Business News From Around Asia



This eCommerce Startup Uses Direct-to-consumer Model to Sell Healthy Products
Edwin Wang is the co-founder of Signature Market, a Malaysia-based direct-to-consumer ecommerce brand for healthy and organic products. Wang is a second-time startup founder and has been in the ecommerce industry for more than 20 years. He scaled his first company, Everyday.com.my, to an annual revenue of RM50 million (or ~US$12.3 million) before it was acquired by LivingSocial.

Mainland and Hong Kong Stocks Rally After Chinese Central Bank Moves to Stabilise the Yuan
The Hong Kong and mainland China stock markets rallied on Monday, after the Chinese central bank signalled it would guide the market more proactively in the face of a stronger US dollar and the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing. Shares in the automobile sector also surged after Brilliance China Automotive Holdings posted better than expected interim results.

Inviting the Next Financial Crisis
For much of the last decade, the economy has been growing and the stock market has been rising. But this steady climb is lulling bankers, lawmakers and regulators into repeating mistakes that contributed to that crisis and cost millions of people their jobs, homes and savings.
