Dear Valued Customers,
Welcome to Our March Newsletter
Welcome to this month’s update. It’s been a strong period of growth and progress across the region, with exciting developments in business, investment, and innovation. We’re excited to share a few key highlights that reflect the positive direction our partners and markets are moving in!
As always, let’s get things started by looking at Singapore, the home of where 3E Accounting first started.
3E Accounting Wins Airwallex Outstanding Partner Award 2025
We’re proud to share that 3E Accounting has received the Airwallex Outstanding Partner Award 2025. This award recognises the strong partnership built over time and the consistent effort to deliver high-quality service within the fintech and business space.

New Incentive Framework to Drive Better Investments and Jobs
Malaysia has introduced its New Incentive Framework (NIF), effective from March 1. The goal is to attract quality investments and create more high-paying jobs.
The Deputy Finance Minister shared that the framework will also support growth in less developed areas. At the same time, it will ensure companies follow through on their commitments when receiving tax incentives. The framework has already begun for the manufacturing sector and will roll out for services in the second quarter. Liew explained that the NIF is aligned with global economic changes, aiming to boost people’s productivity and incomes.
Advancing as a Leader in Digital Assets
Hong Kong continues to grow its position in digital finance. The government has launched the world’s first tokenised green bond and has issued digital green bonds worth $10 billion across different currencies.
Financial institutions are also adapting quickly, with over $14 billion now held in digital assets. More banks are offering blockchain-related services, showing strong momentum in this space. Companies all around the world are integrating DeFi mechanisms such as automated market-making and programmable liquidity into their systems. At the same time, regulators such as in Hong Kong are also tightening oversight to address risks linked to anti-money laundering and investor protection.
Strengthening Trade and Investment Partnerships
Indonesia is working closely with Singapore and Malaysia to boost trade and investment. These discussions took place during the 32nd ASEAN Economic Ministers Retreat in the Philippines.
The focus is on building stronger partnerships and supporting long-term growth across the region. Plans are underway to enhance investment ties through the Malaysia-Indonesia Investment Committee (MIIC) and hold Joint Trade and Investment Committee (JTIC) meetings. Border trade cooperation, including implementation of the 2023 Border Trade Agreement and normalization at the Entikong-Tebedu crossing is also a strong possibility.
Definitely more exciting times ahead! Thank you, as always, for your continued trust and support.
