SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 February 2025 - The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou, China, to establish pathways for students in China to pursue the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ). The newly-formed partnership marks the first collaboration with a university in China for ISCA, since the launch of its first ever Representative Office in Nanjing in November 2024. ISCA's Partnership to Nurture Accountancy Talent in China Under the partnership, eligible undergraduate accounting students from International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) at XJTLU will enjoy exemptions for selected subjects under the Foundation Programme (FP) of the SCAQ. Upon completion of the FP, students will be conferred the Professional Business Accountant (PBA) title, which is the first step in their journey towards becoming a Chartered Accountant of Singapore. The exemptions provide XJTLU accounting students with an accelerated pathway towards a career in professional accountancy, and helps to further foster interest in accountancy as a study of choice in China. In addition, ISCA will award 20 scholarships amongst the top 5% of students annually, which will cover the fees of the FP. The collaboration between ISCA and XJTLU will be the first stage of a deeper and longer-term partnership between both institutions. Accounting students from IBSS will be connected with companies in China such as Tencent, DBS China, PwC China and the Singapore Nanjing Eco Hi-tech Island (SNECO), who have been recognised as an Accredited Training Organisations (ATO) of ISCA. The network of ATOs in China is expected to grow over the next few years. Professor Jorg Bley, Dean of IBSS, said: "We are immensely proud that our BA Accounting programme has become the first in China to receive accreditation from ISCA. This milestone not only underscores the global recognition of our programme's academic rigor and quality but also reflects our commitment to nurturing future-ready accounting professionals who meet international standards. At IBSS, we strive to bridge East and West by providing our students with world-class education and opportunities to excel in a competitive global landscape. The cooperation with ISCA is a testament to our dedication to innovation, excellence, and the continuous pursuit of delivering value to our students and the broader business community." The MOU was signed earlier today by Mr Tan Wei Luo, Divisional Director for Qualification, Market & Growth at ISCA, and Professor Jorg Bley, Dean of IBSS at XJTLU's Suzhou Industrial Park campus. The signing ceremony was attended by leaders from Suzhou Industrial Park, representatives from ISCA and XJTLU, invited guests from the accounting and business sectors in China and Singapore, as well as the inaugural batch of 20 student scholarship recipients from IBSS at XJTLU. Establishing ISCA's Presence in China As part of broader plans to expand ISCA's presence in China, ISCA will also be launching ISCA Professional Services (PS) Centres in 10 cities around the world by June. These PS centres will serve as a conduit to promote regionalisation and availability of professional services such as sustainability, legal, and other corporate services, to meet the needs of Singaporean businesses in China and vice versa. The ISCA PS Centre is poised to amplify the demand for professional services and accounting expertise. Hence, our partnership with XJTLU marks a pivotal first step in our strategy designed to nurture and grow a robust pipeline of accounting professionals. This collaboration is essential in addressing the growing needs of the business ecosystem in China." said Ms Claire Qian, ISCA Chapter Chairperson for Shanghai. "The cooperation between ISCA and XJTLU will deepen the cooperation and exchanges between China and Singapore in the field of accounting and other professional services," said Mr Qian Fudan, Director (Performance and Asset Management Division) at the Financial Audit Bureau in Suzhou Industrial Park. "This will ensure the growth of more accounting talent with professional capabilities and global experience to support the vision and goal of building a world-class high-tech park with innovation and excellence."

High demand: Mental health now tops health concerns in Singapore, surpassing cancer and COVID-19. New regional hub: MHIN Asia Hub, based in Singapore, aims to share innovative resources and ideas to promote mental health support across Asia. SINGAPORE, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant advancement for mental health care, the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute, in collaboration with the Mental Health Innovation Network (MHIN), unveiled today the MHIN Asia Hub. This milestone event, a cornerstone of the inaugural Global Mental Health in Asia Symposium, marks a major step in addressing mental health challenges across the continent. The Symposium, which takes place from 17 to 19 February and sees the convergence in Singapore of more than 15 global and regional health leaders, was opened by Guest-of Honour Dr Daniel Fung, Chief Executive Officer of Singapore's Institute of Mental Health. Expanding a global network to Asia The MHIN, initiated by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2013, extends its reach into Asia, having established hubs in Africa, and Latin America and Caribbean. Recognising the urgent need for localised solutions in a region that is home to more than half the world's population, the MHIN Asia Hub, operating under the auspices of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute, aims to foster a robust exchange of ideas and resources, enhancing regional mental health strategies. Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing it, the MHIN Asia hub already counts more than 2,000 members. "Asia is home to over half the world's population, yet mental health remains overlooked in many countries across the region. The MHIN Asia Hub will foster regional collaboration, ensuring mental health solutions receive the attention they deserve and are locally relevant," said Dr Petra Gronholm, MHIN Principal Investigator, and Assistant Professor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Mental health gains urgency in Singapore and beyond According to the Ipsos Global Health Service Monitor 2023 (1), mental health is now the top health concern for people in Singapore and across 31 countries, surpassing cancer and COVID-19. In Singapore, public concern over mental health rose from 41 per cent in 2021 to 46 per cent in 2023. Recognising this shift, the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute has established a Global Mental Health Programme to drive progress through awareness, ecosystem strengthening, and thought leadership. "Hosting the MHIN Asia Hub underscores our commitment to being at the forefront of global health discussions and innovations. It's about transforming insights into actions, shaping policies that are both impactful and implementable across Asia's diverse social, economic, and cultural needs," said Professor London Lucien Ooi, Director of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute. A symposium of substance and scope The three-day Symposium serves as a ceremonial launch but also a platform for deep dives into pressing topics such as climate change's impact on mental health. Workshops and site visits offer delegates practical insights into the region's mental health landscape, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities present. The symposium is supported by an array of international partners, including The World Bank, Musim Mas, INSEAD, and the Bloom Wellbeing Fund, along with 12 additional sponsors. Site visits for international delegates are hosted by various Singapore-based organisations such as the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), The Greenhouse, the National Gallery, KKH Youth Mental Health Services, MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation, NUS Health and Wellbeing, Resilience Collective and Silver Ribbon Singapore. The event's success, evidenced by its early sell-out and high engagement levels, has cemented its status as an annual cornerstone event for mental health professionals and advocates across Asia. The symposium includes more than 70 speakers and 300 delegates hailing from 25 countries, 92 per cent from Asia. Among participants are Professor Vikram Patel, Paul Farmer Professor and Chair, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Professor Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia Campus, INSEAD, as well as policymakers from Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Philippines and Vietnam. In addition, more than 60 posters on diverse topics – from youth-led stigma reduction initiatives to peer-led mental health training – were showcased. Selected from more than 160 submissions, these posters highlighted a broad spectrum of ideas and initiatives aimed at advancing mental health and driving meaningful change in Asia. With ongoing initiatives and planned activities, the MHIN Asia Hub is poised to be a pivotal force in reshaping mental health landscapes across Asia, ensuring that innovations and solutions reach those in need through sustained and meaningful collaboration.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 February 2025 - XTransfer, the world-leading and China's No.1 B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, and Ecobank Group, the leading private pan-African financial services group with unrivalled African expertise, have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding of Cooperation (MOU) to roll out comprehensive cross-border financial services to Africa's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in foreign trade. The collaboration will facilitate trade between China and African countries. XTransfer Partners with Ecobank Group In recent years, China and Africa have continued to deepen trade cooperation, with the scale of imports and exports rising rapidly. In 2023, bilateral trade reached a record US$282 billion. From January to November 2024, China's exports to Africa totalled US$160 billion, a 1.4% increase from the previous year, while imports from Africa reached US$107 billion, marking a substantial rise of 6.6%. Despite this growth, African SMEs engaged in foreign trade face numerous challenges related to cross-border payments and fund collections. These challenges include difficulties in opening accounts with traditional banks, a high risk of funds being frozen, difficulties in foreign exchange and related losses, lengthy remittance times and high remittance costs. The partnership between XTransfer and Ecobank Group will foster collaboration between both parties to provide comprehensive cross-border payment solutions for African SMEs' foreign trade. XTransfer will leverage Ecobank's extensive network across Africa, enabling its Chinese clients to collect funds in local African currencies while assisting African SMEs in making payments in their local currencies to negate foreign exchange issues. Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer, stated, "We are excited about the partnership with Ecobank. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for XTransfer and greatly enhances our global payment capabilities. Leveraging Ecobank's extensive payment network in Africa will accelerate our business expansion in the region. We are looking forward to the synergies and opportunities this partnership will create. Together, we will drive innovation and improve the financial landscape, making financial services more efficient and accessible for African SMEs." Jeremy Awori, CEO Ecobank Group, said, "We are proud to partner with XTransfer to advance seamless cross-border payment solutions between Africa and China. This partnership builds on our established strategy, which includes a representative office in China and a dedicated China desk. By integrating XTransfer's cutting-edge solutions with our pan-African payment platform, we simplify payments, reduce transaction costs, and enable African businesses to thrive in global trade." The partnership will facilitate trade between SMEs in China and African countries and also streamline foreign trade transactions between African companies and their global partners. Ultimately, this will help reduce the costs of global trade and enhance the global competitiveness of African SMEs. This partnership aligns with Ecobank's goals of driving financial integration by facilitating seamless cross-border trade, which is the backbone of the continent's economy growth. By collaborating with XTransfer, Ecobank is strengthening its position as a key player in the global payments industry by reducing trade barriers, enabling African SMEs to thrive in international markets and contribute to the continent's sustainable development.
