Following last year’s stunning election results in Malaysia and subsequently testy bilateral ties, all eyes will be on five major elections set to take place across the region in 2019. A shock election result in Australia, India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines – Singapore’s major trading partners representing about 19 per cent of total exports – could pose risks to businesses with significant exposure to these markets.
Our view is that country risk will continue to be a cause for concern in an interconnected economy like ours and businesses need to expect the unexpected. Working with the right partners both locally and overseas can help businesses find the right solutions to prepare for any eventuality.
