Wee Ee Cheong, UOB's CEO, highlighted the region's attractiveness for investment and UOB's role in supporting Chinese enterprises in ASEAN.

The collaboration builds on the success of their partnership since 2012, contributing to an 81% increase in China's FDI into ASEAN from 2016 to 2022, according to a press statement by the bank.

UOB's FDI Advisory Unit, established in 2011, has facilitated over S$22b FDI into Southeast Asia from China since 2020, creating over 50,000 job opportunities. The MOU signing ceremony, attended by over 100 delegates, took place at UOB Plaza.
