Firms urged to make Asean region focal point of their growth plan

Ho Chi Minh City: The private sector should take the lead in pursuing an Asean growth strategy to become true Asean multinationals, said Maybank Kim Eng Group chief executive officer John Chong.

“The policy makers have put the building blocks and framework in place. The call goes out now to companies to make the region a focal point of their growth plan and pursue an Asean-centric strategy,” Chong said at Maybank’s inaugural Invest Asean Vietnam conference.
