    [SINGAPORE] The continued uncertainty with US tariffs could provide more opportunities rather than challenges to Greenlink Digital Bank (GLDB).

    GLDB chairman Geng Jing believes that the tariffs could spur deeper cooperation and trade between South-east Asia countries, as well as China. “Tariffs will likely not have a short-term impact but a medium- to long-term one,” he told The Business Times.

    The bank aims to leverage the recently signed Further Upgrade Protocol to the China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. Singapore is a bridge between China and the rest of South-east Asia, and this is a chance for GLDB to reach out to the rest of the region via the Republic.
