KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) -- Global treasury and risk consultancy, Zanders has strengthened its presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with the opening of a new office in Singapore.
The move underlines the firm’s commitment to supporting its growing client base in the region, particularly multinational corporations, regional treasury centres (RTCs) and financial institutions seeking specialised advisory services in treasury, risk and financial performance.
Zanders Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner, Laurens Tijdhof noted that the expansion allows the firm to better serve these clients and reinforces its position as a truly global consultancy firm.
“Many of our global clients operate RTCs in Singapore and require their strategic consultancy partners to have a local presence as well,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Zanders Singapore’s newly appointed Director, Pulat Yunusmetov added that the expansion brings together regional expertise and global knowledge, further enhancing the firm’s capabilities across its international operations.
Singapore, a global hub for treasury operations, hosts numerous multinational companies and RTCs that are accelerating their treasury transformation efforts. The new office complements Zanders’ existing operations in Tokyo, Japan, enhancing its ability to provide on-the-ground strategic consultancy services in the region.
The company noted that ASEAN markets are maturing rapidly, with growing demand for treasury transformation expertise. Despite this, few advisory firms possess the specialised capabilities required to meet these evolving needs.
Zanders also aims to leverage Singapore’s robust financial ecosystem, which is deeply connected to global banking institutions. This will enable the firm to strengthen its bank channel management and collaborate more closely with treasury solution providers.
The increased exposure to complex treasury operations in ASEAN is expected to generate insights that will benefit Zanders’ clients in other key markets, including Europe and the United States.
