MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 June 2025 – Jollibee, the flagship brand of Jollibee Group, continues its remarkable growth across Southeast Asia, recording strong sales performance and store expansion across key markets in the region. In Q1 2025, the brand achieved an impressive 27.8% systemwide sales growth across its Southeast Asia operations outside the Philippines, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. Jollibee’s strong showing in Southeast Asia strongly contributed to the Jollibee Group’s third consecutive year of record performance in 2024. With strong sales and continued store expansion, Jollibee deepens brand love and local patronage in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei The brand opened 51 new stores in the region in 2024, including its 200th store in Vietnam, which reflects Jollibee’s commitment to bringing the joy of eating to the region’s most dynamic quick-service restaurant (QSR) markets. “We are grateful for our consumers’ love for Jollibee, which reflects the strength of our flagship brand and the appeal of our offerings in different markets,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group. “Our continued strong growth across our international markets, particularly Southeast Asia, is a testament to the hard work of our team and commitment to our 5-year strategy of tripling attributable net income.” Winning with Local Love, Taste, and Innovation The brand’s continuous effort to build relevance and resonance with local customers has resulted in strong local patronage across all Southeast Asian markets. In Vietnam, for example, where Jollibee now operates over 200 stores, nearly all customers are Vietnamese. In Brunei, Jollibee has established a leading position as the market leader in the QSR category, with virtually all customers also being local Bruneians. The brand is also experiencing strong community patronage in Singapore and Malaysia, where the majority of its consumers are locals. Another key driver of Jollibee’s success in the region is the taste superiority of its products, especially the brand’s world-famous Chickenjoy fried chicken—recognized by global platforms such as USA Today as the “Best Fried Chicken” and lauded by renowned publications including Eater.com, Yahoo!, and South China Morning Post. The brand’s Spicy Chickenjoy is also continuing to make waves, with many local consumers in Singapore and Malaysia praising its uniquely spicy kick compared to the competition. Beyond its fan-favorite bestsellers, Jollibee’s success has also been fueled by its ability to introduce locally resonant menu innovations, including Chili Chicken in Vietnam and the Spicy Spaghetti in Malaysia, which have been well-received by local consumers. “Our commitment to delivering superior taste has fueled our growth in Southeast Asia, and we’re grateful to have passionate franchisees and partners who share in this mission,” shared Dennis Flores, President of Jollibee Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia. “We are excited to strengthen these relationships, while also seeking new franchisees for new markets as we bring the joy of superior taste to more customers around the world.” Accelerating Expansion in Southeast Asia Riding on this momentum, Jollibee will continue its store network expansion across Southeast Asia, contributing to the global food company’s mid-term goal of tripling its business in five years. This ongoing expansion reinforces Southeast Asia’s critical role in Jollibee Group’s global growth strategy, as the company continues its commitment to spreading joy through superior taste through global expansion, combining strong brand equity, product excellence, and operational agility.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 June 2025 – June 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most eventful months of the year for global markets. For traders, this means opportunity—but also volatility. The economic calendar is packed with macroeconomic data releases and central bank meetings, while geopolitical risks remain close to the surface. Beyond the usual inflation prints and interest rate decisions, markets will also have to digest key developments around global diplomacy: the NATO and G7 summits, peace negotiations in Eastern Europe, U.S. trade talks with China and the European Union, as well as debates around nuclear policy in the Middle East. Add to this the lingering fiscal tensions in Washington, and it’s clear that June won’t be business as usual. Octa Broker explains why the economic calendar is worth monitoring and what events to watch out for in June 2025. The Role of the Economic Calendar for Traders For traders, the economic calendar is more than a schedule—it’s a risk map. It flags: central bank rate decisions inflation and employment reports Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates and growth outlooks high-level summits with potential for market-moving headlines. These events affect not just macro sentiment but also short-term liquidity and intraday volatility. And when several collide—as they will in June—market reactions tend to be sharper, faster, and harder to fade. Anticipating such events in advance allows traders to capitalise on potential opportunities and adjust risk management—some even avoid trading during volatility. Key Economic Events in June 2025 Here are some major events to follow in June: June 4: Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate decision June 5: European Central Bank (ECB) rate decision June 6: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls June 11: U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) June 15–17: Group-7 (G7) Summit June 17: Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate decision June 18: Federal Reserve (Fed) rate decision—includes Economic Projections and the Dot Plot June 19: Swiss National Bank (SNB) rate decision June 19: Bank of England (BoE) rate decision June 20: People’s Bank of China (PBoC) rate decision June 24–25: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Summit June 26–27: European Council Summit June 27: U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index June 30: German CPI Potential Impact of June Economic and Geopolitical Events For Traders Heightened Volatility Expected June is shaping up to be an eventful month for currencies and rate-sensitive assets, with seven major central bank meetings scheduled—the BoC, BoE, BoJ, ECB, Fed, SNB, and PBoC. Traders can anticipate heightened volatility not only in the major USD-based pairs but also in equity indices, individual stocks, and commodities. June’s Federal Reserve meeting is particularly important, accompanied by updated Economic Projections and the Dot Plot—forward-looking instruments via which markets infer future rate trajectories. Surprises can unleash dramatic repricing in Treasury yields, gold, and risk assets. Macroeconomic Divergence as a Market Driver Inflation paths remain divergent. In the U.S., core CPI slowed to 2.3% YoY, potentially softening the Fed’s stance. Meanwhile, ECB officials appear divided: Klaas Knot said inflation risks remain uncertain, while Pierre Wunsch hinted that rates could fall below 2%. This split supports tactical positioning in EUR/USD and EUR/GBP, particularly around central bank commentary. Geopolitical Events Could Disrupt Risk Sentiment June’s summits aren’t ceremonial. The G7 Summit will cover trade security and energy cooperation, while the NATO meeting will focus on defence spending and alliance posture. Any hawkish statements or surprises around Ukraine, China, or the Middle East could move commodity markets—particularly, oil and gold—and affect defence-sector equities. Bond Market Tensions Could Spill Into FX and Equities Rising Treasury yields, recently breaching 5.0% on 20-year note, are fueling concern over U.S. fiscal policy. As Moody’s warned, the sustainability of U.S. debt is becoming a market risk. Traders should watch for safe-haven rotation into gold, Bitcoin, Swiss franc (CHF), and the Japanese yen (JPY). Japan, however, is facing debt troubles of its own, as yields on 30-year bonds recently climbed to multi-decade highs, prompting calls to BoJ to either increase bond buying or halt its plans to gradually reduce such purchases. Either way, traders should keep a close eye on both the U.S. and the Japanese bond markets. Ongoing Trade Negotiations Remain a Wildcard The May U.S.-China joint statement hinted at easing tensions—but markets remain sceptical. There are still several critical obstacles to a comprehensive trade agreement between the parties. For example, on May 12th, China’s Ministry of Commerce strengthened control over strategic mineral exports, on which the U.S. is highly dependent. Other critical sticking points include technology transfer issues and Artificial Intelligence (AI), as China’s growing semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts are not particularly favoured in Washington. Furthermore, there is still uncertainty as to whether any meaningful progress in trade talks between the U.S. and EU can be achieved in June. Although the parties agreed to fast-track the negotiations, some business leaders are sceptical. June won’t be a month for passive positioning. With central banks sending mixed signals, inflation data diverging, and global diplomacy back on the front pages, traders will have to juggle more than just charts. This is the kind of environment where preparation matters more than prediction. Knowing when the Fed drops its Dot Plot is as important as watching where oil prices go after a NATO statement. With overlapping narratives and rising volatility, it’s not about calling the top or bottom—it’s about managing risk around known catalysts and staying nimble when the unknowns hit.

XINJIANG, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 June 2025 – As engines roared across the vast desert skies, the 2025 Taklimakan Rally—dubbed the “Asian Dakar”—roared to life in China’s largest desert. This FIA-certified premier event stretches 4,500 kilometers across Xinjiang, including 2,350 kilometers of grueling special stages through the infamous “Sea of Death,” Gobi deserts, and dramatic Yardang landforms—terrain long revered as the ultimate test of man and machine. Marking its boldest return yet, GWM enters the fray with its complete lineup of mass-produced vehicles, unshaken by the challenges that lie ahead. GWM’s Mass-Produced Off-Road Fleet Takes on China’s Largest Desert Rally Early Dominance Proves Production-Level Excellence GWM has already made a powerful impression, with its unmodified production vehicles dominating key categories. In the T2.1 fuel class, the HAVAL H9 diesel—equipped with a factory-spec 2.4T engine and triple-locking differential—has claimed multiple stage victories, including the punishing SS5 stretch across Moyu’s Red and White Mountains. Its confident navigation of shifting dunes and rugged Gobi terrain highlights the brand’s expertise in diesel technology and all-terrain engineering. In the hybrid T2E category, the GWM TANK 300 Hi4-T has emerged as a standout contender. Drivers Yao Weiqiang and Zhou Renbin clinched stage wins in SS2, SS6, and SS7, powered by the model’s stock Hi4-T system—a 2.0T engine paired with a P2 motor and 9HAT transmission. The setup’s seamless torque delivery and rapid responsiveness in intense sandstorms and steep dune climbs reinforce GWM’s new energy off-road platform as both powerful and efficient. Stock Cars, Extreme Terrain: GWM’s Factory Off-Roaders Hold Their Ground The Taklimakan Rally, recognized globally as a proving ground for endurance, draws elite teams with its unforgiving terrain and rigorous FIA standards. For GWM, the event is more than a competition—it’s a bold assertion of technological independence. The brand’s three flagship lines—HAVAL, GWM TANK, and POER—are all in the spotlight. Every participating vehicle, from the HAVAL MENGLONG (gasoline) and HAVAL H9 (diesel) to the GWM TANK300 Hi4-T, GWM TANK400 Hi4-T, GWM TANK500 Hi4-Z, and the POER V6, runs with factory-standard engines and transmissions, modified only for safety. No race-tuned upgrades, no compromises—what conquers the desert is exactly what customers can drive off the lot. Built to Last: GWM’s Factory Engineering Faces the Desert Head-On “We chose to compete in the T2 production class to further validate our production vehicles under extreme conditions,” said GWM CTO Nicole Wu. “Our goal is to bring the same models designed for our users into the heart of the Taklimakan Rally.” Throughout the grueling 4,500-kilometer course, every component faces relentless testing—each shock absorbed by the suspension, every spike in engine temperature, every grain of sand in the drivetrain becomes proof of GWM’s “Intelligent Off-Road” capability. As the rally continues, GWM’s message is unmistakable: reliability isn’t engineered in laboratories—it’s forged in the field. By pushing production vehicles through some of the planet’s harshest terrain, GWM is redefining what “Made in China” means—one sand-covered, stage-winning machine at a time.

Commerce Dot Com Sdn Bhd honoured with Corporate Excellence Award at APEA 2025 for driving ethical, inclusive, and impactful digital transformation in Malaysia’s public procurement sector. PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 May 2025 – In an era where digital transformation often prioritises scale and speed, Commerce Dot Com Sdn. Bhd. (CDC) is proving that integrity, inclusion, and impact can and should guide innovation. This conviction has now been recognised regionally, as CDC was honoured with the Corporate Excellence Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2025. Group Chief Operating Officer of Commerce Dot Com Sdn. Bhd., En. Abdul Halim Mohammed Yusof (center), receiving the Corporate Excellence Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. The award recognises companies that exemplify business leadership and innovation grounded in ethical values. For CDC, it’s a milestone that crowns a 25-year journey of shaping Malaysia’s public procurement landscape through technology that serves not only government, but people. “This award affirms a principle we’ve held since day one: innovation must be purposeful, and progress must be principled,” said Group Chief Operating Officer Abdul Halim Mohammed Yusof. “We accept this not just as recognition, but as a responsibility—to continue leading with ethics, empathy, and excellence.” CDC pioneered the digitalisation of Malaysia’s public procurement in 2000 with the launch of ePerolehan—a system that now connects over 180,000 registered suppliers, including a growing base of SMEs and micro-enterprises. Beyond numbers, ePerolehan represents a vision: to democratise access, enhance transparency, and reduce friction in public-sector spending. This approach, anchored in good governance, has earned CDC trust from both the public and private sectors. Its systems are not only robust and secure, but designed to serve national development priorities such as vendor empowerment, fiscal responsibility, and data accountability. From employee wellness to leadership development, CDC’s internal programmes are structured to ensure its values are not just stated but lived. Looking ahead, CDC is not resting on legacy. It is actively enhancing ePerolehan with AI-driven analytics, real-time decision dashboards, and user-centric design updates, all while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and public accountability. As digital governance becomes a strategic priority across Southeast Asia, CDC is also exploring regional collaborations to share Malaysia’s e-procurement model and insights.
