CelcomDigi onboards first 100 SMEs, partners to vendor empowerment initiative

KUALA LUMPUR: CelcomDigi Bhd has onboarded nearly 100 Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and exclusive sales partners from over 60 companies into the first cohort of its newly-launched Vendor Empowerment and Excellence Programme (VEEP). The first phase of the programme began with a focus on building ESG fundamentals using the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide (SEDG) for SMEs in supply chains, in collaboration with Capital Markets Malaysia (CMM). The guide provides participating SMEs with practical tools to integrate responsible practices, as well as to measure and disclose their environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact in line with Bursa Malaysia's expectations for ESG-compliant corporate ecosystems. Delivering the closing address on behalf of CelcomDigi chief executive officer Datuk Idham Nawawi, chief corporate affairs officer Joachim Rajaram said the initiative marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to support local businesses. "SMEs form over 97 per cent of Malaysia's business landscape and are projected to deliver 45 per cent of the country's GDP this year, making them a driving force of our economy." "Supporting their growth is a strategic priority for us as part of our ESG commitment to build a sustainable value chain," said Rajaram. "With Malaysian companies making up over 72 per cent of our value chain, we see a clear opportunity to empower Malaysia's business landscape by starting within our own ecosystem," he added. He noted that VEEP is CelcomDigi's long-term commitment to uplift SMEs through structured support and strategic collaboration. "Today's partnership with CMM lays the groundwork for responsible business practices." "We aim to build a comprehensive programme that supports the growth and sustainability of SMEs, not just through ESG adoption but also via cross-sector collaboration to expand access to business opportunities, funding channels and technological advancements," he said. Rajaram also highlighted the broader goals of the programme which is to help SMEs professionalise their operations, strengthen responsible business practices and ultimately, position themselves to compete in both domestic and global markets.

US-China restart trade talks in Sweden, possible extension of tariff truce in play

STOCKHOLM, July 28 — Top economic officials from the United States and China are set to renew negotiations Monday, with an extension of lower tariff levels on the cards as President Donald Trump's trade policy enters a critical week. Talks between the world's top two economies are slated to happen over two days in the Swedish capital Stockholm, and they come as other countries are also rushing to finalise deals with Washington. For dozens of trading partners, failing to strike an agreement in the coming days means they could face significant tariff hikes on exports to the United States come Friday, August 1. The steeper rates, threatened against partners like Brazil and India, would raise the duties their products face from a 'baseline' of 10 per cent now to levels up to 50 per cent. Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have already effectively raised duties on US imports to levels not seen since the 1930s, according to data from The Budget Lab research centre at Yale University. For now, all eyes are on discussions between Washington and Beijing as a delegation including US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent meets a Chinese team led by Vice Premier He Lifeng in Sweden. Beijing said on Monday it hoped the two sides could hold talks in the spirit of 'mutual respect and reciprocity'. Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Beijing sought to 'enhance consensus through dialogue and communication, reduce misunderstandings, strengthen cooperation and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations'. While both countries in April imposed tariffs on each other's products that reached triple-digit levels, US duties this year have temporarily been lowered to 30 per cent and China's countermeasures slashed to 10 per cent. But the 90-day truce, instituted after talks in Geneva in May, is set to expire on August 12. Since the Geneva meeting, the two sides have convened in London to iron out disagreements. China progress? 'There seems to have been a fairly significant shift in (US) administration thinking on China since particularly the London talks,' said Emily Benson, head of strategy at Minerva Technology Futures. 'The mood now is much more focused on what's possible to achieve, on warming relations where possible and restraining any factors that could increase tensions,' she told AFP. Talks with China have not produced a deal but Benson said both countries have made progress, with certain rare earth and semiconductor flows restarting. 'Secretary Bessent has also signalled that he thinks a concrete outcome will be to delay the 90-day tariff pause,' she said. 'That's also promising, because it indicates that something potentially more substantive is on the horizon.' The South China Morning Post, citing sources on both sides, reported Sunday that Washington and Beijing are expected to extend their tariff pause by another 90 days. Trump has announced pacts so far with the European Union, Britain, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines, although details have been sparse. An extension of the US-China deal to keep tariffs at reduced levels 'would show that both sides see value in continuing talks', said Thibault Denamiel, a fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies. US-China Business Council president Sean Stein said the market was not anticipating a detailed readout from Stockholm: 'What's more important is the atmosphere coming out.' 'The business community is optimistic that the two presidents will meet later this year, hopefully in Beijing,' he told AFP. 'It's clear that on both sides, the final decision-maker is going to be the president.' Far from ideal For others, the prospect of higher US tariffs and few details from fresh trade deals mark 'a far cry from the ideal scenario', said Denamiel. But they show some progress, particularly with partners Washington has signalled are on its priority list like the EU, Japan, the Philippines and South Korea. The EU unveiled a pact with Washington on Sunday while Seoul is rushing to strike an agreement, after Japan and the Philippines already reached the outlines of deals. Breakthroughs have been patchy since Washington promised a flurry of agreements after unveiling, and then swiftly postponing, tariff hikes targeting dozens of economies in April. Denamiel warned of overlooking countries that fall outside Washington's priority list. Solid partnerships are needed, he said, if Washington wants to diversify supply chains, enforce advanced technology controls, and tackle excess Chinese capacity. — AFP

Greece to seek €1.2bil loans under EU's defence fund

Greece spends about 3% of its gross domestic product on defence, which is nearly double the average in the EU. (Wiki pic) ATHENS : Greece will seek to access a big European defence fund to secure cheap loans worth at least €1.2 billion to boost its military capabilities, prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday. EU countries have agreed to create a €150 billion fund, known as Security Action for Europe (SAFE), which will be financed through joint borrowing and give loans to EU members and certain other countries such as Ukraine for projects that enhance their defences and boost Europe's arms industry. 'We will put in an official request tomorrow to be included in the SAFE mechanism, seeking low-interest loans worth at least €1.2 billion to boost our national defence and the Greek arms industry,' Mitsotakis said in a post on Facebook. Greece is spending about 3% of its gross domestic product on defence – nearly double the average in the EU – but has been looking for funds to finance a €25 billion plan to modernise its armed forces by 2030, as it tries to keep pace with its eastern neighbour and historical rival Turkey. Mitsotakis also called on Europe to set up a joint fund to finance a unified continent-wide anti-missile defence shield.
