Australian telco Vocus receives government nod for TPG Telecom deal
The deal, first announced in 2024, received approval from Australia's competition regulator in March, positioning Vocus as one of the country's largest owners of underground fibre infrastructure.
The acquisition will allow Vocus to connect nearly 20,000 buildings across Australia.
Monday's clearance from the Foreign Investment Review Board marked the final regulatory approval needed for the transaction to proceed, TPG said in a statement.
Shares of TPG Telecom ended flat, while the broader ASX 200 index closed 0.2 per cent lower.

China warns Trump on tariffs, threatens retaliation on supply chain deals
BEIJING: China warned the Trump administration on Tuesday against reigniting trade tension by restoring tariffs on its goods next month, and threatened to retaliate against nations that strike deals with the United States to cut China out of supply chains. Washington and Beijing agreed to a trade framework in June that restored a fragile truce, but with many details still unclear, traders and investors on both sides of the Pacific are watching to see if it will unravel or lead to a lasting detente. On Monday, President Donald Trump began notifying trade partners of sharply higher US tariffs from August 1, after he delayed all but 10 per cent of his April duties on most countries to give them time to strike deals with the world's largest economy. China, initially singled out with tariffs exceeding 100 per cent, has until August 12 to reach an agreement with the White House to keep Trump from reinstating additional import curbs imposed during tit-for-tat tariff exchanges in April and May. "One conclusion is abundantly clear: dialogue and cooperation are the only correct path," the official People's Daily said in a commentary, referring to the exchanges in the current round of China-US trade tension. The article was signed "Zhong Sheng", or "Voice of China", a term the paper uses to express views on foreign policy. Reiterating Beijing's view that Trump's tariffs amount to "bullying", the paper added, "Practice has proven that only by firmly upholding principled positions can one truly safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests." The remarks set the stage for another round of tariff war should Trump stick to what the ruling Communist Party's official daily said was "a so-called 'final deadline.'" The average UStariff on Chinese exports now stands at 51.1 per cent, while the average Chinese duty on US goods is 32.6 per cent, with both sides covering all their trade, the Peterson Institute for International Economics said. The paper also took a swipe at regional economies that are considering striking tariff reduction deals with the United States that cut China out of their supply chains. Last week, Vietnam secured a tariff reduction to 20 per cent from 46 per cent with a deal for goods "transshipped" through it, typically originating from China, to be subjected to a levy of 40 per cent. "China firmly opposes any side striking a deal that sacrifices Chinese interests in exchange for tariff concessions," the paper said. "If such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will respond resolutely to protect its legitimate interests."

ChemOne secures US$350mil ICIEC cover for Pengerang project
KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore-headquartered petrochemicals company ChemOne Group has obtained US$350 million in insurance coverage from the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC) to support the financing of its Pengerang Energy Complex (PEC) in Johor, Malaysia. ChemOne said the insurance cover is designed to facilitate the involvement of Islamic banks in the project's financing, reflecting strong institutional confidence in the PEC's long-term strategic value for the region. ICIEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB). According to the company, the ICIEC insurance cover is structured under a Murabaha financing facility, offering 90 per cent coverage on both the principal and profit. This significantly reduces the risk for the participating Islamic banks, which include the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), Qatar National Bank (QNB), Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia, and Al Rajhi Bank KSA. "In addition, the IsDB Group, through IsDB and the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), has reinforced its commitment through a direct investment of US$150 million via Istisna-Ijara structures. "The IsDB Group's total support for PEC, combining direct investments and credit enhancement, now stands at over US$500 million, marking one of the group's most substantial engagements in Southeast Asia," it added. ChemOne chief financial officer Mayank Vishnoi said ICIEC's backing serves as a strong endorsement of PEC's financial robustness and its broad developmental significance. "PEC will drive regional industrial growth, create thousands of jobs, and support regional value chains, all while adhering to global standards for sustainable and responsible financing. "We are honoured to lead one of Asia's most impactful private-sector-led financings," Vishnoi said.

Trump slaps Malaysia with 25 tariff, trade war begins August 1
Published on: Tuesday, July 08, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 08, 2025 By: Malay Mail Text Size: US President Donald Trump holds a chart on reciprocal tariffs while speaking about how to 'Make America Wealthy Again' at the White House in Washington, DC, on April 2, 2025. — AFP pic KUALA LUMPUR: US President Donald Trump has announced a 25 per cent tariff on all Malaysian products entering the United States, effective August 1. The move, detailed in a letter to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, marks a sharp escalation in US-Malaysia trade relations. Trump cited Malaysia's 'Tariff, and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers' as the basis for the decision. The president claimed the US has suffered 'many years' of unsustainable trade deficits with Malaysia. He described the imbalance as a threat to both the US economy and national security. Trump further expressed disappointment over the lack of reciprocity in the bilateral trading relationship. 'Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal,' he wrote in the letter dated July 7. He added that goods transshipped to avoid the tariff would still face the highest applicable rate. Trump suggested that Malaysia could avoid the new tariff by encouraging companies to manufacture in the US. 'There will be no Tariff if Malaysia, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States,' he wrote. The letter left open the possibility of further tariff hikes if Malaysia raised its own trade barriers. Trump said any increase in Malaysian tariffs would be matched by equivalent US tariff additions. The letter appeared to blend formal diplomacy with campaign-style rhetoric aimed at domestic audiences. He also highlighted the US market as the world's most attractive, calling it 'the Number One Market in the World, by far.' * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
