Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Indices highlight resilience of GBA corporates despite Middle East uncertainties

April 27, 2026
HONG KONG, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released the latest Standard Chartered Greater Bay Area Business Confidence Index (GBAI), revealing that business sentiment among companies in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) remained stable in the first quarter of 2026 despite ongoing geopolitical and trade headwinds, notably oil price shocks and continued repercussions from the Middle East conflict.Maintaining Momentum Amid HeadwindsThe Q1 findings largely captured activity and business sentiment since the Middle East conflict began in late February, which has remained highly uncertain and weighed on overall business and market sentiment.Despite a reduced appetite for expansion amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties, business sentiment remained steady across the GBA. The “current performance” index for business activity in Q1 edged down marginally to 49.9 from 50.3 in the previous quarter, while the “expectation” index moderated to 50.4 from 51. Both indices hovered around the 50-neutral mark, indicating GBA corporates’ resilience, supported by favourable policies announced by the Chinese Government aimed at boosting the domestic economy, which in turn would partially offset the fallout of the Middle East conflict.The “current performance” index came down mainly driven by “raw material inventory”, “fixed asset investment” and “financing scale”. The latter two readings were believed to reflect more cautious sentiment among businesses in light of the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, “production/ sales”, “prices of finished goods/ services” and “profits” all experienced quarter-on-quarter expansion.The “expectations” index remained modestly positive, despite heightened external uncertainties. “New orders” held steady at 51.5, while “prices of finished good/ services” rose to 58.5. However, “profits” fell below the 50-watershed level, implying surveyed companies did not view price increases as sufficient to offset a likely rise in energy and material costs.Hong Kong to Sustain a Still-solid Growth PaceBy city, Hong Kong is expected to maintain a solid performance going forward. Although both the “current” and “expectation” sub-indices edged down to 52.7, these readings still comfortably stayed in expansionary territory, supported by improvements in “financial services” and “innovation and technology” sectors.Tommy Wu, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “In addition to the initial impact of surging global energy and freight costs, there are concerns about second-round impacts, such as higher input costs and weaker global demand. This is aligned with the latest reading, which shows a 2.3-point decline in “new export orders” to 47.5 for “current performance”, indicating a more cautious outlook for export demand. With the prolonged Middle East conflict, we anticipate global energy prices to be higher for longer and the second-round effects to become more visible in the coming months. These will likely weigh on business sentiment and appetite on making fixed investment. Nevertheless, Hong Kong has once again demonstrated its resilience amid market turbulence, and such resilience is expected to attract more global capital into HKD and Renminbi assets as safe-haven allocation.”Demand-boosting Measures Favour GBA BusinessesThe survey also investigated the impacts of a series of supportive policies from the Chinese government aimed at stimulating domestic demand in its thematic section. Among the new policy measures introduced by the Ministry of Finance in January, most respondents cited “loan interest subsidies for small, medium and micro-sized enterprises” (38.4%), “large-scale equipment upgrade subsidies” (36.9%) and “consumer goods trade-in subsidies” (31.7%) as the top domestic demand-boosting policies likely to have the most positive impact on their business.Wing Chu, Deputy Director of Research, HKTDC, said: “Demand-boosting stimulus is generating tangible benefits for GBA companies, helping to cushion external challenges amid the Middle East conflict. Targeted support, including loan interest subsidies, alongside measures aimed at stimulating consumer spending, is underpinning demand and supporting business activity across the GBA. Overall, policy-led demand support continues to serve as a meaningful tailwind for GBA businesses. While cost pressures and market competition remain key concerns, respondents are considering stepping up investment in talent and market promotion to sustain further business growth.”While many respondents believe stimulative policies could benefit their businesses by boosting online sales (36.6%) and reducing operating costs (33.8%), challenges faced by GBA corporates remain. Specifically, 54.9% of respondents identified labour costs as the biggest pressure point for their businesses, followed by rental costs (41.7%) and market competition (33.3%). Zooming into Hong Kong respondents, market competition was viewed as a more pressing challenge than rental costs, likely due to the increase in cross-border travel and change in consumption behaviours in recent years. In these circumstances, 38.7% would prioritise their investment in talent recruitment, followed by market promotion (38.1%) and personnel training (36.7%).About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjMwNjM2MTgxMQReport and photos download: https://bit.ly/4u3izEMWing Chu, Deputy Director of Research, HKTDC (right), and Tommy Wu, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered (left), announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) on 27 April 2026.Media enquiriesCorporate Affairs DepartmentStandard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited Flora Chiu Tel: (852) 3843 2285 Email: flora.chiu@sc.com Communications & Public Affairs DepartmentHKTDC Christy LeeClayton Lauw Tel: (852) 2584 4369Tel: (852) 2584 4472Email: christy.wn.lee@hktdc.orgEmail: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 54 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

Rumah tangga di Rumania menyalurkan dana untuk perawatan dan menargetkan pasar gelap dalam tahun pertama masa jabatan, laporan ONJN iGame

Rumah tangga di Rumania menyalurkan dana untuk perawatan dan menargetkan pasar gelap dalam tahun pertama masa jabatan, laporan ONJN

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Kantor Nasional Perjudian Rumania (ONJN) telah mempercepat berbagai reformasi perjudian seiring upayanya mendigitalisasi pengawasan dan menindak operator tanpa izin. Laporan aktivitas regulator yang diterbitkan pada hari Senin juga menekankan pembentukan mekanisme pendanaan formal untuk pengobatan masalah perjudian. Periode yang tercakup dalam laporan adalah April 2025 hingga April 2026. Penegakan hukum pasar gelap yang diperkuat Amandemen legislatif melalui Undang-Undang no. 141/2025 memperluas kewenangan ONJN, memungkinkan regulator untuk mengeluarkan perintah penghapusan konten perjudian ilegal dan meminta laporan bulanan dari operator kelas II yang merinci upaya pemain untuk mengakses platform daring tanpa izin. Selain itu, amandemen yang disetujui terhadap Peraturan Pemerintah Darurat (GEO) 82/2023 pada tahun 2024 mengakibatkan mesin slot hanya boleh berada di lokalitas yang memiliki populasi lebih dari 15.000 orang. Selama setahun terakhir, ONJN dilaporkan telah mengeluarkan lebih dari 60 perintah penghapusan konten ilegal dan mem-blacklist lebih dari 300 situs web perjudian tanpa izin. ONJN telah meluncurkan penyelidikan atas dugaan manipulasi pendapatan kotor perjudian (GGR) dan perbedaan pajak yang belum dibayar. Regulator telah mengajukan 70 pengaduan pidana dan mencabut 60 lisensi sebagai tanggapan atas pelanggaran ini. Aliran pendanaan formal pertama untuk pencegahan dan perawatan Untuk pertama kalinya, ONJN pada tahun lalu mengalokasikan pendanaan negara untuk inisiatif perjudian yang bertanggung jawab melalui program baru "Aware and Free". Program tersebut memiliki anggaran sebesar €5 juta ($5,8 juta) dalam bentuk pendanaan non-reimbursable. ONJN membagi pendanaan tersebut ke dalam tiga kategori: proyek pencegahan dan perlindungan yang dipimpin LSM, pengembangan infrastruktur untuk pusat perawatan kecanduan yang dikelola oleh otoritas publik, dan dukungan untuk kegiatan penelitian. Pendanaan ini merupakan konversi sumber daya yang sebelumnya tidak dialokasikan menjadi dukungan nyata bagi penjudi rentan. Implementasi program akan dimulai pada bulan Agustus dan berjalan hingga Desember. Pengecualian diri dan peningkatan perlindungan pemain Pada awal mandat saat ini, ONJN mewarisi lebih dari 30.000 permintaan pengecualian diri yang belum terselesaikan. Regulator kini mengoperasikan sistem yang mencakup sekitar 54.000 individu yang mengecualikan diri. Regulator menyusun Rancangan Peraturan Darurat yang bertujuan untuk menyelaraskan prosedur pengecualian diri di seluruh operator perjudian darat dan daring. Di bawah proposal ini, ONJN akan mengelola kerangka kerja pengecualian diri terpadu yang memberlakukan verifikasi identitas wajib di tempat dan masa tunggu (cooling-off period). Proposal ini juga akan mewajibkan sanksi termasuk denda hingga 100.000 lei dan penangguhan lisensi untuk ketidakpatuhan. Peraturan ini menunggu persetujuan pemerintah dan telah diajukan ke Kementerian Keuangan. Register digital dan keterlacakan perangkat Bagian lain dari reformasi ONJN adalah peluncuran register digital publik untuk perangkat permainan fisik. Sistem cloud-native ini, diklaim sebagai yang pertama dari jenisnya di Government Private Cloud, menyediakan data rinci tentang setiap mesin permainan terdaftar, termasuk lokasi, kepemilikan, keabsahan lisensi, dan pabrikan. Untuk meningkatkan transparansi dan penegakan hukum, setiap perangkat permainan kini diharuskan menampilkan kode QR yang terhubung ke entri registrinya dan dilengkapi dengan pelacakan geolokasi wajib. ONJN mempresentasikan register dan sistem keterlacakan ini sebagai mekanisme unik di Eropa. Ini merupakan bagian dari paket yang lebih luas yang terdiri dari empat proyek TI yang bertujuan untuk mengotomatisasi pemantauan operator, proses pelaporan, dan fungsi kontrol internal. Regulator secara terbuka mengakui "kekurangan serius" awal dalam pengawasan yang efektif, yang diidentifikasi dalam laporan sebelumnya oleh Mahkamah Akun Rumania (2023–24). Hal ini terutama disebabkan oleh kurangnya infrastruktur digital dan ketidakmampuan untuk mengakses data server operator. Kegiatan pengawasan dan sanksi Selama periode pelaporan, ONJN melakukan sekitar 11.000 kegiatan pengawasan, mengeluarkan denda sekitar 10 juta lei, menonaktifkan atau menyita 260 perangkat permainan, dan mengajukan 70 pengaduan pidana. Rincian penegakan hukum berdasarkan sektor mengungkapkan: Operator darat: ~7.000 kegiatan pengawasan, denda sekitar 8,1 juta lei ($1,8 juta). Operator jarak jauh (daring): ~3.500 kegiatan pengawasan, denda sekitar 1,2 juta lei ($276.000). Entitas terkait lainnya: ~500 kegiatan pengawasan, denda sekitar 800.000 lei ($184.000). Presiden ONJN, Vlad-Cristian Soare, mengatakan tentang reformasi tersebut: "Tahun ini telah menunjukkan bahwa perubahan itu mungkin. Perubahan tidak datang dengan mudah dan tidak dilakukan tanpa perlawanan. Ada hambatan, oposisi, dan upaya untuk memperlambat proyek-proyek penting, baik dari dalam maupun luar." Dia menambahkan, "Arah telah dipertahankan, proyek-proyek telah berlanjut, dan penyelidikan serta inisiatif yang dimulai harus ditindaklanjuti." Rumania baru-baru ini ditetapkan sebagai bagian dari Balkan Gaming Federation, sebuah kolektif baru yang berfokus pada Balkan Barat. Federasi ini didirikan untuk mengoordinasikan kebijakan, kepatuhan, dan kegiatan komersial di seluruh wilayah tanpa menggantikan badan nasional yang ada.

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG) Signed An Exclusive Commercialization and Supply Agreement for Marketed Originator Intravenous Iron Products Monofer(R) and Cosmofer(R)

April 27, 2026
SHENZHEN, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that, the Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an exclusive commercialization and supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pharmacosmos A/S for Iron Isomaltoside Injection (“Monofer®”) and Iron Dextran Injection (“Cosmofer®”) recently. In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained an exclusive right to commercialize the products in the People’s Republic of China (for the purpose of this Agreement, excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan region). Pharmacosmos A/S will continue to manufacture and supply the products. The cooperation term shall be fifteen years from the effective date stipulated in the Agreement, which may be extended upon mutual agreement between the parties prior to expiry.The two intravenous iron therapies under this cooperation are both originator products that have been approved for marketing in China and included in the China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). Among them, Monofer® is an exclusive drug and the first third-generation intravenous iron therapy approved for marketing in China. It features an innovative and more stable matrix-like nanostructure and provides a superior safety profile[1]. Its single-dose full iron replenishment significantly reduces the number of infusions, enables faster improvement in hemoglobin levels and enhances clinical convenience. Another product, Cosmofer®, is currently the only intravenous iron therapy included in Category A of the NRDL and also the only one included in the National Essential Medicines List (NEML). With many years of accumulated clinical use, its efficacy and safety have been supported by accumulated clinical experience and published data.The above two products will form a comprehensive intravenous iron product portfolio covering all channels and treatment scenarios, which can support meeting the clinical needs of different levels of healthcare institutions and different types of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) patients, providing more diversified, safe and effective treatment options for patients. Patients with iron deficiency (ID) and IDA are widely distributed across multiple clinical departments, including gastroenterology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedics, which are all key specialty areas of the Group. The addition of the two products will generate efficient synergies with the Group’s existing marketed products in expert resources and academic promotion network, further strengthening the Group’s overall competitiveness in the field of anemia treatment, and is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s performance.More information about Monofer®Monofer® was approved on 30 January 2021 for the treatment of iron deficiency in patients where oral iron preparations are ineffective, cannot be used, or where there is a clinical need for rapid iron supplementation. In 2023, Monofer® was included in the NRDL as a Category B reimbursable drug. Monofer® consists of nanoparticles with a stable, matrix-like structure composed of interchanging layers of iron atoms and short, linear isomaltose carbohydrates. This structure enables controlled iron release with low levels of labile iron, contributing to a favourable safety profile, including a low risk of hypersensitivity reactions and hypophosphatemia. Monofer® can be administered as a high-dose infusion of 1,000 mg or more in a single visit, whereas older therapies such as iron sucrose typically require repeated administrations of 100 to 200 mg. This enables full iron repletion in one treatment, reducing the need for multiple infusions, lowering the burden on patients and healthcare systems, and increasing infusion capacity. At the same time, the low risk of hypophosphatemia helps avoid complications such as fractures and supports recovery from fatigue, a key symptom of iron deficiency anaemia.More information about Cosmofer®Cosmofer® is a second-generation low-molecular-weight iron dextran injection. It was approved for marketing in Mainland China in 2003 and is indicated for patients with iron deficiency who cannot take oral iron preparations (such as those who are intolerant to oral iron or have unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes). Cosmofer® also allows single-dose high-dose iron repletion. With many years of accumulated clinical use, its efficacy and safety have been supported by accumulated clinical experience and published data. Its dual status as a Category A NRDL-listed product and NEML supports its core role in iron supplementation in primary healthcare settings.About Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency AnemiaID and IDA are global health issues that commonly affect children, premenopausal women (particularly pregnant women) and the elderly. These conditions may impair the function of multiple organ systems, leading to a series of health problems such as growth retardation, behavioral disorders, cognitive impairment, reduced physical capacity, and peri-natal and peri-operative complications. They also significantly affect the prognosis of chronic diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases, chronic kidney disease, heart failure and tumors[2]. More than 1 billion people live with iron deficiency anaemia[3], making it one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease[4]. Data from the Fourth National Nutrition Survey in China indicate that the prevalence of IDA among Chinese residents is 20.1%[5]. However, both patients and healthcare professionals have insufficient awareness of the disease. Less than 20% of patients with mild anemia receive diagnosis and treatment, while only about 50% of patients with severe anemia receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment[2]. This indicates significant underdiagnosis and undertreatment of ID/IDA. Iron supplementation is the standard treatment for ID/IDA and includes oral iron therapy and intravenous iron therapy. Intravenous iron therapy is an important option for patients who cannot tolerate oral iron, have inadequate response to oral therapy, require rapid iron repletion, or prefer full iron supplementation within one to two administrations[1,2,6]. However, due to insufficient awareness of IDA, patient adherence issues, hospitalization constraints, infusion convenience, and safety concerns regarding intravenous iron therapies, the clinical use of intravenous iron in China remains relatively conservative. A Chinese real-world study shows that the average total dose of iron sucrose used in IDA patients was approximately 511 mg, which was significantly lower than the target dose of 1,000 mg[2]. There is therefore a significant clinical need for intravenous iron therapies that offer high safety, strong demonstrated efficacy and single-dose full iron repletion. Monofer® and Cosmofer® together establish a comprehensive intravenous iron product portfolio covering multiple treatment scenarios, providing tiered treatment options for patients with iron deficiency anemia.About Pharmacosmos A/SPharmacosmos A/S is a global leader in carbohydrate chemistry and innovative treatments for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia. Leveraging its deep expertise in carbohydrate chemistry and cell cycle biology, the company is committed to developing innovative therapies to address unmet patient needs, with a particular focus on iron metabolism and hematology-related diseases. Pharmacosmos A/S was founded in 1965 and is headquartered in Denmark, and employs more than 700 specialists from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Nordic countries, Germany, the United States, Canada and China. With excellent product quality and strong clinical value, its core iron therapy products have been approved and widely used in multiple countries and regions worldwide, establishing strong technological capabilities and a solid market reputation.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

Fiona Hickey, Games Inc: Mengajukan pertanyaan bodoh bisa menjadi kunci kesuksesan iGame

Fiona Hickey, Games Inc: Mengajukan pertanyaan bodoh bisa menjadi kunci kesuksesan

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Ketika saya mengumumkan keputusan saya untuk meninggalkan peran yang bagus di Betting Jobs pada tahun 2019 untuk bergabung dengan Push Gaming, saya disambut dengan tatapan bingung. Bagi kebanyakan orang, keputusan itu tidak masuk akal. Mengapa saya meninggalkan pekerjaan yang nyaman yang membayar sangat baik untuk menjelajahi area industri yang sama sekali baru di mana saya tidak memiliki pengalaman? Saya memahami industri game dari perspektif rekrutmen. Saya telah meraih banyak kesuksesan, membangun karier yang solid, dan menjalin jaringan kontak yang kuat. Namun, sisi pemasok? Itu adalah wilayah yang sama sekali baru. Saya juga melepaskan posisi saya sebagai direktur dan menerima pemotongan gaji yang cukup besar dalam prosesnya. Namun, bagi saya, ini hanyalah contoh lain dari sesuatu yang selalu saya lakukan: percaya pada diri sendiri. Saya tidak pernah menjadi orang yang menghindar dari tantangan baru dan saya sepenuhnya percaya, mungkin naif di mata sebagian orang, bahwa saya akan berhasil. Jalan menuju puncak Seperti kebanyakan profesional iGaming, saya memasuki industri ini secara tak terduga. Sejujurnya, sangat sedikit dari kita yang tumbuh dengan bermimpi bekerja dengan game slot online dan platform taruhan olahraga. Saya meninggalkan Irlandia pada tahun 2010 setelah bekerja untuk perusahaan rekrutmen bernama Manpower dan bergabung dengan Betting Jobs, salah satu dari dua agen rekrutmen iGaming niche teratas. Saya menghabiskan sembilan tahun yang sangat sukses di sana, menaiki tangga karier dan naik ke kepemimpinan senior. Saya beruntung bisa bekerja bersama beberapa CEO dan pakar industri yang luar biasa di awal karier saya, banyak di antaranya membantu membentuk diri saya hari ini. Saya membangun reputasi yang kuat, mendapatkan gaji yang baik, dan mengelola akun-akun besar. Semua orang yang saya kenal, baik secara profesional maupun pribadi, terkejut bahwa saya akan meninggalkan peran yang aman dan berprofil tinggi untuk memulai dari awal di sisi pemasok di Push Gaming. Saya tahu sisi rekrutmen bisnis luar dalam, tetapi sisi pemasok adalah urusan yang berbeda. Saya sangat naif tentang apa yang akan melibatkan pekerjaan itu. Saya pikir itu hanya menyetujui komersial, menyelesaikan kesepakatan, dan pergi. Saya tidak tahu apa itu integrasi dan saya tidak tahu bahwa saya harus berjuang keras untuk penempatan dengan setiap rilis dan bahwa akan ada begitu banyak tekanan. Namun, jika saya tahu sesuatu, itu adalah bahwa saya akan mencari tahu. Seperti yang telah saya lakukan, berkali-kali sepanjang karier saya, saya percaya pada diri sendiri untuk berhasil. Saya bersemangat untuk belajar, dan jika ada yang saya pelajari, itu adalah bahwa keinginan untuk belajar adalah setengah dari perjuangan. Bertanya pertanyaan bodoh Salah satu pelajaran utama yang diajarkan oleh perubahan ini kepada saya adalah bahwa saat Anda melepaskan kebutuhan untuk mengesankan semua orang, saat itulah Anda benar-benar mulai belajar. Ego Anda bisa menjadi penghalang besar untuk sukses, dan saya telah melihat orang gagal bukan karena mereka tidak berbakat, tetapi karena mereka terlalu bangga untuk mengakui bahwa mereka tidak tahu sesuatu. Sepanjang waktu saya di Push Gaming, saya menyaksikan perusahaan mengalami pertumbuhan yang signifikan. Kami beralih dari sekitar 45 anggota staf dengan platform internal baru dan tanpa integrasi yang ada menjadi sekitar 300 dengan 80 integrasi langsung. Kami mengamankan ratusan kemitraan di pasar yang teregulasi dan akhirnya melihat perusahaan diakuisisi. Mencapai ini sangat berbeda, tetapi saya akan mengaitkan aspek-aspeknya dengan kemampuan yang sedikit orang ingin bicarakan: tidak takut untuk mengajukan pertanyaan bodoh. Ini adalah keterampilan yang saya anjurkan semua orang untuk kembangkan: mengajukan pertanyaan tanpa ego. Baik Anda baru di industri ini atau seorang veteran berpengalaman, bertanya dan belajar sangat penting untuk kemajuan. Ketika saya bergabung dengan Games Inc sebagai MD/CEO tahun lalu, CTO sering menjelaskan sesuatu yang teknis kepada saya dan saya harus menghentikan mereka dan bertanya persis apa yang mereka maksud. Industri yang mendukung Menurut pengalaman saya, orang-orang yang layak untuk diajari tidak akan pernah menghakimi Anda karena tidak mengetahui sesuatu, tetapi mereka akan menghakimi Anda karena membuat kesalahan yang dapat dicegah karena Anda terlalu bangga untuk meminta dukungan. Pelajaran penting lainnya yang telah saya pelajari selama bertahun-tahun di berbagai tingkatan dalam industri ini adalah bahwa anggapan bahwa semua orang di tingkat senior sangat kompetitif adalah omong kosong. Ya, industri ini kompetitif, tetapi juga kolaboratif, dan mereka yang berada di puncak selalu mencari wawasan lebih lanjut. Saya telah menerima dukungan dan bimbingan dari banyak rekan saya, tetapi dukungan itu hanya datang karena saya cukup berani untuk memintanya. Saya juga berbicara dengan banyak pesaing saya secara teratur dan kami berbagi dukungan dan saling membantu. Industri ini penuh dengan orang-orang yang sangat berbakat dan satu-satunya hambatan bagi mereka, dalam banyak kasus, adalah diri Anda sendiri. Pelajaran penting Jika Anda baru di industri ini atau seseorang di tengah karier yang mencari sedikit nasihat, maka inilah yang dapat saya tawarkan: jangan pernah menjadi orang terpintar di ruangan itu dan, jika Anda demikian, segera tinggalkan ruangan itu. Demikian pula, jangan pernah takut untuk membuat diri Anda usang. Menahan keterampilan atau pengetahuan Anda tidak akan menguntungkan Anda sama sekali – bagikan pengalaman Anda dan manfaatkan tim Anda. Jika Anda tidak lagi dibutuhkan di sebuah perusahaan, Anda hampir pasti akan dibutuhkan di perusahaan lain. Terakhir, jadilah ingin tahu dan bersenang-senanglah. Industri iGaming penuh dengan orang-orang brilian dan ini adalah industri yang mendorong rasa ingin tahu dan pengambilan risiko. Jangan pernah takut untuk bertanya kepada seseorang apa arti sesuatu dan tunjukkan minat yang tulus pada industri ini. Saya akan selalu ingin bekerja dengan orang-orang yang memiliki minat dan semangat yang tulus – Anda tidak bisa memalsukannya. Dan jangan lupa untuk menikmatinya. Industri ini telah memberi saya peluang luar biasa. Saya bisa bepergian ke acara-acara luar biasa, mengobrol dengan orang-orang brilian, dan tertawa. Tidak banyak industri yang menawarkan itu kepada Anda, jadi rangkul saja. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

New Zealand Menyetujui Rancangan Undang-Undang Kasino Online, Membuka Jalan bagi Pasar yang Diatur iGame

New Zealand Menyetujui Rancangan Undang-Undang Kasino Online, Membuka Jalan bagi Pasar yang Diatur

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Selandia Baru telah mengesahkan Rancangan Undang-Undang Perjudian Kasino Online-nya pada pembacaan ketiga dan terakhir di Parlemen, semakin dekat untuk meluncurkan pasar kasino online yang diatur dengan hingga 15 lisensi operator. Undang-undang ini, yang dipimpin oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri Brooke van Velden, kini akan dilanjutkan ke Persetujuan Kerajaan, yang diharapkan pada 1 Mei. Ini bertujuan untuk menutup celah yang sudah lama ada dalam Undang-Undang Perjudian 2003, yang sebelumnya memungkinkan operator lepas pantai melayani pemain lokal tanpa kewajiban lisensi atau pajak. Van Velden mengatakan: RUU ini…mendukung perjanjian koalisi dengan menutup celah pajak perjudian dan mewajibkan operator kasino online berlisensi untuk membayar pajak, sama seperti bisnis lain yang beroperasi di Selandia Baru. Di bawah kerangka kerja baru ini, Departemen Dalam Negeri akan mengawasi proses kompetitif untuk memberikan hingga 15 lisensi. Ini akan mencakup pernyataan minat, tahap seleksi seperti lelang atau tender, dan aplikasi akhir. Operator harus memenuhi persyaratan ketat mengenai transparansi kepemilikan, kepatuhan, dan perlindungan pemain. Lisensi awalnya akan berlaku selama tiga tahun. Van Velden menambahkan: “Di bawah kerangka kerja baru, hingga 15 lisensi akan tersedia melalui proses kompetitif. Operator berlisensi akan diwajibkan untuk mengecualikan penjudi bermasalah dan memenuhi persyaratan pencegahan bahaya serta perlindungan konsumen yang ketat.” Proses perizinan diharapkan dimulai pada Juli 2026, dengan batas waktu pengajuan aplikasi pada 1 Desember dan operator yang berhasil diproyeksikan akan mulai beroperasi pada 1 Juli 2027. Operator yang gagal mengajukan permohonan sesuai batas waktu harus keluar dari pasar. Fitur utama dari undang-undang ini adalah cakupan ekstrateritorialnya, yang berarti akan berlaku untuk semua layanan kasino online yang ditawarkan kepada pengguna Selandia Baru, terlepas dari lokasi operator. Van Velden mengatakan: Alat-alat ini akan memastikan bahwa hukum Selandia Baru berlaku untuk semua perjudian kasino online yang tersedia di Selandia Baru, terlepas dari lokasi operator, menutup celah untuk penghindaran dan memperkuat kemampuan regulator untuk memantau dan menegakkan kepatuhan oleh operator internasional. RUU ini juga memperkenalkan kekuatan penegakan hukum yang lebih kuat, termasuk pemberitahuan penghapusan (take-down notices), denda hingga NZ$5 juta untuk pelanggaran serius, dan larangan perjudian berbasis kredit. Operator harus memverifikasi bahwa pengguna berusia minimal 18 tahun, menerapkan langkah-langkah perlindungan pemain, dan memelihara sistem pengaduan formal. Selain itu, undang-undang ini mencakup ketentuan untuk mengalokasikan sebagian pendapatan perjudian untuk inisiatif komunitas seperti klub olahraga dan organisasi akar rumput. Operator besar sudah bersiap untuk persaingan lisensi yang akan datang, termasuk Entain dan SkyCity Entertainment Group, saat negara ini bergerak menuju pembentukan pasar kasino online pertama yang sepenuhnya diatur.

Panel Dukung Kerangka Kerja untuk Memblokir Situs iGaming Ilegal di Jepang iGame

Panel Dukung Kerangka Kerja untuk Memblokir Situs iGaming Ilegal di Jepang

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Di Jepang, sebuah komite ahli telah mengusulkan kerangka kerja draf yang akan memungkinkan otoritas memblokir situs kasino online ilegal sebagai bagian dari apa yang bisa jadi awal dari serangkaian peraturan yang lebih ketat terhadap kegiatan perjudian ilegal. Kementerian Dalam Negeri dan Komunikasi memulai kerangka kerja ini dan percaya bahwa pemblokiran akses ke situs perjudian luar negeri bisa membantu membatasi jumlah orang muda yang dirugikan akibat perjudian. Ada juga beberapa pertanyaan hukum dan konstitusional yang harus diselesaikan sebelum melanjutkan langkah lebih lanjut dengan setiap peraturan yang berkaitan dengan pemblokiran perjudian online ilegal atau kegiatan perjudian ilegal lainnya. Anggota panel ahli telah menyatakan dukungan untuk tindakan yang lebih keras yang dirancang untuk menangani operator ilegal karena mereka sangat eksploitatif dan tidak dapat dikendalikan dengan peraturan yang ada. Noriko Tanaka, anggota panel dan ketua Masyarakat Peduli Kecanduan Perjudian, berkata: Organisasi-organisasi ini benar-benar jahat. Orang muda dengan mudah bisa menjadi korban mereka, jadi saya sangat berharap mereka akan diblokir. Kerangka kerja ini menyimpulkan bahwa mungkin sudah ada kondisi yang dibuat untuk memperkenalkan langkah pemblokiran karena akses yang luas ke situs perjudian online dan terus bertambahnya situs perjudian online tanpa izin. Di bawah kerangka kerja yang diusulkan, penyedia telekomunikasi akan diminta untuk memblokir akses ke situs ilegal yang telah diidentifikasi. Selain pemblokiran akses yang berpotensi terjadi, kerangka kerja ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran seputar masalah privasi karena penyedia telekomunikasi akan diminta untuk memantau lalu lintas internet pengguna individu untuk menentukan apakah pengguna mencoba mengakses situs internet yang diblokir, sehingga menimbulkan kekhawatiran tentang pengawasan dan berpotensi melanggar privasi komunikasi menurut hukum Jepang. Para ahli telah menekankan bahwa risiko ini harus dievaluasi dengan sangat teliti dan laporan ini menganggap penggunaan pemblokiran internet sebagai upaya terakhir. Joji Shishido, berkata: Memblokir situs web adalah tombol terakhir yang akan ditekan dalam upaya keseluruhan untuk menghilangkan kerugian yang disebabkan oleh kasino online. Jika langkah ini akan diterapkan, pemerintah perlu mengambil pendekatan yang jauh lebih serius dalam membangun sistem yang diperlukan. Jepang telah memperkenalkan langkah alternatif, termasuk melarang promosi kasino ilegal di media sosial dan bekerja sama dengan yurisdiksi luar negeri untuk membatasi akses. Langkah-langkah ini telah menunjukkan “tingkat efektivitas tertentu,” menurut laporan, meskipun akses ke situs luar negeri masih luas. Data dari Blask menunjukkan bahwa minat terhadap perjudian online mungkin sudah menurun. Aktivitas pengguna menurun secara signifikan sepanjang tahun 2025 hingga awal 2026, bersama dengan penurunan pendapatan pasar yang diperkirakan, menunjukkan bahwa permintaan bisa mendingin bahkan sebelum kontrol yang lebih ketat diterapkan.

India Perkenalkan Aturan dan Regulator Baru untuk Game Online Menjelang Penerapan di Bulan Mei iGame

India Perkenalkan Aturan dan Regulator Baru untuk Game Online Menjelang Penerapan di Bulan Mei

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - India akan menerapkan kerangka kerja regulasi baru untuk permainan daring mulai 1 Mei, mengikuti notifikasi Kementerian Elektronika & IT. Aturan ini bertujuan mengurangi risiko perjudian berbasis uang asli sambil membawa struktur dan pengawasan yang lebih besar ke sektor ini. Kerangka kerja ini berasal dari Undang-Undang Promosi dan Regulasi Permainan Daring 2025, yang disahkan oleh Parlemen pada Agustus tahun lalu. Aturan ini mencakup permainan uang asli dan permainan non-moneter, dengan tujuan meningkatkan regulasi sambil mendukung pertumbuhan esports dan permainan sosial. Fitur utamanya adalah pembentukan Otoritas Permainan Daring India, yang akan berfungsi sebagai badan regulasi pusat. Otoritas ini akan mempertahankan registri permainan uang daring, menangani keluhan dan banding, menerbitkan pedoman, dan berkoordinasi dengan bank dan lembaga penegak hukum. Otoritas ini juga akan mengawasi kepatuhan di seluruh sektor. Sistem baru ini memperkenalkan kriteria jelas untuk mengklasifikasikan permainan uang daring, berdasarkan faktor seperti taruhan, hadiah potensial, dan model pendapatan. Sistem ini juga menetapkan kerangka pendaftaran untuk esports dan kategori permainan sosial tertentu, sementara banyak permainan non-uang asli akan tetap berada di luar pendaftaran wajib kecuali secara spesifik diminta. Langkah-langkah perlindungan pengguna adalah bagian inti dari aturan, termasuk verifikasi usia, kontrol orang tua, mekanisme keluhan, dan sistem penyelesaian sengketa dua tingkat yang dirancang untuk memperkuat akuntabilitas. Dengan peluncuran yang mendekat, India bergerak menuju lingkungan regulasi yang lebih terstruktur untuk permainan daring. Pemerintah menyatakan bahwa kerangka kerja ini dirancang untuk menyeimbangkan pertumbuhan industri dengan perlindungan konsumen, terutama dengan mengurangi risiko finansial dan sosial yang terkait dengan platform permainan berbasis uang.

Kampuchea menutup 91 kasino dalam penangkatan penembakan yang diperluas pada penipuan siber

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Kamboja telah mengintensifkan perlawanannya terhadap kejahatan siber, menutup 91 kasino yang terkait dengan penipuan online sebagai bagian dari dorongan penegakan hukum yang lebih luas yang menargetkan perjudian ilegal dan jaringan penipuan. Menurut pihak berwenang, lebih dari 250 fasilitas yang terkait dengan penipuan telah ditutup dalam sembilan bulan yang berakhir Desember, dengan berbagai penggerebekan dilakukan di fasilitas yang dicurigai melakukan penipuan online dan beroperasi secara ilegal. Lebih dari 13.000 warga negara asing lainnya dideportasi, dengan lebih dari 240.000 lainnya dilaporkan meninggalkan negara itu secara sukarela antara pertengahan Januari dan pertengahan April sebagai bagian dari penumpasan ini. Tindakan ini merupakan hasil dari meningkatnya tekanan dari Tiongkok, yang Menteri Luar Negerinya, Wang Yi, mengunjungi Phnom Penh pada 22 April dan mendesak pemerintah untuk mengambil tindakan yang lebih kuat untuk menghentikan perjudian lintas batas dan penipuan siber. Menurut laporan media pemerintah, 91 kasino yang terlibat dalam penutupan tersebut baik secara langsung terlibat dalam aktivitas penipuan atau memfasilitasi jaringan penipuan online, dan menimbulkan kecurigaan bahwa mereka mungkin digunakan sebagai kedok untuk kejahatan siber. Seiring dengan peningkatan penegakan hukum yang ada mengenai perjudian, undang-undang baru telah disahkan yang menciptakan undang-undang anti-penipuan baru yang mulai berlaku pada 6 April. Undang-undang ini memberlakukan hukuman berat termasuk hukuman penjara seumur hidup untuk pelanggaran serius semacam ini. Sebagai bagian dari arahan dari Hun Sen, Kamboja telah mengambil langkah-langkah besar untuk memerangi kejahatan siber, dan menunjukkan kemampuannya untuk mengatur industri perjudianannya secara lebih lengkap, semua karena tekanan yang diberikan oleh Tiongkok, Amerika Serikat, dan banyak entitas regional lainnya.

Brasil men menindak tegas terhadap pasar prediksi, melarang 27 operator

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Brasil telah melarang 27 platform yang beroperasi di bawah model "pasar prediksi" yang disebut-sebut setelah otoritas menentukan bahwa mereka secara efektif menawarkan layanan taruhan tanpa lisensi. Setelah penyelidikan yang menemukan bahwa bisnis-bisnis ini mengiklankan layanannya sebagai investasi atau derivatif berbasis taruhan, Kementerian Keuangan membuat deklarasi bahwa organisasi-organisasi tersebut dilarang mengembangkan operasi bisnis mereka di Brasil. Setiap situs yang dilarang ini memungkinkan pelanggannya untuk bertaruh pada berbagai situasi kehidupan nyata termasuk: pemilihan umum yang akan datang; tren ekonomi; hasil acara olahraga; hasil acara televisi; dan hubungan internasional. Larangan ini bertepatan dengan resolusi Dewan Moneter Nasional yang baru disahkan pada 24 April yang membatasi perdagangan derivatif pada indikator ekonomi dan keuangan yang dipantau oleh Komisi Sekuritas dan Bursa. Pejabat juga menyatakan bahwa model bisnis dari organisasi-organisasi ini "beroperasi di pinggiran industri keuangan" dan tidak sesuai dengan standar bisnis yang diperlukan untuk memenuhi syarat sebagai operasi taruhan berlisensi atau lembaga keuangan yang diatur. Selain itu, pejabat spekulasi tentang risiko klien yang berpotensi menjadi berutang berlebihan. Larangan ini akan berlaku untuk perusahaan domestik dan internasional yang dilarang oleh pengumuman ini, termasuk Kalshi dan Polymarket. Sebagai hasil dari keputusan ini, konsumen di Brasil akan memiliki akses terbatas ke layanan yang ditawarkan oleh perusahaan-perusahaan ini. Untuk semua perusahaan ini, keputusan ini akan mengubah secara serius tren bagaimana Brasil menanggapi model-model mirip taruhan baru, karena perusahaan yang terkena batasan ini sekarang harus mematuhi peraturan lokal atau meninggalkan pasar Brasil.

Boyd Gaming Melaporkan Peningkatan Pendapatan Q1, Keuntungan Turun iGame

Boyd Gaming Melaporkan Peningkatan Pendapatan Q1, Keuntungan Turun

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Boyd Gaming melaporkan pendapatan kuartal pertama 2026 sebesar $997,4 juta, naik 0,6% dari tahun ke tahun, didukung oleh aktivitas pelanggan yang stabil dan investasi berkelanjutan di seluruh portofolionya. Pendapatan bersih tercatat sebesar $105,5 juta, turun 5,3% dari periode yang sama tahun lalu, sementara laba disesuaikan turun 10,6% menjadi $123,1 juta. Adjusted EBITDAR juga turun 6% menjadi $317,4 juta. Segmen Selatan dan Midwest memiliki laba dan pendapatan positif sebagian besar karena aktivitas yang lebih baik dari pelanggan inti dan perbandingan yang lebih mudah karena gangguan cuaca signifikan yang dialami selama tahun fiskal sebelumnya. Selain itu, investasi properti juga membantu dalam menghasilkan pendapatan dan laba pada segmen-segmen ini. Sebaliknya, segmen Las Vegas Locals menghadapi tantangan karena tingkat permintaan yang lebih rendah ditambah dengan penundaan konstruksi yang berkelanjutan pada properti Suncoast. Hasil di pusat kota Las Vegas stabil karena kehadiran pelanggan dari Hawaii yang terus kuat. Namun, lalu lintas keseluruhan ke destinasi tersebut terus mengalami penurunan. Segmen online perusahaan terus tumbuh dari operasi kasino online dan perjanjian akses terbatas pihak ketiga. Segmen Managed and Other mendapat manfaat dari peningkatan pendapatan biaya manajemen, terutama dari pengelolaan Sky River Casino di California. Selama kuartal kedua 2026, Boyd membuka Cadence Crossing Casino di Las Vegas dan melanjutkan pengembangan resor senilai $750 juta di Virginia. Perusahaan juga menerima persetujuan untuk memperluas dan meningkatkan properti Par-A-Dice di Illinois. Boyd mengembalikan sekitar $170 juta kepada pemegang saham selama kuartal kedua dalam bentuk dividen dan pembelian kembali saham, termasuk $155 juta dalam bentuk saham yang dibeli kembali dan dividen triwulanan sebesar $0,20 per saham. Selain itu, pada bulan April, dewan menyetujui peningkatan program pembelian kembali saham sebesar tambahan $500 juta. Per 31 Maret 2026, Boyd memiliki kas sebesar $372,7 juta dan total utang sebesar $2,3 miliar. Presiden dan CEO Boyd Gaming, Keith Smith mengatakan: Melihat ke depan, kami percaya bahwa neraca kami yang kuat, portofolio yang terdiversifikasi, pendekatan yang seimbang terhadap alokasi modal, dan tim manajemen yang berpengalaman semuanya memposisikan kami dengan baik untuk terus menciptakan nilai jangka panjang bagi para pemegang saham kami.

April 27, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - PG Soft, perusahaan game mobile digital kelas dunia, telah meluncurkan rilis terbarunya, Funky Fortunez. Funky Fortunez adalah slot kombinasi simbol 4×4 dengan simbol Hadiah yang dapat memberikan kemenangan hingga 500x jumlah taruhan. Dengan latar belakang yang dibanjiri neon dan energi hip-hop, game ini mengambil inspirasi dari gaya percaya diri budaya jalanan dan panasnya lantai dansa, merajut keduanya ke dalam setiap putaran. Simbol Hadiah adalah sampel yang membuat Funky Fortunez menjadi benar-benar nomor satu. Selama putaran apa pun, simbol yang menang mengaktifkan posisi simbolnya, aktivasi pertama menandai posisi, dan yang kedua mengubahnya menjadi simbol Hadiah. Ketika tidak ada lagi kombinasi kemenangan yang tersisa, setiap simbol Hadiah memberikan hadiah mulai dari 0,2x hingga 8x. Sebelum simbol Hadiah apa pun membayar, ada peluang untuk ditingkatkan menjadi simbol Hadiah Emas atau simbol Hadiah Platinum. Simbol Hadiah Emas memberikan hadiah antara 10x dan 50x, sementara simbol Hadiah Platinum dapat memberikan antara 100x dan 500x, memberikan setiap putaran potensi untuk membuka hadiah yang lebih besar. Tiga simbol Scatter pada gulungan akan memicu Fitur Putaran Gratis dengan 10 putaran gratis, dengan setiap Scatter tambahan memberikan dua putaran lagi. Setelah putaran gratis aktif, semua posisi simbol yang ditandai dan simbol Hadiah tetap terkunci pada gulungan selama fitur berlangsung, dengan Fitur Peningkatan Hadiah yang dapat terpicu pada setiap putaran gratis yang menang. Putaran gratis juga dapat dipicu ulang. Juru bicara PG Soft berkomentar: Funky Fortunez adalah sebuah perayaan genre hip-hop, yang kami perkirakan akan mendominasi tangga lagu untuk waktu yang lama. Mekanisme Simbol Hadiah adalah ketukan yang menggerakkan permainan, karena pemain mencari pengembalian besar hingga 500x per simbol, dengan kemenangan maksimum 2.000x taruhan awal.

In addition to offering market-leading wealth accumulation potential, the Plan incorporates a range of flexible and innovative legacy planning features, empowering customers to manage their wealth with confidence at every stage of life. Key features and dedicated services of the Plan include:1. Wealth Accumulation Switching Option3: While the policy is in force, customers may leverage the special-in-market² switching options with artisanal design to manage their wealth. On the 10th policy anniversary and every policy anniversary thereafter, customers can flexibly switch among the “Advance”, “Balanced”, and “Conservative” switching options. Each option is equipped with different ratio of the “Stable Asset Account”¹² value to the cash value of Reversionary Bonus¹³ (if any) and Terminal Bonus¹â'´ (if any).2. Free Policy Currency Conversion: From the 3rd policy anniversary and any policy anniversary thereafter and while the policy is in force, customers may apply to exercise the Currency Switch Optionâ'´,â'µ, changing the policy currency of the basic plan of the policy to a different currency (like US Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, British Pound Sterling or Singapore Dollar) without having to provide any evidence of insurability.3. Policy Split Option6: While the policy is in force and the Insured is still alive, after the end of the 3rd Policy Year or the end of the premium payment period (whichever is later), customers may split the original policy by allocating part of the Units of the basic plan to one or more separate policy(ies). This option also applies to the split policy(ies), enabling enhanced flexibility in asset allocation.4. Multiple innovative legacy edges: After the 6th policy monthly anniversary, customers may change the Insured for unlimited times¹â'µ. The plan specially provides the Policy Continuation Option¹â'¶, allowing designated beneficiaries to become new Policy Owners and Insureds upon the death of the original Insured. Upon exercising either of these two options, the coverage will be adjusted to the age of 128 for the new Insured, providing greater flexibility for customers' inheritance arrangements and enabling wealth to be passed on to future generations.5. Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements: In addition to setting up standing instructions for regular withdrawals17 for the Policy Owner, he/she may also arrange for payments to be directly credited to designated payee(s), such as family members, hospitals, residential care homes for the elderly or charitable institutions. The “Artisanal Default Policy Service” further complements the Plan through a range of dedicated arrangements, offering customers greater flexibility and convenience in withdrawal arrangements.6. Premium Holiday18 of up to 8 years: If the Policy Owner is unfortunately diagnosed with a specified Covered Illness, including cancer, severe heart attack or stroke, the Premium Holiday period may be extended free of charge, giving customers additional financial buffer and peace of mind.7. Flexible settlement options for Death Benefit¹â'¹ / Full Surrender²â'°: Customers can choose from a wide range of Death Benefit Settlement Options for each beneficiary, including a lump-sum payment, regular installment payment¹â'¹, or increasing installment payments¹â'¹. Customers can also choose to receive part of the benefit as a lump sum with the remaining balance paid for increasing installments or customise the payment to start at a specified year or at a specified age of the beneficiary with fixed or increasing installments, ensuring each beneficiary receives the most appropriate arrangement.8. Market-First Customised Life Event Option21: In conjunction with the applicable instalment Death Benefit Settlement Options and the “Life Event Option”, customers may choose to arrange death benefit payouts upon any of the nine preset life events of the Primary Beneficiary, such as marriage or home purchase. Through the first-in-market “Customised Life Event” Option21, customers can also freely customise lump-sum payouts at meaningful life milestones. More than one Life Event Options can be assigned for each primary beneficiary, making protection even more thoughtful and flexible.9. Flexible premium payment options: MyWealth Beyond Savings Insurance Plan offers a choice of single-premium, 5-year and 12-year premium payment periods. For the 5-year premium payment period, customers may also choose to prepay the premiums22 by lump sum payment upon application, thereby enjoying the benefit of paying up the Plan at a lower cost. Interest23 (if any) will also be earned on the prepaid premiums22.Notes:*Application submission period is from 27 April 2026 to 30 June 2026 (both dates inclusive). For details, please refer to the promotional leaflet: https://www.ctflife.com.hk/pdf/en/home/premium_offer_flyer.pdf 1An expected total internal rate of return (IRR) of 6.5% by the 20th policy year applies to single-premium USD policies that meet the minimum premium requirement, assuming no withdrawals, surrender or exercise of any policy options.

6 Ways to Avoid Hidden Fees When Spending Overseas ACN Newswire

6 Ways to Avoid Hidden Fees When Spending Overseas

April 26, 2026
SINGAPORE, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling overseas often feels exciting until unexpected charges appear on your card statement after returning home. Many travellers from Singapore rely on overseas credit cards for convenience, rewards, and security, but international transactions can sometimes include hidden costs that are easy to overlook. From currency conversion markups to foreign transaction fees, these charges can quietly increase overall travel expenses. Understanding how these charges work can help travellers manage spending better and make more informed payment choices while abroad.Below are practical ways that can help minimise hidden fees when using credit cards overseas while keeping travel spending smooth and predictable.Understand foreign transaction fees before travellingForeign transaction fees are among the commonly overlooked charges linked to overseas spending. Many cards issued in Singapore charge a fee of around 3.25% per foreign currency transaction, which may not seem significant at first glance. However, on a holiday budget of SGD 4,000, this fee alone can add SGD 130 to total expenses without obvious visibility during purchases.Reviewing the fee structure of an overseas card before travelling can help travellers estimate actual costs more accurately. Some cards offer reduced or promotional foreign transaction charges, which can help manage overall travel budgets more effectively. Knowing these details in advance may also help travellers decide when card payments make financial sense compared to alternative payment methods.Consider paying in local currency instead of SGDWhen paying overseas, merchants sometimes offer the option to charge the amount directly in Singapore dollars. This feature, known as Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), may appear convenient because it shows the final amount immediately. However, exchange rates used in DCC transactions often include markups, which can exceed standard bank conversion fees.Choosing to pay in the local currency allows the overseas card network to process the exchange instead. Card networks typically apply more competitive rates compared to merchant-set conversions. Over multiple transactions, such as dining, shopping, and transport, this can help reduce unnecessary markups.Check card currency conversion ratesExchange rates used by card issuers fluctuate daily and may differ slightly from rates seen on currency apps or news platforms. While the difference per transaction might appear minor, frequent purchases abroad can still affect total spending. For example, a 1% difference on SGD 2,500 worth of spending can translate into roughly SGD 25 in additional costs.Reviewing how an overseas card calculates exchange rates can provide better transparency. Some banks publish their rate calculation methods, allowing travellers to estimate expected charges more accurately.Avoid overseas ATM withdrawals when possibleWithdrawing cash abroad using a credit card can trigger multiple layers of fees simultaneously. These may include cash advance fees, overseas ATM operator charges, and immediate interest accrual starting from the withdrawal date. In Singapore, cash advance fees commonly range between 6% and 8% of the withdrawn amount, with minimum charges around SGD 15.Using an overseas card mainly for purchases rather than cash withdrawals can help reduce these compounded costs. Carrying a modest amount of exchanged currency from Singapore or using debit-based solutions for cash needs may help travellers avoid high-interest situations linked to credit card withdrawals overseas.Watch for hotel and car rental pre-authorisation chargesHotels and car rental companies frequently place temporary holds on credit cards as security deposits. These pre-authorisation amounts can be significant depending on location and booking type. Although not permanent charges, they temporarily reduce available credit limits and sometimes involve conversion adjustments once released.Understanding how pre-authorisation works can help travellers avoid confusion when reviewing statements. Using an overseas card with sufficient credit limits may reduce the likelihood of declined transactions during travel. Checking release timelines with merchants can also help travellers track when funds become available again after checkout.Choose a Travel Credit Card designed for overseas spendingNot all credit cards function the same way internationally. Some overseas card options available in Singapore include travel-focused features, such as lower foreign currency fees, travel rewards, or complimentary insurance coverage. These features can help offset certain costs associated with overseas spending when used strategically.Comparing card benefits based on travel frequency, spending habits, and destinations can help travellers identify options aligned with their lifestyle. A well-matched overseas card may also offer added value through rewards or travel-related privileges, making international spending more predictable overall.Final thoughtsFor Singapore travellers, using an overseas card thoughtfully, alongside awareness of currency conversion practices and transaction structures, can help make international payments more transparent. With a few informed habits, overseas spending can remain convenient while reducing the likelihood of unexpected costs appearing after the journey ends.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

Sparfuchs Corporation Meluncurkan Platform QA AI Open-Source Sparfuchs-QA di GitHub

April 26, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - LAS VEGAS, NV – 27/04/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Dalam langkah yang mencerminkan meningkatnya permintaan akan validasi perangkat lunak yang terintegrasi dan otomatis, Sparfuchs Corporation telah merilis Sparfuchs-QA, sebuah platform sumber terbuka yang dirancang untuk menyatukan dan menyederhanakan proses jaminan kualitas di seluruh lingkungan pengembangan modern. Kini tersedia secara publik di GitHub, platform ini memperkenalkan sistem terkoordinasi yang terdiri dari lebih dari 40 agen AI khusus yang bertujuan untuk mengkonsolidasikan fungsi QA penting ke dalam satu alur operasional. Sparfuchs-QA direkayasa untuk mengatasi fragmentasi dalam alur kerja QA tradisional, di mana organisasi sering mengandalkan berbagai alat yang terpisah untuk analisis kode, pemeriksaan keamanan, pengujian integrasi, dan validasi rilis. Dengan menyatukan kemampuan-kemampuan ini, platform memungkinkan tim rekayasa untuk mengadopsi pendekatan yang lebih kohesif dan efisien terhadap verifikasi perangkat lunak. Inti dari platform ini adalah metodologi lima tahap yang diorkestrasi oleh agen AI lintas platform. Tahap-tahap ini meliputi analisis kualitas dan kelengkapan kode, tinjauan keamanan dan kontrol akses, validasi integrasi dan dependensi, verifikasi antarmuka pengguna dan perilaku, serta mekanisme gerbang rilis yang dapat dikonfigurasi. Tiga tahap awal beroperasi secara paralel, mengurangi waktu pemrosesan keseluruhan dan mempercepat umpan balik dalam alur pengembangan. Sistem ini juga dirancang untuk mendeteksi masalah-masalah halus dan sering terabaikan, seperti kode placeholder yang masuk ke lingkungan produksi, perubahan yang tidak disengaja dalam struktur izin, inkonsistensi antara sistem pengujian dan sistem langsung, serta kegagalan dalam integrasi API. Selain deteksi, Sparfuchs-QA memperluas kegunaannya dengan secara otomatis menghasilkan atau memvalidasi materi pendukung, termasuk dokumentasi arsitektur, panduan administratif, dan sumber daya pelatihan pengguna akhir. Setiap analisis yang dilakukan dalam platform menghasilkan rekomendasi Go/No-Go yang jelas untuk kesiapan rilis, disertai dengan skor kepercayaan diri dan tautan langsung ke bukti pendukung. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan tim rekayasa untuk meninjau temuan secara rinci dan menggunakan penilaian yang terinformasi saat membuat keputusan penerapan. Ketersediaan dan Penawaran Komersial Versi inti Sparfuchs-QA didistribusikan di bawah lisensi sumber terbuka Apache 2.0 dan dapat diakses melalui GitHub tanpa batasan fitur atau batas penggunaan untuk penerapan yang di-host sendiri. Selain penawaran sumber terbuka, Sparfuchs menyediakan layanan hosting terkelola opsional, perjanjian dukungan tingkat perusahaan, dan keterlibatan konsultasi. Layanan ini berkisar dari penilaian alur kerja jangka pendek hingga inisiatif transformasi yang diperpanjang berdasarkan a.e.g.i.s.Forge Framework perusahaan (Aligned Execution and Governance for Intelligent Systems). Kemampuan Teknis dan Integrasi Sparfuchs-QA dirancang dengan arsitektur agnostik cloud, memungkinkan kompatibilitas di seluruh penyedia cloud utama dan sistem integrasi berkelanjutan, termasuk GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, dan Microsoft Azure. Platform ini juga terintegrasi dengan alat pengembangan berbantuan AI yang banyak digunakan seperti Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Cursor, Amazon Q, dan Codex. Untuk organisasi yang memprioritaskan keamanan data, platform ini mendukung penerapan yang sepenuhnya terlokalisasi dalam virtual private cloud (VPC) pelanggan, memastikan bahwa kode sumber tetap berada dalam lingkungan organisasi. Materi pendukung, termasuk dokumentasi keamanan, model ancaman, dan daftar bahan perangkat lunak (SBOM), disediakan untuk meningkatkan transparansi. Wawasan Kinerja dan Adopsi Awal Berdasarkan pengujian internal di berbagai lingkungan produksi, Sparfuchs melaporkan bahwa aplikasi berukuran menengah dapat menyelesaikan seluruh alur QA dalam waktu sekitar 10 hingga 40 menit, memberikan hasil yang dapat ditindaklanjuti dengan bukti yang dapat dilacak.

SpaceX, Anduril termasuk perusahaan yang menangkan kontrak Golden Dome News

SpaceX, Anduril termasuk perusahaan yang menangkan kontrak Golden Dome

April 25, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Angkatan Luar Angkasa AS (US Space Force) memberikan kontrak senilai hingga $3,2 miliar kepada 12 perusahaan, termasuk Lockheed Martin Corp. dan SpaceX, untuk mengembangkan prototipe interseptor berbasis ruang angkasa di bawah rencana Golden Dome Presiden Donald Trump. Perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut akan ditugaskan untuk menunjukkan kemampuan interseptor berbasis ruang angkasa pada tahun 2028, kata Space Force dalam siaran pers. Interseptor ini, yang dirancang untuk menghancurkan rudal musuh di luar atmosfer Bumi, adalah komponen kunci namun belum teruji dari Golden Dome. Perusahaan lain yang mendapatkan penghargaan di bawah program ini adalah Anduril Industries Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. dan General Dynamics Corp., GITAI USA Inc., Northrop Grumman Corp., Quindar Inc., Raytheon milik RTX Corp., Sci-Tec Inc., True Anomaly Inc. dan Turion Space Corp. Kontrak-kontrak ini diberikan di bawah prosedur cepat yang dikenal sebagai Other Transactional Authority, yang dirancang untuk memotong rantai birokrasi pengadaan normal dan meningkatkan kompetisi. “Kemampuan musuh berkembang dengan cepat, dan strategi akuisisi kita harus bergerak lebih cepat untuk melawan kecepatan dan kemampuan manuver ancaman rudal modern yang semakin meningkat,” kata Kolonel Space Force Bryon McClain dalam sebuah pernyataan. Kantor Anggaran Kongres (Congressional Budget Office) telah memperkirakan biaya untuk jaringan interseptor berbasis ruang angkasa bisa mencapai $542 miliar selama 20 tahun. Baca Lebih Lanjut: SpaceX Dipilih untuk Grup Industri yang Mengembangkan Perangkat Lunak Golden Dome Pejabat utama Golden Dome di Pentagon bulan ini menandakan bahwa dia seorang realis tentang potensi biaya interseptor berbasis ruang angkasa. “Kami sangat fokus pada keterjangkauan biaya. Jika kami tidak bisa melakukannya dengan harga terjangkau, kami tidak akan memasuki tahap produksi,” kata Jenderal Space Force Michael Guetlein kepada subkomite Angkatan Strategis Layanan Bersenjata Dewan Perwakilan pada 15 April. Orang-orang yang mengetahui hal ini sebelumnya mengatakan bahwa SpaceX akan menjadi bagian dari sekelompok perusahaan yang mengembangkan sistem operasi yang mendukung Golden Dome. Keterlibatan perusahaan ini menekankan hubungan erat antara pembuat roket dan satelit milik Elon Musk dengan pemerintah AS.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Tanaman gandum AS layu, kawanan ternak menyusut seiring kian parahnya kekeringan musim semi News

Tanaman gandum AS layu, kawanan ternak menyusut seiring kian parahnya kekeringan musim semi

April 25, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Petani di seluruh Great Plains menghadapi kekeringan hebat yang mengancam panen gandum musim dingin dan mendorong produsen sapi potong untuk membeli pakan yang mahal, bahkan membuat beberapa orang mengurungkan niat untuk memperluas kawanan ternak mereka.Kekeringan diperkirakan akan berlanjut hingga musim semi setelah berminggu-minggu curah hujan minim dan gelombang panas akhir musim dingin yang memicu kebakaran padang rumput besar-besaran di lumbung pangan negara itu. Kekeringan kini mencakup hampir 90% Nebraska dan Oklahoma, dengan lebih dari separuh Nebraska mengalami kekeringan "ekstrem". Kondisi seperti ini secara historis telah mendorong produsen sapi potong untuk menjual hewan ternak mereka dan memaksa petani untuk mengebor sumur irigasi baru saat sungai mengering. Beberapa minggu ke depan sangat penting bagi petani di Plains, karena gandum musim dingin mulai matang menjelang panen musim panas dan sebelum tanaman lain ditanam. Tanpa kelembaban yang cukup dari curah hujan atau irigasi, tunas gandum akan kesulitan untuk terisi dan menghasilkan biji-bijian. Beberapa petani akan membiarkan sapi memakan ladang daripada mencoba memanen biji-bijian.“Kami memiliki banyak preseden modern untuk kondisi yang sangat sulit ini menjelang musim tanam musim semi, tetapi ini jelas termasuk yang terburuk yang pernah kami lihat,” kata Brad Rippey, seorang ahli meteorologi untuk US Department of Agriculture.Meskipun hujan berkala telah turun di beberapa bagian Plains musim semi ini, wilayah tersebut secara keseluruhan tetap sangat kering setelah musim dingin La Niña, yang ditandai dengan salju rendah dan suhu hangat yang memecahkan rekor, mengikis kelembaban dari tanah. Dampaknya sudah terlihat. Hanya 30% dari tanaman gandum musim dingin AS dinilai baik hingga sangat baik pada hari Minggu dalam data USDA, peringkat terendah sejak 2023. Sekitar setengah dari tanaman di Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, dan Texas — produsen terbesar di wilayah tersebut — dikategorikan buruk hingga sangat buruk, kata Rippey, menunjukkan risiko kerugian hasil panen yang tinggi. Kekeringan juga berbenturan dengan biaya input yang lebih tinggi. Harga pupuk telah melonjak menyusul serangan terhadap Iran oleh AS dan Israel, mendorong beberapa petani untuk mengurangi aplikasi. Anggota Kongres AS Frank Lucas, seorang Republik dari Oklahoma, mengatakan dia memilih untuk tidak membeli pupuk nitrogen untuk ladang gandumnya di bagian barat negara bagian itu. “Saya tidak punya cukup kelembaban — itu tidak akan ada gunanya,” kata Lucas. “Kedua, saya bahkan tidak yakin berapa biayanya.” Petani berada di bawah tekanan ekonomi bahkan sebelum kekeringan mengancam hasil panen. Namun, pasokan biji-bijian yang melimpah di tempat lain di dunia dapat membatasi kenaikan harga. Di Plains, “kelembaban sangat dibutuhkan,” kata Rippey, menambahkan bahwa curah hujan dalam beberapa minggu mendatang kemungkinan akan menentukan apakah tanaman gandum musim dingin akan “tercipta atau hancur untuk tahun 2026.” Kekeringan, meskipun tidak mungkin memengaruhi harga daging, juga tidak akan memberikan keringanan bagi biaya daging sapi yang memecahkan rekor jika menghambat pembangunan kembali kawanan sapi AS. Bantuan mungkin tidak datang cukup cepat. Meskipun pola La Niña yang mengering telah berakhir, hujan lebat mungkin tidak kembali ke AS bagian tengah sampai pasangannya yang menghangat, El Niño, berkembang akhir musim panas ini. Pada saat itu, jendela panen gandum musim dingin dan penanaman bisa saja tertutup. Antara sekarang dan akhir Juli, perkiraan dari US Climate Prediction Center menyerukan perluasan kekeringan di Colorado timur dan Kansas barat, dengan curah hujan di bawah rata-rata di beberapa daerah dan suhu yang tidak biasa hangat. Kehangatan itu dapat “meningkatkan permintaan atmosfer” untuk kelembaban, kata Eric Hunt, seorang ahli meteorologi pertanian di University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “Evapotranspirasi lebih tinggi, yang berarti Anda bisa kehilangan lebih banyak air dari tanah.”Tanah kering telah berkontribusi pada serangkaian kebakaran hutan yang merusak di Plains selatan, membakar sekitar 1 juta hektar ladang jerami dan padang rumput pada akhir Maret. Kerugian tersebut semakin meredupkan prospek pembangunan kembali kawanan sapi AS, yang telah menyusut ke titik terendah dalam 75 tahun karena petani memilih untuk menjual hewan untuk disembelih daripada menyimpannya untuk berkembang biak. Awal tahun ini, jumlah sapi dara — sapi betina muda yang belum melahirkan — yang dilelang ke rantai pasokan daging mulai menurun, kata Altin Kalo, kepala ekonom di Steiner Consulting. Titik data itu dapat menandakan rencana pembiakan di masa depan, tambah Kalo, tetapi karena kondisi kekeringan semakin parah dalam beberapa minggu terakhir, volume lelang kembali naik mendekati tingkat yang terlihat selama dua tahun terakhir. “Kekeringan hanya membuat segalanya mundur,” kata Ben Smith, manajer operasi lapangan di nirlaba Farm Rescue. “Saat itulah orang harus membuat keputusan sulit untuk melikuidasi sebagian kawanan mereka jika mereka tidak mampu membeli pakan atau tidak dapat menemukan pakan alternatif.” Farm Rescue telah mengirimkan jerami sumbangan untuk menggantikan persediaan yang hilang akibat kebakaran di Oklahoma, Kansas, dan Nebraska, kata Smith. Dua asosiasi perdagangan utama, Nebraska Cattlemen dan Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, juga telah membuka dana bantuan bersama untuk mendukung peternak yang terkena dampak. “Membangun kembali, baik itu kandang atau pagar, membutuhkan waktu dan uang,” kata Presiden Nebraska Cattlemen Craig Uden, mencatat bahwa ribuan mil pagar padang rumput hancur dalam kobaran api. Biaya penggantian biasanya melebihi $10.000 per mil, mengurangi pendapatan peternak bahkan jika itu tidak muncul dalam harga konsumen. “Yang benar-benar dibutuhkan orang adalah benih, jerami, alat penanam, dan peralatan untuk membantu memindahkan sapi, karena banyak dari mereka harus mencari rumah baru untuk musim panas.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.
