Explainer: Amended Lao Law on Foreign Currency Management

Explainer: Amended Lao Law on Foreign Currency Management
Foreign and Lao currencies.

Over the past two years, Laos has experienced a sharp depreciation of its local currency, the LAK, against foreign currencies. The government has taken a series of measures to thwart this depreciation and get the local currency back on track. One of these measures was the closure of foreign exchange shops, other than those of the commercial banks, to afford the Bank of Lao PDR better control over the exchange rate throughout the country.

Japan’s Waseda University Students Win Inaugural Asia Pacific ULI Hines Student Competition with Plan to Transform Singapore’s Jurong Lake District

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 31 May 2023 – A team of four graduate students from Japan’s Waseda University clinched top honours at the inaugural Urban Land Institute (ULI) Hines Student Competition Asia Pacific out of 19 participating university teams. The two other finalists were from Vietnam and South Korea.

The brainchild of Gerald D. Hines, developer and founder of the Hines real estate organisation, the competition raises interest in urban development among younger generations. Competing students apply their knowledge of all aspects of real estate and land use to devise development projects for an existing site in a major city.

The winning entry was selected by a jury of leading real estate leaders that included Ray Lawler, chief executive officer, Asia Pacific, Hines; Yvonne Lim, group director of physical planning, Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA), among others.

Teams were tasked with addressing issues of equity, housing affordability, accessibility, and sustainability in their proposals to redevelop the Jurong Lake District (JLD). Team Omusubi (comprised of Kento Yoshino, Taichi Kawasaki, Haoyang Xu, and Misato Fujii) from Waseda University proposed a plan, titled “Jurong Urban Health Campus” which envisions a transformation of JLD into a liveable and connected environment. It holistically integrates Singaporeans’ lifestyles and heritage with nature so neighborhoods have easy access to community-centric amenities and green spaces.

“We are grateful for Hines’ partnership with ULI and for bringing the competition to the Asia Pacific region so students here can take a hands-on approach to solving real-world challenges in the built environment,” said David Faulkner, president, ULI Asia Pacific. “I would like to congratulate Team Omusubi and all the competitors on displaying tremendous passion for design and urban development.”

“As the fastest-growing economic powerhouse in the world, the region faces challenges such as ageing populations, climate change, and urban migration. We will be in a better position to solve these problems if we support and inspire the next generation of leaders to create more liveable and sustainable communities,” Ray Lawler, juror and chief executive officer, Asia Pacific, Hines.

The Flexi Group Doubles its Flexible Workspace Footprint in Singapore and Australia

Now Offering 4 flexible workspace solutions in each destination

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 31 May 2023 – The Flexi Group, one of APAC’s largest flexible workspace providers, which is the business combination target of TG Venture Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: TGVC) (“TGVC“), has announced continued expansion by doubling its number of locations in both Singapore and Australia through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

Unified in 2022 following a merger of three leading brands – the Hive, The Cluster and Common Ground – The Flexi Group now has 43 locations in 11 cities and 8 countries including Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

The acquisition in November 2022 of two former Found8 coworking locations, which have become the Hive North Bridge Road and the Hive Tanjong Pagar, brought the total number of Flexi Group locations in Singapore to four, joining the Hive Carpenter and Hive Lavender spaces.

In May 2022, The Flexi Group, through a subsidiary of its Australian subsidiary (“the Hive Australia”), entered into a partnership agreement with Hirsch & Faigen, pursuant to which the Hive will be the anchor tenant to Hirsch & Faigen’s latest $70 million office building in Melbourne’s East. Also, in October 2021, the Hive Australia signed a partnership agreement to occupy the three upper levels of the historic Milton House on Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. The two new locations, the Hive Abbotsford and the Hive Milton House, which will both open in mid-2023, will join the existing Hive Collingwood and Cluster CBD locations in Melbourne, Australia.

Unlike other flexible workspace operators, The Flexi Group has increasingly been pursuing an asset-light approach to its real estate ventures, partnering with landlords on joint ventures instead of leasing office space and taking on potentially significant financial obligations under rental agreements. By partnering with The Flexi Group, landlords can offer increased flexibility to tenants, as well as improve greater building engagement by offering them access to events, agile work solutions and bookable meeting and event spaces.

The Flexi Group’s multi-brand for a multi-demographic approach is unusual in the industry and creates the opportunity to partner with landlords across a variety of asset classes with differentiated pricing, building, location, and office size preferences, thus allowing each brand to grow strategically across the globe.

Chief Executive Officer of The Flexi Group, Chris Edwards, says “We see an incredible opportunity to expand our network both organically and through acquisitions in both Australia and Singapore, meeting the significant demand we’ve seen for the hybrid work model in both markets. Despite the economic headwinds, we are extremely bullish for the future of flexible working and looking forward to continued growth in the region.”
