LOOKING AHEAD
Although there is still looming uncertainty with the global health crisis, we remain optimistic about the future and our priority remains centred on ensuring that our operations are financially agile to quickly adapt to an unpredictable market environment. With this, the financial management objectives will be focused on conserving cash, streamlining working capital utilisation and maximising value from existing business operations. We continue to keep a close eye on trade recovery, container shortages, and the management of foreign exchange fluctuations.
