Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

30% global growth drive: China’s 15th Five-Year Plan kicks off with confidence

Published

on

As 2026 marks the beginning of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) amid rising global volatility and fragmentation, CGTN published an analysis exploring how China will sustain steady economic growth, and what drives the resilience of the world’s second-largest economy.

Despite mounting external headwinds, China’s economy has demonstrated “remarkable resilience,” Marshall Mills, IMF’s senior resident representative to China, said late 2025. Noting that China contributes around 30 percent to global growth, he said the country’s steady outlook provides significant support to the world economy at a time of heightened uncertainty.

As 2026 opens the first year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), policymakers have laid out a clear roadmap. At the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping set the overall tone for this year’s economic policy as “pursuing progress while maintaining stability, and improving quality and efficiency.”

“There are many tasks on the economic agenda for 2026. We must grasp the key points and ensure coordinated progress,” Xi said.

In a world marked by volatility and fragmentation, China’s strategy centers on deepening structural reform, strengthening the business environment and accelerating technological innovation.

Stable policies underpin economic growth

China’s top-level policy framework provides a strong institutional foundation for innovation-driven development. This stability and predictability not only supports domestic growth but also reduces uncertainty for businesses and strengthens market confidence.

Over the years, China has elevated scientific and technological self-reliance to a strategic priority and set the goal of building a global science and technology powerhouse by 2035.

This vision has been backed by concrete policy measures. Authorities have advanced major national science projects and laboratories, positioned enterprises as the primary drivers of innovation, strengthened collaboration among industry, universities and research institutes, and improved support mechanisms through tax incentives, R&D subsidies, talent programs and science-and-technology finance initiatives.

At the same time, efforts to improve the business environment and invigorate the private sector have continued. Measures include expanded financing channels, tax and fee cuts, relaxed market access and stronger legal protection.

In January last year, the country’s top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), released guidelines for building a unified national market to reduce transaction costs and improve factor mobility nationwide.

Meanwhile, China’s national lawmakers last April passed the country’s first fundamental law dedicated to promoting the private sector, seeking to ensure fair competition, improve financing access and strengthen legal protections for private enterprises. China has also fully removed foreign investment access restrictions in the manufacturing sector and further shortened its negative list for foreign investment.

For the 15th Five-Year Plan period, building a modern industrial system, fostering new quality productive forces, expanding domestic demand and advancing higher-level opening-up have been placed at the forefront.

Strong foundations, vast potential

Recent data underscores the effectiveness of this policy framework. In 2025, China’s GDP reached 140.19 trillion yuan (about $20.13 trillion), up 5 percent year on year, while foreign trade totaled 45.47 trillion yuan, marking nine consecutive years of growth.

Liu Shangxi, vice chairman of the China Macroeconomics Society, said the performance reflects Chinese economy’s internal resilience despite external disruptions.

Beyond headline figures, structural upgrading has accelerated. Traditional industries have stepped up digital and green transformation, while strategic emerging sectors – including next-generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing and new energy vehicles – have expanded rapidly.

Green transition has become a defining feature of this shift. In 2025, China’s new energy vehicle output exceeded 16 million units, maintaining its global lead for the 11th consecutive year. The country has also built the world’s largest and most comprehensive renewable energy industrial chain. Energy consumption per unit of GDP has fallen 11.6 percent compared with 2020, equivalent to cutting roughly 1.1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

Meanwhile, technological innovation is increasingly embedded across industrial chains. Taking AI as an example, official data shows that by early 2026, China had more than 6,000 artificial intelligence companies, with the core AI industry surpassing 1.2 trillion yuan in scale – up nearly 30 percent year on year. Domestic open-source large models have recorded over 10 billion cumulative global downloads, signaling widespread industrial integration.

With its vast domestic market, complete industrial system, deep talent pool and strengths in digital and green sectors, China has built a comprehensive competitive edge, Liu noted. These fundamentals, he said, will not only sustain the world’s second-largest economy, but also inject greater predictability and stability into an increasingly uncertain global landscape.

Harmony Garden Announces New Growth Phase Driven by Accountability and Strategic Expansion

Published

on

Nigeria, 28th Feb 2026 – Accountability is at the heart of Harmony Garden & Estate Development Ltd’s next phase, as Executive Director Kabiru Mosadoluwa Audullahi reshapes the company’s operations to match the expectations of a more confidence-driven real estate market.

With multiple projects progressing across the Ibeju-Lekki corridor, including Granville Estate and The Parliament Estate, the developer of the Seven Citadels of Joy is deepening its focus on system-led delivery, transparent allocation, and compliance-based processes that give subscribers and investors clear visibility from entry to completion. The direction marks a deliberate move away from personality-driven execution toward a structure where every obligation is defined, tracked, and verifiable.

Under the reinforced framework, allocations are executed through documented agreements, monitored payment schedules, and standardized procedures that place performance within an organized and accountable system. The goal is to ensure that growth is not only visible in project volume, but in the strength of the processes that support it.

For investors, the shift signals reduced execution risk, clearer transaction timelines, and participation in a platform where value is protected by governance and operational discipline rather than discretion.

“Accountability is the currency of trust in this market,” Kabiru said. “Our goal is to ensure that every promise is backed by structure and every milestone can be independently verified.”

With controls now embedded across its workflow and a growing development pipeline, Harmony Garden is positioning itself as a governance-driven real estate company built for transparency, delivery consistency, and long-term stability.

This renewed emphasis on accountability comes at a time when Nigeria’s real estate sector is evolving toward greater institutional discipline, particularly within high-growth corridors such as the Lekki–Ibeju axis. As demand for residential developments increases, investors are placing greater importance on transparency, title security, and the ability of developers to deliver on stated timelines. Harmony Garden’s structured approach reflects an understanding of these market expectations and a deliberate effort to align with global best practices in real estate development.

Across its expanding portfolio, the company is embedding accountability into both its operational processes and project execution strategy. Developments such as Lekki Aviation Town, GranVille Estate, The Parliament Estate (Phases I and II), and Majestic Bay Estate are being positioned not only as investment destinations but as structured communities supported by defined systems and measurable delivery milestones. Each estate is integrated into a broader framework that emphasizes proper planning, phased infrastructure development, and verifiable allocation processes.

Lekki Aviation Town, for instance, is aligned with the region’s ongoing infrastructure growth, providing investors with a forward-looking opportunity anchored on location advantage and structured development. GranVille Estate continues to serve as a well-organized residential environment designed for accessibility and long-term value, while The Parliament Estate reflects a more premium offering with a focus on modern design and lifestyle appeal. Majestic Bay Estate complements the portfolio by offering a unique waterfront-oriented living experience within a secure and well-planned setting.

A key driver of this accountability-focused growth is the Ibile Traditional Mortgage System, which has been integrated across the company’s estates as a flexible and inclusive financing solution. By introducing a structured, culturally aligned pathway to homeownership, the system ensures that subscribers can access property through clearly defined payment plans that are monitored and documented within an organized framework. This not only expands access to housing but also reinforces transparency in transactions, as clients can track their progress from subscription to allocation and eventual development.

The integration of financing with development further strengthens the company’s accountability model, creating a seamless ecosystem where land acquisition, payment tracking, and property delivery are interconnected within a single system. This approach reduces ambiguity, enhances client confidence, and ensures that obligations are clearly defined at every stage of the investment journey.

Beyond financing, Harmony Garden’s operational structure is increasingly supported by technology, documentation, and compliance-driven processes that enhance efficiency and reduce reliance on informal systems. From allocation records to construction milestones, each aspect of the development cycle is being aligned with a framework that prioritizes traceability and performance measurement.

As the company continues to scale its operations, this emphasis on governance and structured execution is expected to play a defining role in its long-term positioning. In a market where trust remains a critical factor, the ability to demonstrate accountability through systems, rather than promises, offers a strong competitive advantage.

With its growing estate portfolio, integrated mortgage solution, and reinforced governance framework, Harmony Garden & Estate Development Ltd is entering a new phase, one defined not just by expansion but by the strength of the systems that sustain it.
