| | | | The EU–Indonesia CEPA lowers tariffs, opens services, and raises ESG standards, reshaping investment decisions in Indonesia. | | | | | Effective October 1, 2025, Vietnam’s new Law on Corporate Income Tax (CIT) introduces a significant change to the country’s tax system. While the headline tax rate stays the same, the way corporate incentives are provided has been restructured. | | | | | Foreign companies often stumble in India due to recurring issues, such as choosing unsuitable entry structures, underestimating regulatory complexity, misreading consumer behavior, adopting flawed market models, and weak talent management. | | | | | India’s Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) has officially taken effect. The pact, negotiated since 2008, establishes a comprehensive framework for goods, services, investment, intellectual property, and sustainable development. | | | | | China’s 2035 climate pledges commit to cutting CO2 emissions across the entire economy by 7 to 10 percent from peak levels by 2035. For businesses, it signals a tightening regulatory environment, with growing pressure to align operations and reporting with China’s long-term decarbonization strategy. | | | | | This year, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will jointly have 8 days off. Private companies in China, however, have the right to determine their own schedules—that is, allow for additional days off—so long as the official holiday calendar is maintained. | | | | | This guide outlines the due diligence for acquisitions in Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain by looking at recent legislative changes. |
