Japanese lenders MUFG and SMBC appear to have lost interest in acquiring a majority stake in Yes Bank, as discussions have stalled since September. Regulatory issues regarding control and voting rights, which cap a promoter's voting power at 26% despite a potential 51% stake, may have contributed to the impasse.
UBS Group AG has laid off four loan syndication bankers in Asia, including two senior figures in Singapore, as the region's loan market faces challenges from high funding costs and sluggish growth in China. The departures come amid a 19% drop in loan volumes in the Asia Pacific, excluding Japan, this year. The affected bankers were part of the team acquired during UBS's takeover of Credit Suisse earlier in 2023.
Norton Rose Fulbright has facilitated a strategic partnership between the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and a consortium led by JP Morgan to expand the Tanger Med port in Morocco, with a total investment of 400 million euros.

This expansion will enhance Tanger Med's capacity to manage truck flows significantly, reinforcing Morocco's status as a key maritime hub.

This potential policy shift aims to alleviate financial burdens in the telecom sector, following previous reforms that removed guarantee requirements for future spectrum acquisitions.
