Understanding S.E. Asia supply chain

Strong volume growth accompanied by relatively low penetration of supply chain financing solutions makes this geography appealing to financiers and, importantly, to corporates looking to enhance the efficiency of their funding strategies.

Broadly half of the region's Top 1,000 revenue ranked trade finance corporates reported are unsure of what supply chain solutions to adopt as best fit for purpose.

Corporates in Asia also report neutral satisfaction with current trade finance solutions at an average rating of 2.40 (on a 1-5 scale, where 1=satisfied) with their primary trade finance providers.

Corporates themselves in South East Asia have also been looking for benchmark style insights to compare their own engagement with supply chain funding against. This report provides clear insights and benchmark metrics for both sides of the regional industry.

This bespoke market assessment has been based on direct interviews with the CFOs and Treasurers from the Top 100 revenue ranked corporates in each of six South East Asian countries – India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singaporeand Thailand.
