKSAR government is working to launch a renminbi counter for stock connect schemes so that mainland investors can buy Hong Kong stocks with greater ease. Global banks have announced plans to expand their wealth management businesses in Hong Kong. David Liao, co-chief executive of Asia and Middle East of HSBC, told Xinhua that the company will boost its private banking team this year and upgrade services through wealth centers across Hong Kong.

Ringgit likely to trade cautiously next week amid US tariff concerns
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit is anticipated to trade cautiously against the dollar next week as investors monitor external developments, particularly regarding United States tariffs. In a research note, Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd stated that the ringgit should find support from domestic economic stability and a softer US dollar, likely holding near current levels. "President Donald Trump's proposed chips and pharmaceutical tariffs will likely dampen sentiment in risk assets. Investors are also tracking pressure on BRICS and signs of strain in the US-China trade detente. "Trump's rapid-fire policy moves and media headlines continue to drive market uncertainty,' it said. As such, the research firm said the ringgit has traded higher this week, hovering within the range of 4.23-4.24 after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report pulled the greenback lower. On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the ringgit ended the week higher against the greenback, closing at 4.2420/2480 versus 4.2750/2815 previously. However, the local note traded lower against a basket of major currencies. On Friday, the ringgit depreciated vis-à-vis the Japanese yen to 2.8720/8763 from 2.8407/8452 the previous week, declined against the British pound to 5.7034/7114 from 5.6208/6293 and eased versus the euro to 4.9381/9451 from 4.8752/8826. The ringgit also trended lower against ASEAN currencies. The local note slipped against the Singapore dollar to 3.3014/3064 from 3.2907/2960 at the end of last week, inched down versus the Thai baht to 13.1173/1419 from 13.0058/0319, slid versus the Indonesian rupiah to 260.3/260.8 from 258.8/259.4 and edged down against the Philippine peso to 7.43/7.44 from 7.35/7.36 in the preceding week. - Bernama
