With a changing of country leaders, come a change in policies and mandates – which will have an impact on your business.
We’ll go through some of the upcoming leadership changes and where their policies are heading:

  • In the Philippines, elections have just been held where President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr succeeded Rodrigo Duterte after a landslide election victory.
  • Elections are due in Thailand and Malaysia by early 2023 and late 2023 respectively.
  • Can exiled former Thai leader Thaksin sway redshirts to oust Prayuth in the election?
  • Will Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob bow to internal pressure to call an early election?
