ADVANCING NATIONAL ECONOMIES
The national contributions we make
Through our sustained presence in countries across ASEAN and South Asia, we are an engine for long-term development, helping to drive the region’s most vibrant emerging economies towards achieving their fullest potential.
In 2021, our OpCos continued to make a telling contribution to national economies across our markets of operation by providing long-term employment opportunities in the digital industry, supporting local vendors, and paying taxes to national governments. With the total value this generates, we continue to be one of the largest Foreign Direct Investors across our operating markets.
