Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Mar 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Kyrgyzstan continues to solidify its position as a regional crypto hub. The country is advancing its digital asset regulation, testing legal frameworks, and launching licensed platforms. One of the key steps in this direction is the launch of A7A5 - a stablecoin pegged to the Russian ruble within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The token was issued by the Kyrgyz company Old Vector, in full compliance with local regulatory requirements and with the support of the Kyrgyz government.One of the world's leading crypto hubsAs part of the strategic course set by the country's president, Kyrgyzstan has adopted a comprehensive package of laws regulating the cryptocurrency market. For the first time, the country has introduced full legislation on digital assets, covering all major aspects of the industry - from exchanges to token issuers. This has created a new institutional infrastructure that did not previously exist in the market.Among the unique innovations is the mechanism for registering token issuances under official state supervision. Regulators ensure that token emissions comply with regulatory requirements, have fiat backing, undergo regular audits, and meet obligations to token holders. In essence, Kyrgyzstan provides one of the most transparent and secure tokenization models in the world.The first issuance of A7A5 (mint) was carried out in complete accordance with the new national legislation - under the control of regulatory authorities and directed to an officially registered, regulated broker.The A7A5 token is now available for trading on the regulated exchange Meer Exchange and is expected to be listed on decentralized platforms in the future. Its fiat backing is stored in bank accounts, and its volume is audited by an independent firm on a quarterly basis. The key advantage of A7A5 is the opportunity to earn up to 20% annually, driven by its link to the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and additional income strategies in DeFi.For those seeking an alternativeThe digital asset market is moving toward the integration of traditional finance with decentralized technologies. The emergence of stablecoins has enabled users to:Transition from volatile crypto assets to stable currencies without leaving the blockchain ecosystem.Trade freely against the dollar - the world's primary reserve currency.Participate in DeFi protocols, with the potential to earn quasi-fixed income - returns close to fixed.However, despite the overall growth of the segment, stablecoins denominated in other currencies are still in their early stages.Currency diversity? Not yetAlthough the segment has seen significant capitalization, stablecoins other than the dollar still have very limited trading volumes:USDT - exceeds $60 billion per day.USDC - around $6 billion.Stablecoins in euros (e.g., EURT, agEUR) rarely exceed $5–10 million in daily trading volume.Stablecoins in yen and yuan are almost non-existent on major exchanges and DeFi protocols.Stablecoins in emerging market currencies (rubles, reais, rupees, etc.) are virtually absent from the crypto market.This limits the potential for building robust currency strategies, including FX and carry trades, which are at the core of the global financial market with a daily volume exceeding $7 trillion.What's preventing carry trade in crypto?To execute a traditional carry trade strategy in the digital space, several key elements are still missing:Recently, one of the most popular strategies in the global market was the "dollar-yen" trade: borrowing in JPY at a low interest rate and investing in USD. Today, DeFi does not offer the option to borrow in yen or any other currencies to utilize carry trade opportunities, making this scenario unfeasible.The reverse strategy - borrowing in dollars within DeFi - is possible, but there is no infrastructure to invest in assets from emerging markets with fixed returns or to hedge currency risk using derivatives.A7A5: The SolutionThe launch of A7A5, followed by its listing on both CEX and DEX, marks the first step in expanding the range of tools available to crypto investors, including:Participation in income strategies involving assets from emerging markets.The ability to hedge currency risks using derivative instruments.Synthetic and direct participation in RWA (Real-World Assets) through digital infrastructure.A7A5 is designed for investors who are ready to leverage next-generation technologies to achieve higher returns, given the limited alternatives in the world of traditional finance.The listing on Meer Exchange ensures liquidity, transparency, and institutional access to a new class of digital assets tied to the Russian economy and emerging markets.Social LinksX: https://x.com/A7A5officialTelegram: https://t.me/A7A5officialLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/a7a5officialMedia ContactBrand: A7A5Contact: Media teamWebsite: https://a7a5.io/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Set to welcome 4,000 airport professionals, 150 international exhibitors, 4 dynamic pavilions, and 53 speakers from 66 countries and regions, IASEA 2025 is poised to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience throughout the next 3 daysSINGAPORE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The much-anticipated inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) 2025 has officially opened today at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together key airport industry stakeholders, global solution providers, and leading experts to shape the future of airport operations and passenger experience.Themed “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, conversations surrounding these topics are especially crucial as the aviation industry is witnessing rapid transformation and projected global passenger traffic to reach 19.5 billion by 2042.Day 1 morning highlights: Keynotes and expert insightsThe opening day of IASEA 2025 set an exciting tone with thought-provoking discussions and visionary insights from industry leaders. The fireside chat on 'Reshaping Global Airport Operations', led by Patrick Ky, CEO, International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) and moderated by Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS), discussed the fundamental shift they anticipate airport operations will face and how airports must evolve to balance the imperatives of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. When asked to share one game-changing technology that will redefine the industry, Patrick Ky shared that “innovation that drives data sharing will be key”, but that would require many regulatory aspects and willingness from airports to share with each other. This would take time, but it is key to building a stronger future. “It is clear from our discussion that in order to reshape airport operations, it is not just about technological advancements but also about setting standards, data integrity, collaborations, and sharing best practices. Above all, the industry needs to work towards building trust with partners and eco-system players,” said Glory Wee, Senior Director, Aviation Development Group, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS). At the show, leading airports, including Narita International Airport Corporation, and Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), presented case studies highlighting their technological integrations, regional growth strategies, and efforts to meet rising demand while enhancing passenger experience. Shinichiro Motomiya, General Manager, Narita International Airport Corporation, presented the ‘New Narita Airport’ expansion project for the 2030s, which includes extending an existing runway, constructing a new runway, improving connectivity into the city, building a new cargo area, and consolidating this into a single terminal to accommodate the expected increase of passenger capacity from 57 to 75 million and cargo capacity from 2.4 to 3.5 million tons at Narita International Airport.Separately, Vietnam’s aviation sector is experiencing rapid growth, with domestic travel projected to increase by over 20% from 2023 to 2027. To meet this soaring demand, Nguyen Dang Minh, Director of Airport Operations Department, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared ACV’s master plan to develop a robust and resilient airport network by 2050. By 2030, ACV will equip 30 airports across the country with a combined capacity to handle 275.9 million passengers and 4.1 million tons of cargo annually. By 2050, the network will expand to 33 airports (14 international and 19 domestic), ensuring that 97% of the population has access to an airport within 100 kilometres.

SINGAPORE, Mar 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit jumped by 101.5%YOY to US$17.8 million on the back of a 13.5%YOY increase in Total Revenue to US$82.4million, from higher charter rates and a better fleet mix of DP (Dynamic Positioning) vessels.Owned Vessel DivisionOwned Vessel Revenue rose by 28.9%YOY to US$62.1million for FY2024 from US$48.2million in FY2023. This was driven by a larger number of DP vessels in the fleet which pushed the average charter rates for 2024 up by 26% as compared to the average charter rate in 2023.  These factors contributed to a 106.2%YOY jump in Gross Profit from Owned Vessels to US$22.4million for FY2024 with vessel utilization in 2024 at 66%, slightly lower than 68% for 2023.Owned Vessel gross margin has increased to 36.1% in FY2024 as compared to 22.6% in FY2023, reflecting a strong increase in charter rates as well as a better fleet exposure to the DP segment. Our 5150BHP to 8000BHP AHTS as well as PSVs experienced a higher charter rate boost than the rest of the fleet due to rising demand for deeper water drilling projects, which require DP capability.Vessel utilization fell in 4Q2024 to 63% compared to 67% in 3Q2024. Some vessels completed spot contracts while the monsoon season in Brunei also impacted utilization.   These vessels underwent maintenance and will start operations again in mid 1Q2025.  The additional PSV which was delivered in October 2024 did not commence operations until January 2025.                    Chartering Division and Other ServicesGross Profit from Chartering rose by 28.7%YOY to US$1.4million, despite slightly lower revenue of US$13.7million, reflecting improved margins. Gross Profit from Other Services recorded a decline of 16.7%YOY to US$2.6million upon the completion of a contract. Total Revenue for FY2024 rose 13.5% YOY to US$82.4 million with Total Gross Profit of US$26.4 million (+75.5%YOY) for FY2024 as compared to Total Revenue of US$72.6 million and Total Gross Profit of US$15.0 million in FY2023.Direct Expenses and Gross ProfitOwned Vessel Direct expenses rose by 6.4% YOY to US$39.7million, largely from higher maintenance costs, which rose by US$7.5million (+21.8%YOY), in additional to higher crewing costs of US$10.3million (+10.5%YOY).The higher maintenance and crewing costs are aligned with operating a fleet of higher value vessels and a larger proportion of operations outside of Indonesia. Depreciation costs rose by 5.4%YOY to US$13.4million as the number of operational vessels increased. Bunker costs rose by 7.2%YOY to US$3.3million due to higher oil prices and a larger number of vessels mobilized in and out of Indonesia.Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitIndirect Expenses rose by 38.5%YOY to US$8.6million, with Staff Salary contributing US$1million to the increase, reflecting a focus on strengthening the operations, technical and IT teams to manage a higher value fleet, as well as the payment of employee bonuses in line with the strong operational performance. As the Company now participates in more international tenders, there has been an increase in marketing expenses by 164.8%YOY to US$0.66million.Operating margins jumped to 21.6% for FY2024 compared to 12.2% in 2023, as Operating Profit doubled to US$17.8million for FY2024, reflecting the impact of operational gearing on the Company’s profitability as charter rates begin to rise.Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitInterest Expenses and financial charges fell by 4.2%YOY to US$1.2million while interest income rose by 582%YOY to US$0.46million, as the Company continued to accumulate cash flow and pay down debt. Equity in net earnings of associates jumped to US$2.4million for FY2024 from US$0.55million in FY2023, with strong contribution from associated companies with OSV operations which also benefitted from the strong industry upturn.The sale of fixed assets contributed a one-off gain of US$16.1million, largely from the sale of an older PSV in the first half of 2024. Due to the strengthening of the A, the Company recorded a FX loss of US$0.47million mainly from Rupiah denominated trade receivables.Non-controlling interest was significantly higher at US$9.8million compared to a small loss of US$0.04million in FY2023. The largest contributor to this was from the gain on sale of fixed asset as well as the stronger earnings from the PSV business which is 51% controlled by Wintermar.Net Attributable Profit to shareholders for FY2024 was US$22.5million, a significant jump of 237% compared to US$6.7million in FY2023. Excluding the gain on sale of Vessel, the underlying core profit increased by 126.5%YOY to US$15.1million compared to US$6.6 million in FY2023.FY2024 EBITDA increased by 44.8% YOY to US$31.5million.Industry OutlookThe recent months have been characterized by rising global uncertainty arising from dramatic policy changes in the US, the prospect of tariff wars and the fragile ceasefire in Gaza. These upheavals have not derailed the underlying momentum in the upstream investment cycle, which seems to still be unfolding as major oil companies have started to roll back renewable energy projects in favour of investing in oil and gas. The oil price has corrected from previous highs but is forecasted to stay firm in the next couple of years from OPEC+ intervention.In Indonesia, the government remains committed to the various major deepwater projects which have received investment approval in the past 12 months. SE Asian charter rates corrected slightly at the end of 2024 after a very sharp spike up in the past 12 months.  However, there are several  Engineering Procurement (EPCI) projects which require  OSV for short-term projects, which accounts for a more volatile utilization of the OSV fleet.                   Business ProspectsDespite a slower 4Q2024, we are still optimistic on the outlook for OSVs in Indonesia as there are several approved deepwater drilling projects particularly in the Makassar strait and the Andaman sea which are likely to commence in 2H2025 to 2026.  Some EPCI contracts have been awarded and tendering for the marine spread is ongoing for 2H2025 commencement. All this points to continued short term contracts, by virtue of where we are at this early stage of the drilling cycle, and we expect continued volatility in utilization rates while charter rates should remain firm.Wintermar took delivery of 3 units of newbuilt Heavy Load Barges (HLB) between December 2024 to February 2025.  The vessels are in the process of conversion to Indonesian flag and will be ready to work by 2Q2025.  In addition, the Company has ordered a newbuilt Platform Supply Vessel for delivery in 2026, which will enhance the DP capability of the fleet and reduce average age of the fleet.  These acquisitions have been funded through internal cash flow and will be refinanced upon delivery.  In 2H2025, another reactivated PSV is expected to be operational, adding to our capacity for 2025.Contracts on hand as at end February 2025 amounted to US$66million.                About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters. All vessels are operated by experienced Indonesian crew, tracked by satellite systems and monitored in real-time by shore-based Vessel Teams.Wintermar is the first shipping company in Indonesia to be certified with an Integrated Management System by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, and is currently certified with ISO 9001:2015 (Quality), ISO14001:2015 (Environment) and OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety).

DUBAI, UAE, Mar 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vibe Marketing Tech Fest – the Middle East’s largest marketing technology summit, will take place on April 23 and 24, 2025, in Dubai, UAE.Digitalisation has revolutionised how customers engage with brands, transforming the traditional linear funnel into an intricate web of touchpoints. Today’s customer journey is dynamic, interconnected, and far from predictable.Marketers must now navigate a landscape where customer expectations are higher, attention spans are shorter, and engagement spans across multiple platforms and moments.The 16th global edition of  Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) will delve into these challenges, offering insights, strategies, and Martech solutions that empower modern marketers to adapt, innovate, and thrive in this new reality.The theme will focus on the convergence of marketing technologies, ad technologies, and ad journeys and explore how marketers need to adapt, be dynamic, and incorporate customer-centricity into their approach.Marketers must leverage the power of real-time data and technology to comprehend where a customer changes trajectory and what influences their decisions in doing so. “Customers are discerning and any disruption in convenience can hamper the path to conversions. Brands must adapt to fragmented and dynamic paths to purchase, driven by real-time data and emerging AI capabilities. Vibe Marketing Tech Fest puts the spotlight on the consumer, and how brands can navigate the changing technology landscape to deliver this convenience. With this edition, we have added themes like app marketing, ad tech integration, growth, digital marketing and retail media networks,” said Sanjay Swamy, Director at Martechvibe.Top conversations at VMF 2025 will cover:Engagement, Apps & SocialAI, Automation & TechMartech, Adtech & DataBrand Growth & RetentionThe conversations at VMF tackle real-world challenges affecting marketers today, with a look at preparing for possible scenarios in the near future. Rajesh Verma, General Manager, Middle East, Epsilon said, “We need forward-facing platforms like these to help dispel the myths that surround marketing and tech in the Middle East. Take retail media as an example; many believe retail media strategies rely solely on online behaviour and demographics, overlooking the power of transactional data, or that retail media only occurs on a retailer’s website. These gatherings provide an opportunity to educate marketers on the true potential of new media opportunities, and how to avoid the pitfalls. They foster important connections that place attendees in a much better position to navigate the complexities of the evolving landscape.”Richard Shotton, Founder of Astroten, a behavioural science consultancy and author of The Choice Factory and The Illusion of Choice, will deliver the keynote on how human decision-making remains remarkably constant in an evolving technology landscape in his session titled The Enduring Power of Behavioural Science. “It’s increasingly common to see brands and agencies incorporate consumer psychology as part of their process, although it’s not often systematically applied. There’s still an over-reliance on intuition, or when research happens, it’s based on claimed data. For example, creative routes are tested by asking people which ads they think would make them purchase… It’s not that respondents deliberately mislead researchers, just that nobody is aware of all the elements that influence their decisions.  When asked, people don’t — in fact, can’t — tell you what motivates them. So, findings from a lot of market research can never uncover the whole truth. There’s still more headroom to align research with genuine motivation through the application of behavioural science.”Speakers like Scott Brinker, Sir Martin Sorrell, Brian Solis, Neil Patel, Darell Alfonso, Fernando Machado, David Raab, Rob Bloom, and Steve Lok have delivered rich sessions in the previous editions of the summit.This year’s speakers include Alexis Jean Baptiste - Chief Data & Analytics Officer | L'Oréal, James Dutton – Chief Product Officer  | UM MENAT, Mai Cheblak - Vice President Group Media & Social | Emirates NBD, Marwen Ben Messaoud - Head of Growth Middle East, Africa, South Asia |  Spotify, Matthew Horobin - Associate Director Customer Experience | Modon Holdings, Mustafa Bohra - Associate Director - Martech and Analytics | Careem, Nandakumar Vijayan - Global Director, Marketing & Communications | LuLu Group International, Oleg Nesterenko - Chief Marketing Officer | Storytel, Charlotte Davis | Acting Director of Retail Media | Majid Al Futtaim, Sohail Nawaz MBE -  Head of Retail Media | Landmark Group, Sevgi Gur - Chief Marketing Officer | Property Finder, Rishi Gupta - Regional Director: Middle East & Africa | Nothing, and many more.For more information, visit Vibe Marketing Tech Fest 2025.About VMFFounded in 2018, Vibe Marketing Tech Fest (VMF) is one of the world’s largest and most influential marketing tech conferences.
