Insurance broker g&m acquires ANDA from Marsh Singapore

SINGAPORE, Sept. 1: g&m Pte Ltd, a local insurance broker offering advisory services for retail segments of insurance in Singapore, announced today that it has reached an agreement to acquire ANDA Insurance Agencies Pte Ltd, a leading provider of domestic helper and motorcycle insurance, from Marsh Singapore. "ANDA's product line complements g&m's group business and this timely acquisition aligns with our efforts on business growth, digitalization and consolidation," said Douglas Chia, Group CEO of g&m. In spite of the global pandemic, domestic demand for domestic helpers and foreign workers has continued to grow. Coupled with major delays in development projects, the re-opening of borders will likely lead to a surge in the demand for both domestic helpers and foreign workers. "With the huge shift to digitalization in a post-COVID-19 world, many companies have started restructuring their businesses," said Douglas. "Prior to the new normal, g&m had already been gearing up our business model for growth and scalability, ensuring that we are also better positioned to serve the retail segments of insurance." After the acquisition, g&m Pte Ltd and ANDA Insurance Agencies Pte Ltd will both operate independently as an insurance broker and agency respectively. In line with future expansion plans, g&m will continue to seek out suitable acquisition opportunities in both the insurance broking and agency space. About g&m Pte Ltd As a leading insurance broker with over 40 years of industry experience, g&m is transforming the way that Singaporeans access insurance by offering professional advisory services for quick and fuss-free insurance solutions to match their needs.

Chemical Activity Barometer Falls In August

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31: The Chemical Activity Barometer (CAB), a leading economic indicator created by the American Chemistry Council (ACC), fell 0.5% in August on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis following steadily easing gains in May, June and July. On a year-over-year (Y/Y) basis, the barometer rose 12.5% in August (3MMA). The unadjusted data show a 1.6% decline in August after flat readings in July and June. The diffusion index eased to 82% in August. The diffusion index marks the number of positive contributors relative to the total number of indicators monitored. The CAB reading for July was revised downward by 0.53 points and the reading for June was revised downward by 0.33 points. The August data are provisional and subject to revision. "The latest CAB reading is consistent with expansion of commerce, trade and industry, but clearly growth has peaked, with slower growth ahead." said Kevin Swift, chief economist at ACC. The CAB has four main components, each consisting of a variety of indicators: 1) production; 2) equity prices; 3) product prices; and 4) inventories and other indicators. In August, production-related indicators were up slightly. Trends in construction-related resins and related performance chemistry improved. Resins and chemistry used in other durable goods increased. Plastic resins used in packaging and for consumer and institutional applications showed gains. Performance chemistry for industry was solid and exports grew. Equity prices declined amid geopolitical uncertainty and fears about the Delta variant. Product and input prices expanded. Inventory and other supply chain indicators were positive. The CAB is a leading economic indicator derived from a composite index of chemical industry activity. Due to its early position in the supply chain, chemical industry activity has been found to consistently lead the U.S. economy's business cycle, and the barometer can be used to determine turning points and likely trends in the broader economy. Month-to-month movements can be volatile, so a three-month moving average of the CAB reading is provided. This provides a more consistent and illustrative picture of national economic trends. Applying the CAB back to 1912, it has been shown to provide a lead of two to 14 months, with an average lead of eight months at cycle peaks as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The median lead was also eight months. At business cycle troughs, the CAB leads by one to seven months, with an average lead of four months. The median lead was three months. The CAB is rebased to the average lead (in months) of an average 100 in the base year (the year 2012 was used) of a reference time series. The latter is the Federal Reserve's Industrial Production Index. Chemical Activity Barometer for the Latest Six Months and Year-Ago Month* Aug-20 Mar-21 Apr-21 May-21 Jun-21 Jul-21 Aug-21 CAB (3 MMA) 115.40 126.12 127.46 129.05 130.03 130.49 129.80 % M/M 2.6 1.2 1.1 1.3 0.8 0.4 -0.5 % Y/Y -5.8 5.3 12.4 18.8 19.3 16.0 12.5 CAB 117.61 127.59 129.11 130.46 130.52 130.49 128.40 % M/M 1.9 1.5 1.2 1.0 0.0 0.0 -1.6 % Y/Y -3.9 13.9 22.9 20.0 15.3 13.1 9.2 *Percentage changes may not reflect index values due to rounding. The CAB comprises indicators relating to the production of chlorine and other alkalies, pigments, plastic resins and other selected basic industrial chemicals; chemical company stock data; hours worked in chemicals; publicly sourced, chemical price information; end-use (or customer) industry sales-to-inventories; and several broader leading economic measures (building permits and new orders). Each month, ACC provides a barometer number reflecting activity data for the current month, as well as a three-month moving average. The CAB was developed by the Economics Department at ACC. Current-month, unadjusted readings of the CAB are based on high-frequency weekly and daily data. For example, we use equity data as of the Thursday before the release date. Using mid-month data can lead to large revisions if conditions appreciably change in the second half of the month. We have moved the release dates for the CAB to the last Tuesday of each month. We hope this will minimize the revisions. For the full data set, please visit https://www.americanchemistry.com/CAB-vs-Industrial-Production/. The next CAB is planned for September 28, 2021 at 9:10 a.m. ET. The CAB is designed and prepared in compliance with ACC's Antitrust Guidelines and FTC Safe Harbor Guidelines; does not use company-specific price information as input data; and data is aggregated such that company-specific and product-specific data cannot be determined. Note: ACC has strived to prepare this publication to provide the best available information.

AAOS releases new trends and outcomes reports from the American Joint Replacement Registry and the Shoulder & Elbow Registry

ROSEMONT, Ill., Aug. 31: The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program is pleased to announce the availability of two new clinical data reports – the American Joint Replacement Registry Program (AJRR) 2020 Annual Report Supplement and the Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER) 2020 Annual Report. The reports, which were released during the AAOS 2021 Annual Meeting in San Diego, offer actionable information to guide physicians and patient decision making to improve care. "There's great momentum across the AAOS family of registries," said William J. Maloney, MD, FAAOS, chair of the AAOS Registry Oversight Committee. "The number of anatomical areas and procedures covered continues to grow and the data being submitted by participating sites is paving the way for improved orthopaedic outcomes in the United States. We are pleased to publish these clinical insights from the AJRR and the SER and look forward to seeing continued growth and increasingly impactful analyses in the years ahead." AJRR 2020 Annual Report Supplement Data presented in the 2020 AJRR Annual Report Supplement were submitted to the AJRR by 1,110 institutions through June 2020, covering procedures from 2012 to 2019. For the second consecutive year, the supplement includes reporting of device-specific cumulative percent revision estimates, drawn from the registry's unique linkage with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) claims data. In addition, analyses in the 2020 supplement were expanded to include many more devices than the 2019. This year's analysis also examines cumulative, all-cause revision at target timepoints with further stratification of devices based on fixation and bearing descriptions. This report found all hip device constructs included in analysis had a cumulative percent revision of less than 2.7% at one year and less than 4.6% at final follow-up for each respective device. Knee device constructs included in analysis were found to have less than 2.5% cumulative percent revision at three years and less than 3.7% at final follow-up for each respective device Shoulder & Elbow Registry Second Annual Report The SER includes representatives from the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH). The SER collects shoulder and elbow procedural data in the United States to establish survivor curves, track revisions, and support orthopaedic care and best practices. The program's latest annual report represents submitted shoulder and elbow procedures dating from 2015 through 2020. "The AAOS Shoulder and Elbow Registry is one of the most important endeavors being undertaken in shoulder and elbow surgery," said SER Steering Committee member Stephane F. Brockmeier, MD, FAAOS. "This data will drive future clinical care, answer critical questions and contribute to research in the field, and dramatically enhance our ability to provide optimal outcomes for our patients. As can be seen in the 2020 SER Annual Report, the Registry data continues to accumulate at a rapid pace, and new procedures are added for study each year." To date, there are more than 112 SER participating facilities including hospitals, private practices, and ambulatory surgical centers spanning 35 states across the United States. AAOS Registry Program The AAOS Registry Program's mission is to improve orthopaedic care through the collection, analysis, and reporting of actionable data. The American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), the Academy's hip and knee replacement registry, is the cornerstone of the AAOS's Registry Program, and the world's largest national registry of hip and knee joint replacement data by annual procedural count, with more than 2.4 million procedures contained within its database. Additional registries include the Fracture & Trauma Registry, the Musculoskeletal Tumor Registry (MsTR), the Shoulder & Elbow Registry (SER), and the American Spine Registry (ASR), a collaborative effort between the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the AAOS. About the AAOS With more than 39,000 members, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is the world's largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists. The AAOS is the trusted leader in advancing musculoskeletal health. It provides the highest quality, most comprehensive education to help orthopaedic surgeons and allied health professionals at every career level best treat patients in their daily practices. The AAOS is the source for information on bone and joint conditions, treatments, and related musculoskeletal health care issues, and it leads the health care discussion on advancing quality.

Jägermeister Debuts "Night Lights" Short Film Featuring Global Superstar Post Malone to Support #SAVETHENIGHT

NEW YORK, Aug. 30: Mast-Jägermeister US premieres short film "Night Lights" starring global music superstar Post Malone and shot by Academy Award-nominated director Zachary Heinzerling ("Cutie and the Boxer"). "Night Lights" is Post Malone's tribute to the local businesses and communities impacted over the past year, in support of Jägermeister's global #SAVETHENIGHT campaign to help bring life back to nightlife. Watch the film here. Starting September 2021, Limited Edition #SAVETHENIGHT bottles are available for purchase in select stores worldwide with a portion of proceeds from US sales benefiting NIVA (National Independent Venue Association), and a portion of proceeds from global sales going directly back to artists via Jägermeister's Meister Fund – a financial support system for artists and creatives from the #SAVETHENIGHT Meister network. The innovatively designed bottle changes color when frozen at -18˚c and visually represents the efforts of fans, supporters, and nightlife lovers to bring life back to nightlife. Supporting Post Malone's efforts to raise up communities and artists, Jägermeister is also a sponsor of Posty Fest taking place outside of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on October 30-31, 2021. "We wanted to help raise awareness and send support to the whole nightlife community & anyone who's been affected during these tough times," said Post Malone. "All the artists, the creatives, the staff - this is for you." "We are excited to collaborate with Post Malone to uplift the nightlife communities near to his heart, and to launch a product that directly benefits those communities," said Chris Peddy, Chief Marketing Officer Mast-Jägermeister US. "Every purchase of the #SAVETHENIGHT Limited Edition bottle is an active investment in nightlife and brings independent venues one step closer to switching the lights on again."

EQONEX announces the launch of Cross Collateral trading to improve capital efficiency

SINGAPORE, Aug. 30: Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange EQONEX (Nasdaq: EQOS), today announced the launch of Cross Collateral functionality across its platform to enable traders to more effectively manage their collateral when trading derivative products. With the new feature, traders will be able to use US dollars (USD), USD Coin (USDC), and Bitcoin (BTC) as margin for derivatives trading. EQONEX also intends to expand the assets eligible to be used as margin including EQO. The launch of Cross Collateral is another milestone for EQONEX as it introduces more trading tools demanded by sophisticated traders, who are seeking to trade crypto portfolios in all market conditions. It follows the introduction of trading Sub Accounts in June, Ethereum Perpetual Futures in March and BTC Perpetual Futures in January. Cross Collateral gives all customers the opportunity to use multiple assets instead of only USD or USDC to fund their Total Account Margin. This removes the requirement to convert assets into USD or USDC before opening a margined position. In addition, Cross Collateral now allows traders to generate negative USD or USDC balances to handle trading fees, basis payments, and P&L without liquidating any open Cross Collateral positions. Neil Sheppard, Chief Product Officer at EQONEX, said: "As we continue to improve and upgrade EQONEX our main objective is to facilitate the wider institutional and professional trader adoption of crypto assets. "Our roadmap to become the premier trading venue of choice for traders sees the introduction of both additional assets that can be used as Cross Collateral as well as a wider range of derivative products and trading features that will benefit from such functionality."

Godrej Locks introduces 'Godrej Value Co-creators Club', a first-of-its-kind initiative for the architects and interior designers' community across India

MUMBAI, India, Aug. 30: Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business unit Godrej Locks & Architectural Fittings and Systems (GLAFS) has launched 'Godrej Value Co-creators Club' (GVCC), a first-of-its-kind initiative for the Architects and Interior Designers (AID) community. The programme is built around providing exclusive member benefits and extending support with design-thinking insights to drive innovation, while also garnering inputs from the AID Community towards bringing the right product offerings and solutions for the end consumers, clients, and partners. The Godrej Value Co-creators Club programme is aimed at enabling the AID community to successfully execute their design visions as they are involved in the decision-making process while designing both commercial spaces and homes. Through the GVCC programme, the Company is looking at generating co-creation opportunities and increasing awareness about solutions offered by Godrej Locks & Architectural fittings and systems which cater to industries like hospitality, healthcare, corporate offices, IT, etc. Through GVCC, the Company seeks to build strong relationships with AIDs through continuous engagement. This will enable free flow of information so that their feedback can be incorporated, while planning for new product development and to help in securing a better understanding of market trends. To ensure continued engagement with the AID community as part of the GVCC initiative, Godrej Locks will organize periodic webinars that will focus on design trends and inspirations with a spotlight on different cities and their design inclinations. In addition, the Company will also introduce a recognition programme to celebrate the contribution of architects/designers and establish an annual awards ceremony to celebrate minds in the architecture community called 'The GeeVees'. With an aim to kick-start the programme as well as engage with the AID community, GLAFS conducted a special webinar on 'Unlocking Futuristic Designs' by hosting a panel discussion on Envisioning Spaces in the New Normal. The webinar was moderated by Sumisha Gilotra, Editor at Architect and Interiors India, with a board of eminent panelist including Shyam Motwani, EVP & Business Head at Godrej Locks & Architectural Fittings and Systems, Sanjay Puri - Principal Architect from Sanjay Puri Architects, Nandini Somaya Sampat, Director, Somaya & Kalappa Consultants (SNK), Sumessh Menon - Founder, Sumessh Menon Associates, and Ram Raheja - CEO, Raheja Realty. The discussion revolved around how the pandemic has changed the focus towards designing spaces that are flexible and inadvertently unlocked endless possibilities for the AID community while envisioning spaces for the future. Commenting on the launch of Godrej Value Co-creators Club, Shyam Motwani, EVP & Business Head at Godrej Locks & Architectural Fittings and Systems, said, "The AID community has been an integral part of our business and hence it is important for us to always support them along their growth journey. We have been working with architects for multiple projects, but this is for the first time that we have initiated a programme such as this, to bring about a synergy by gathering the pool of their experience and knowledge under one roof. Godrej Value Co-creators Club is an initiative whereby we plan to have a harmonious blend of our brand's Thought Leadership and the AIDs' creativity to create greater value for our end consumers, clients and partners. The aim is to increase the contribution of this AID community by 4 folds in the next 4 years through this initiative." A survey conducted among 230+ participants at the webinar revealed that 78% of clients of the AID community demand integration of locking solutions while designing homes. Moreover, 98% of the AID community considers it important to integrate locking solutions into home design. Architects and designers can make a significant contribution towards meeting a project's safety objectives. These insights from the discussion underlined the importance of how safety as part of design requirements can add value to any project, especially while designing spaces in the new normal. Note to the editor: Please refer to the annexure for quotes from our panelists. Sanjay Puri - Principal Architect, Sanjay Puri Architects stated, "Due to the pandemic, homes have turned into workstations, schools, playgrounds and hence it is a must to cater to a variety of demands that our clients will have in the future while envisioning designing of spaces. Now that we continue to spend more time at home and having to share that limited area with our cohabitants, we need to work on optimizing the available space and develop futuristic homes in the new normal." Sumessh Menon - Founder, Sumessh Menon Associates commented, "When it comes to residential spaces, people have bounced back post Covid and are willing to spend on luxury. A lot of focus has shifted to premium Indian brands, and the demand for high quality, unique products has surged." Ram Raheja - CEO, Raheja Realty said, "Many customers today believe that they will be living their lives very differently in the foreseeable future. Consumer behaviour around buying homes in the post-pandemic era has changed significantly in terms of the requirements in design, facilities, extra rooms, overall lifestyle, etc. The COVID-19 induced pandemic has significantly transformed and impacted industries across the globe." Nandini Somaya Sampat, Director, Somaya & Kalappa Consultants (SNK), said, "As architects and designers, we need to now reimagine the future of spaces and places, while taking a closer look at how we can address the needs of communities in response to the changing nature of how we work and live in this new normal. It is important to ensure that spaces are created or adapted to incorporate safety standards for one and all. Our focus is now shifting towards how we can design to leverage technology and create holistic environments for people, which was lost with the pandemic."

Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Programme Receives Perfect Score for Certainty of Product in FT PWM Report

LONDON, Aug. 29:In the latest 2021 CBI Index, the Commonwealth of Dominica's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme was the only one to be awarded a perfect score for its Certainty of Product pillar. The annual report evaluates operating CBI programmes, an initiative that grants citizenship to those that can make a qualifying investment, using nine pillars as a form of measurement. The Certainty of Product pillar uses five features to determine a programme's ranking. These include longevity, stability, reputation, adaptability and popularity and renown. As one of the oldest programmes on the market, Dominica continues to be a trusted product and a popular option amongst investors. The programme has stood the test of time and has evolved to meet the changing demands of clients. This marks the second year Dominica's CBI Programme has received full marks for its Certainty of Product, making it the only one to do so. The 2021 CBI Index notes: "For the second year, Dominica achieves a score of 10 in the Certainty of Product Pillar — a result of its transparent and highly renowned programme. At 28 years old and with a track record of good governance, the Dominica CBI Programme has led the way in providing clarity as to how CBI funds are used, this year earmarking US$370m for the construction of an international airport. Furthermore, 2215 applications were approved in the 2019/2020 fiscal year (which runs from 1 July to 30 June) — showing strong interest even amid the Covid-19 pandemic." Dominica's programme remains the best CBI option in the world, as ranked by the CBI Index for the last five consecutive years. Its appeal derives from the programme's affordability, transparency and the wide-range of benefits it offers its citizens. This includes increased travel freedom to 75% of the world, a second home in a stable democracy and a currency pegged to the US dollar along with the ability to pass citizenship down for generations to come. Dominica also has one of the most family-friendly programmes on the market, recently widening the number of dependants that can be added into an application. This means those that have a larger-family unit can rest assured that the country takes that into consideration. Those who want to become citizens of Dominica can do so by either contributing to the government fund or buying into selected real estate properties from internationally renowned hoteliers like Hilton, Marriott and Kempinski. pr@csglobalpartners.com, www.csglobalpartners.com

Vaccine inequity causes ‘dangerous divergence' in COVID survival rates – UN agency heads

NEW YORK, August 27: The heads of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Health Organization (WHO) and World Trade Organization (WTO) met with the leaders of the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT), Africa CDC, Gavi and UNICEF to rapidly scale-up vaccines in low- and lower middle-income countries, particularly in Africa. “These countries, the majority of which are in Africa, simply cannot access sufficient vaccine to meet even the global goals of 10 per cent coverage in all countries by September and 40 per cent by end 2021, let alone the African Union's goal of 70 per cent in 2022”, the UN officials said. Vaccine inequity A crisis of vaccine inequity is driving a “dangerous divergence” in COVID-19 survival rates and in the global economy, the agency heads stated, expressing gratitude for “the important work” of AVAT and COVAX in trying to address the “unacceptable situation”. However, they warned, “effectively tackling this acute vaccine supply shortage in low- and lower middle-income countries, and fully enabling AVAT and COVAX, requires the urgent cooperation of vaccine manufacturers, vaccine-producing countries, and countries that have already achieved high vaccination rates”. Reaching targets To ensure that all countries achieve the global goals of at least 10 per cent coverage by September, and 40 per cent by the end of the year, the top UN Officials called on countries that have contracted high volumes of vaccines to “swap near-term delivery schedules with COVAX and AVAT”. They also advised vaccine manufacturers to “immediately prioritize and fulfill” their contracts to COVAX and AVAT, and to provide regular, clear supply forecasts. Moreover, the UN agency chiefs urged G7 industrialized nations and all dose-sharing countries to “fulfill their pledges urgently” with enhanced pipeline visibility, product shelf life and support for ancillary supplies – as barely 10 per cent of the nearly 900 million committed doses have yet to be shipped. “We call on all countries to eliminate export restrictions and any other trade barriers on COVID-19 vaccines and the inputs involved in their production”, the statement continued. World's health ‘at stake' In parallel, the UN agencies are intensifying their work with COVAX and AVAT to tackle persistent vaccine delivery, manufacturing and trade issues, notably in Africa. They are mobilizing grants and concessional financing to support this work. “We will also explore financing mechanisms to cover future vaccine needs as requested by AVAT…[and] advocate for better supply forecasts and investments to increase country preparedness and absorptive capacity”, they assured. The UN agency heads upheld that they would also continue to enhance data, identify gaps and improve transparency in the supply and use of all COVID-19 tools. “The time for action is now. The course of the pandemic – and the health of the world – are at stake”, the statement concluded.
