Guest: Wendell Tan, Principal, Arthur D. Little Malaysia
The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is being positioned as a potential game-changer for cross-border trade, finance and investment. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak with Wendell Tan, Principal at Arthur D. Little Malaysia, to explore whether the JS-SEZ could reshape financial services, from traditional banking roles to emerging fintech solutions.
They discuss the possibilities for tokenisation, cross-border digital payments, and innovative financing models that could lower barriers to capital access for businesses. Wendell also shares his thoughts on how regulatory sandboxes and a risk-based approach might encourage responsible financial innovation, offering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) a chance to thrive alongside larger corporations.
With a focus on managing currency risks, enhancing supply chain financing, and learning from Singapore’s regulatory playbook, this episode dives into the challenges and opportunities of turning the JS-SEZ’s ambitions into reality.
