Chan, who will join a high-level delegation led by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in early June, also said the city’s bourse was “definitely” eyeing closer collaboration with its counterparts in the region. “We want to make sure that we are a very accessible market when it comes to global companies wanting to explore accessing a deeper capitalising platform,” she said.

Hamas Confirms Death Of Its Top Military Commander In IDF Gaza Strike Israel's military has just taken out a high-value target, with the confirmed death of the commander of Hamas's military wing, Mohammed Odeh . He was targeted in a a strike on the Gaza Strip Tuesday, in an operation which injured dozens more bystanders, given a residential building in a very busy market area of Gaza City was obliterated. via MSN However, the IDF and Shin Bet security service sought to explain that Odeh used the civilian residential buildings as a hideout, but that his movements starting months ago were being tracked to that location. By Wednesday, Hamas belatedly confirmed Odeh's death, along with his wife and two of his children . Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a joint statement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the "commander of the armed wing of the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza was eliminated yesterday and sent to meet his associates in the depths of hell." "In the Prime Minister's name and in my own, congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet on the brilliant execution," Katz said. "We committed ourselves to eliminating everyone who led the October 7 massacre , and that is what we will do: They are all marked for death, wherever they may be," the defense chief added. According to more emerging details of the strike : Tuesday's strike hit the upper three floors of the al-Kayali building in the center of Gaza City, where streets were busy with shoppers ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Rescue teams rushed to the scene of the strikes but struggled to reach the upper floors because of the scale of the damage and congestion in the area. Despite a Gaza ceasefire technically having long been in place, sporadic Israeli strikes and interventions in Gaza have continued for the last many months. This past weekend saw IDF military actions in the enclave ramp up. For example on Sunday Reuters had confirmed new significant strikes on Gaza just as Wa...

EQT AB appointed Nicholas Macksey and Hari Gopalakrishnan to jointly lead its Asia private equity business, positioning a new generation of leaders to deploy a record $15.6 billion regional fund. The pair take over as co-heads from Jean Eric Salata , who formally became global chairman of EQT on May 12, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg News. Salata, who will continue to chair the region’s private capital investment committees, is shifting his focus to broader strategic priorities following his elevation. A Hong Kong-based spokesperson confirmed the contents of the memo. The transition underscores Asia’s expanding footprint within the Stockholm-based alternative asset manager. EQT is gearing up for a fresh investment push in the region, armed with ample cash just as Asian dealmaking begins to recover from a prolonged cyclical downturn. Currently head of EQT’s Asia mid-market opportunities platform, Macksey, based in Singapore, launched the strategy and raised a $1.6 billion debut fund in 2024, more than double its original target. His track record includes working on the firm’s investment in Nord Anglia Education Inc., which generated a near fourfold return last year. EQT Returns $5.4 Billion to Investors After Education Bet Soars EQT Billionaire Takes On Wall Street Titans in Big Asia Push Buyout Firm EQT Anoints Asia-Based Salata as New Chairperson Gopalakrishnan, the head of private capital for India and global co-head of services, helped build EQT’s tech services franchise.

Originally founded in 1997 as Baring Private Equity Asia before its $7.5 billion acquisition by EQT in 2022, the Asia unit has invested about $30 billion across more than 160 deals. The unit currently manages a portfolio of roughly 65 companies employing more than 270,000 people.
