Middle-East Investors Looking at South East Asia Business Opportunities
Middle Eastern investors are increasingly looking to Singapore and other South-east Asian nations for deals as financial ties grow between the two regions.
So says Standard Chartered (Stanchart) Bank’s group head for origination and client coverage, Mr V. Shankar.
Stanchart is well-positioned to become a leading player in this area. In the past year, it has advised on more than 40% of the deal flow from Middle East to this region, which totalled US$8 billion (S$10.9 billion).
The figure was up from the US$987 million in the 12 months preceding, and Mr Shankar believes it will continue to rise in the years ahead.
‘The financial ties between the Middle East and Asia are strengthening by the day and we are seeing more East-East relationships being formed,’ he said in a recent interview.
‘Oil and natural gas from the Middle East are vital for China, Japan and all the fast-growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region, which are fast ramping up their infrastructure.
‘And the oil-generated capital and liquidity in the Middle East are fuelling a search for investments with high returns.’
Mr Shankar added that a recent report by McKinsey estimated that Gulf countries would have US$9 trillion to invest by 2020.
Stanchart began boosting its presence in the Middle East three years ago and now has a team of 50 corporate advisers there.
Mr Shankar, who is also a member of Stanchart’s group management committee, said this put the bank in an enviable position as Singapore’s business with the Gulf looks set to soar.
‘Between 2004 and 2006, total trade between Singapore and the Middle East shot up from US$20.9 billion to US$30.8 billion, an increase of 47 per cent.
‘Currently, Singapore companies are working on more than $6 billion worth of projects in the Middle East.’
Stanchart is no stranger to deals between the Republic and Gulf countries. It recently advised the Al-Futtaim group in its successful bid for Singapore’s oldest retailer, Robinson & Co.
Looking ahead, Mr Shankar said the bank would leverage on its experience and capabilities in the region to shore up its position as a major player.
‘Stanchart is well-placed to seize future opportunities, thanks to our growing geographical reach and the scale and breadth of our products and capabilities.
‘We have an established history in Singapore, having been in the market for 150 years, and we have been operating in the Middle East for more than 50 years. We feel we can act as a strong local bank in all the different markets for our clients.’

Come and invest in a Private Education Institute in Singapore. We are looking to expand our current campus in town. 20% return on investment in 2 years.
Proposal Summary:
We conduct Diploma and Bachelor programmes in Hospitality and Psychology. With our New University Partners, we have revamped our courses and are looking for new premises to expand.
We have been in the education industry since 2002 and have been running successfully.
We currently are in the heart of town with 10,000sq ft with 8 classrooms and a student count of 300.
We are a medium sized PEI, but with the new programmes on hand, we would be able to climb up to rub shoulders with the BIG 4.
The investment is to have more classrooms and a training kitchen. To hire more experienced lecturers to add value to our programmes. We are looking to have 600 students per year.
The renovation of the new premises would be the main bulk of the investment.
Based on a very modest estimate, the return on investment would be at 20% in a short span of 2 years. If this deal turns out well, you can consider our next project of an International School which is in our pipelines 2 years later.

As an educational establishment, we are interested to expand into the Middle Region. We are aware of the opportunities that await good English language courses not only in the Middle East, but also in Japan, South Korea, China and even India where only 6% of the population speak the language. We are looking at local Middle East investors either to buy over our rights or go with us hand-in-hand to introduce our English courses to the benefit of the people of the Middle East. Any proposal of any kind is welcome. We are open for negotiation. Thanks.

We live in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We currently have 2 pieces of land with a very strategic location, the area is very popular tourist destination in the city of Yogyakarta, namely Malioboro. Locations in the Malioboro area has about 1,100 M2 of land, on Jl Solo while near the airport of Yogyakarta Adisucipto about 1,800 M2.
But we want to build a hotel with the concept of Budget Hotels / Smart hotel which is currently the trend in the city. In the construction of this hotel we were experiencing funding difficulties because we had purchased these lands and we are currently looking for investors to cooperate in the construction of the hotel.
How do we get investors to invest in Indonesia, particularly in the field of hospitality? Please Investor recommendation can be given so that we can realize the construction of this hotel in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
