SEVERELY impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the retail industry faces significant market, financial, people and operational challenges. In light of helping companies in the retail industry, Grant Thornton International Ltd. has produced a publication titled “Retail: Navigating the Impact of Covid-19” for the industry. With the focus of helping retail businesses, Grant Thornton Asean launches the Asean Focus Retail Industry Services to meet rising demand from retail businesses looking to relocate operations to the region in the wake of the pandemic and fluctuating US-China trade tensions. The service focuses on medium to large enterprises looking to expand, relocate or diversify their businesses in the region — the driving force behind the Grant Thornton member-firms from seven Asean countries — Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia — coming together as Grant Thornton Asean. With a team of local experts from different countries, Grant Thornton Asean can provide medium to large enterprises valuable business insights and strategic perspectives, evaluate business challenges and support their needs in local or regional growth, risk management or cost management.
