 - content_oldOnce the center of global trade, the Netherlands was at the crossroads cultures spanning the globe – from its neighbors in Europe to its former colonies in Southeast Asia. That globalized outlook and openness to other cultures is deeply ingrained among the Dutch. Certainly, it is those same traits that have kept the Netherlands an important trading hub, a major industrial power and an innovative learning center. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Edu-W%20Europe/4-Forbes-CH-2021-Europe-EDU-NL-Mnister-of-Education-Ingrid-van-Engelshoven.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">Dutch Minister of Education Ingrid van Engelshoven</figcaption> </figure> In March, GMI Post interviewed Dutch Minister of Education Ingrid van Engelshoven to ask her about the enduring appeal of obtaining higher education in the Netherland for hundreds of international students and researchers. GMI Post: How important are Chinese students, in particular, to the Netherlands? van Engelshoven: Chinese students are the third largest group of international students in the Netherlands, after the Germans and Italians. Between 2019 and 2020, the Chinese made up around 5% of the number of international students in the Netherlands. GMI Post: What are the competitive advantages of Dutch universities for international students? van Engelshoven: Dutch universities, both our research universities and universities of applied sciences, offer very accessible, high quality education. GMI Post: What distinguishes the Netherlands from other European countries when it comes to its international educational experience for Chinese students? van Engelshoven: Dutch higher education institutions have more international courses and English-taught courses than other European countries. Aside from that, many of our research universities top global rankings consistently. GMI Post: What measures are the government taking to encourage more international students to come to the Netherlands? van Engelshoven: Our policy to attract international students has been very successful. At the moment, we are not instituting new measures to attract more international students. To make education here more attractive, we are working harmonizing the needs of the labor market with the programs most popular with our international students.

 - titleEducation in Western Europe 2021
 - descriptionGMI Post is putting together the first-ever Guide to Education in Western Europe to be published in Mandarin in Forbes China magazine in mid-2021. As the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic gives Chinese students much fewer choices to study abroad, Western Europe remains a safe and attractive destination to a quality education. More than ever, Chinese parents and students need reliable information about the current global educational landscape and their options. Apart from promoting the entire region as an excellent, open and secure destination, the guide will also feature some of Western Europe’s best and most reputable universities and educational institutions. Any inquiries regarding this report can be directed to Danelle Ong and Maria Sanchez.

Analysts predict that Greece’s GDP to grow between 3.5 and 4.0 percent in the coming months. Supporting this prediction is the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, which came into effect in 2019, created the world’s largest free trade zone, and gave a strong boost to Greek agri-food exporters. In fact, only one year after the EU-Japan EPA came into effect, Greek exports to Japan doubled. The upcoming report will highlight Greece’s highly profitable prospects outside the EU and identify valuable investment opportunities for Japanese companies.

 - contentJapan has been a favorite market for Irish companies in the Asia-Pacific region not only because the Japanese value loyalty in business, but also because they share an open-mindedness towards game-changing innovation. In the recent years, Ireland has gained global admiration for becoming a leading hub for technology. It has also convinced some multinational companies to move their European headquarters and main operations bases there. Although medical technology, fin-tech, aviation and engineering have shown impressive growth in exports to Japan, pharmaceuticals remain as the largest Irish export.

 - descriptionAfter 160 years of shared history, the USA and Japan have become strong partners in diplomacy and trade. This is especially evident in Southern California, where Japan remains the largest source of foreign direct investment and significant driver of its economy. As of January 2020, there are around 800 Japanese companies in Southern California, which generate about 80,000 jobs. Both sides look forward to a further flourishing of relations with the accession of Japan's Emperor Naruhito last May and the start of Reiwa Era, which aspires to bring "beautiful harmony" between Japan and its friends, and with a signing of a new limited trade deal.

It was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with China, its largest trading partner followed by Japan and Korea. "We are a geographically isolated nation that places huge reliance on the economic benefit derived from engaging in trade. We need some predictability around that and that is why we really focus and support multilateral agreements," explained Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who expanded New Zealand's FTA with Singapore and initiated new trade talks with the European Union.

 - titleBolivia 2017
 - descriptionWith an annual GDP growth exceeding 5% per year, Bolivia has one of the region's most dynamic economies. Mining of silver, zinc and gold has remained Bolivia's traditional revenue earner. But with a young and growing population, a rising middle class, and enormous tracts of arable land, the country is looking beyond mining and is promoting investments in the services, construction, real estate and agriculture sectors. Bolivia's success is best exemplified by Santa Cruz, once a backwater town of just 40,000 people 50 years ago. Today, the city is home to 3 million Bolivians, or nearly 30% of the country's population, and accounts for almost 40% of Bolivia's economic activity and foreign direct investments. This phenomenal growth is attributed to the city’s strategic location, rich natural resource and more importantly, the residents’ appetite for risk and openness to doing business. Scheduled to be published in the April 2017 in the Japan Times, the Special Business Report on Bolivia will highlight the investment potential of the country and its different cities.

 - titlePeru 2017
 - description2016 continues to be a year of momentum for Peru as the recently elected President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski consolidates his country’s position as one of the best performing economies in Latin America. With its many investment opportunities, Peru has become a gateway into South America and a reliable partner for growth. With a shared history that spans more than 140 years, Peru was the first Latin American country to formalize relations with Japan. Both countries have nurtured that long history to deepen their own cultures and economies. Amid increasing areas for cooperation, business leaders from Peru and Japan are exploring new business ventures. Scheduled to be published in February 2017, the Special Business Report on Peru will highlight the success of the country as host of this year’s Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and provide a clear picture of the Peruvian economy.

 - contentAs an innovator in a wide range of industries, Japan has exported its game changing technologies and expertise to the rest of the world. However, over the past two decades, its economy has experienced sluggish growth. Maintaining its position as the third’s largest economy, Japan continues to find new ways in creating economic boost. “As the Japanese government works on a wide range of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, the ACCJ has offered policy prescriptions that encourage further reform and growth in Japan,” said Christopher LaFleur, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated that his top priority continues to be economic growth, with accelerating Abenomics being key. Introduced in 2012, Abenomics is a set of economic policies combining aggressive fiscal spending, monetary policy, and structural reform.

 - descriptionBordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and by the Andes mountains to the east, Chile has faced geographical challenges in creating trade routes with its nearest neighbors. Undaunted by those limitations, the country has forged free trade agreements with some of the world’s strongest economies, such as the United States, China and Japan. Traditionally a mining economy with the world’s largest copper reserves, Chile has successfully expanded its economic base, capitalizing on its natural beauty to build a dynamic tourism industry and supporting its export sector to attract more investors from Latin America. To mark 120 years of diplomatic relations with Japan and the 10th anniversary of the Chile-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the upcoming Special Business Report on Chile in the Japan Times will highlight the stability of the country and its ideal investment climate.

Philippe Le Saux and Elizabeth Arcega update from the field. June 20: The team hit the ground running as Week 1 in Taiwan unfolded. All but one of our initial meetings were with foreigners who have chosen to do work and do business in Taiwan. These discussions gave us an interesting preview of what we can expect to hear throughout this stay: Passion and enthusiasm from foreign executives who have discovered the merits of being in this country. This positivity was echoed by the first Taiwanese individuals that we met, the leadership of the <a href="http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">Taipei Financial Center Corporation</a>, which is responsible for Taiwan’s most iconic structure: The Taipei 101 Tower. The warmth of our welcome, paired with the rhetoric of excitement and openness conveyed by the Taiwanese, shows the tremendous potential of the 2014 Taiwan Report. - PLS

But Qatar is also rich in ambition as it embarks on creating a future founded on a limitless resource — knowledge and innovation. Overseen by His Highness the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the country has developed the Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, which outlines various projects to build a knowledge and talent-based economy within seventeen years. The Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), the first of its kind, began operations five years ago as an initiative of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser to stimulate innovative industries.

Over the past 20 years, Panama has laid out the groundwork to become the region’s foremost center in logistics and financial services — a sensible next step in the economy’s development given its position as one of the world’s most important conduits of maritime trade. One of the fastest–growing economies in the Americas, Panama has achieved average GDP growth of 8 percent over the past decade, with the annual figure surpassing 10 percent in some years.

As I again stand at Japan’s helm, I am driven by a sense of urgency to remedy this scourge of deflation immediately. One way forward will be to take advantage of our resources, which, while incredibly rich, are still largely untapped. One long-neglected resource is our human resources, particularly women and middle-aged and elderly workers.

Unlike other developed countries, Australia emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis that struck in 2008, and the economy did not fall into recession. An open investment climate, flexible markets, a diverse economy, and effective regulatory systems — these characteristics of our economy served us well. As other economies fell back, Australia was able to stimulate the economy without taking on dangerous levels of national debt.

And during a visit that year, President Obama’s televised speech at Universitas Indonesia was arguably the most anticipated address by a visiting foreign leader in our history.

Analysts predict that Greece’s GDP to grow between 3.5 and 4.0 percent in the coming months. Supporting this prediction is the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, which came into effect in 2019, created the world’s largest free trade zone, and gave a strong boost to Greek agri-food exporters. In fact, only one year after the EU-Japan EPA came into effect, Greek exports to Japan doubled. The upcoming report will highlight Greece’s highly profitable prospects outside the EU and identify valuable investment opportunities for Japanese companies. Inquiries regarding this report can be directed to Project Coordinator <a href="mailto:francis@gmipost.com?subject=Special%20Report%20on%20Greece" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Pacheco</a>.

 descriptionDuring his state visit to the United States in April 2016, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reaffirmed his confidence that Japan and the United States would “together pave the way toward a new era.” He also acknowledged the “infinite possibilities” for increased Japanese-U.S. collaboration.

 titleBolivia 2017
 descriptionWith an annual GDP growth exceeding 5% per year, Bolivia has one of the region's most dynamic economies. Mining of silver, zinc and gold has remained Bolivia's traditional revenue earner. But with a young and growing population, a rising middle class, and enormous tracts of arable land, the country is looking beyond mining and is promoting investments in the services, construction, real estate and agriculture sectors. Bolivia's success is best exemplified by Santa Cruz, once a backwater town of just 40,000 people 50 years ago. Today, the city is home to 3 million Bolivians, or nearly 30% of the country's population, and accounts for almost 40% of Bolivia's economic activity and foreign direct investments. This phenomenal growth is attributed to the city’s strategic location, rich natural resource and more importantly, the residents’ appetite for risk and openness to doing business. Scheduled to be published in the April 2017 in the Japan Times, the Special Business Report on Bolivia will highlight the investment potential of the country and its different cities.

 contentAs an innovator in a wide range of industries, Japan has exported its game changing technologies and expertise to the rest of the world. However, over the past two decades, its economy has experienced sluggish growth. Maintaining its position as the third’s largest economy, Japan continues to find new ways in creating economic boost. “As the Japanese government works on a wide range of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, the ACCJ has offered policy prescriptions that encourage further reform and growth in Japan,” said Christopher LaFleur, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated that his top priority continues to be economic growth, with accelerating Abenomics being key. Introduced in 2012, Abenomics is a set of economic policies combining aggressive fiscal spending, monetary policy, and structural reform.

 titleSweden 2016
 descriptionBecause of its readiness to adapt to the rapid changes and huge demands of the global economy, Sweden has remained one of Europe’s most vibrant and stable economies. Once known as a traditional industrial power, the country of only 10 million people has repeatedly reinvented itself and continues to impact billions of people around the world more than they realize. What drives this success? An open attitude, a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a constant thirst for innovation have been those driving forces. The upcoming Special Business Report on Sweden, to be published in late 2016, will be the maiden report on this country in Forbes and Forbes Asia. The report will highlight Sweden’s success stories, its most dynamic sectors, and the most critical partners for business growth.

Philippe Le Saux and Elizabeth Arcega update from the field. June 20: The team hit the ground running as Week 1 in Taiwan unfolded. All but one of our initial meetings were with foreigners who have chosen to do work and do business in Taiwan. These discussions gave us an interesting preview of what we can expect to hear throughout this stay: Passion and enthusiasm from foreign executives who have discovered the merits of being in this country. This positivity was echoed by the first Taiwanese individuals that we met, the leadership of the <a href="http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">Taipei Financial Center Corporation</a>, which is responsible for Taiwan’s most iconic structure: The Taipei 101 Tower. The warmth of our welcome, paired with the rhetoric of excitement and openness conveyed by the Taiwanese, shows the tremendous potential of the 2014 Taiwan Report. - PLS

Over the past 20 years, Panama has laid out the groundwork to become the region’s foremost center in logistics and financial services — a sensible next step in the economy’s development given its position as one of the world’s most important conduits of maritime trade. One of the fastest–growing economies in the Americas, Panama has achieved average GDP growth of 8 percent over the past decade, with the annual figure surpassing 10 percent in some years.

 titleLos Angeles 2020
 descriptionAfter 160 years of shared history, the USA and Japan have become strong partners in diplomacy and trade. This is especially evident in Southern California, where Japan remains the largest source of foreign direct investment and significant driver of its economy. As of January 2020, there are around 800 Japanese companies in Southern California, which generate about 80,000 jobs. Both sides look forward to a further flourishing of relations with the accession of Japan's Emperor Naruhito last May and the start of Reiwa Era, which aspires to bring "beautiful harmony" between Japan and its friends, and with a signing of a new limited trade deal.

It was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with China, its largest trading partner followed by Japan and Korea. "We are a geographically isolated nation that places huge reliance on the economic benefit derived from engaging in trade. We need some predictability around that and that is why we really focus and support multilateral agreements," explained Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who expanded New Zealand's FTA with Singapore and initiated new trade talks with the European Union.

The Special Business Report on Japan, tentatively scheduled for publication in the March/April 2018 issue of Foreign Affairs, follows two successful reports in March/April and July/August 2017. It will highlight Japan’s top and growing industries and businesses across prefectures, while identifying opportunities for investment and collaboration available to foreign companies.

 description2016 continues to be a year of momentum for Peru as the recently elected President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski consolidates his country’s position as one of the best performing economies in Latin America. With its many investment opportunities, Peru has become a gateway into South America and a reliable partner for growth. With a shared history that spans more than 140 years, Peru was the first Latin American country to formalize relations with Japan. Both countries have nurtured that long history to deepen their own cultures and economies. Amid increasing areas for cooperation, business leaders from Peru and Japan are exploring new business ventures. Scheduled to be published in February 2017, the Special Business Report on Peru will highlight the success of the country as host of this year’s Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and provide a clear picture of the Peruvian economy.

Undaunted by those limitations, the country has forged free trade agreements with some of the world’s strongest economies, such as the United States, China and Japan. Traditionally a mining economy with the world’s largest copper reserves, Chile has successfully expanded its economic base, capitalizing on its natural beauty to build a dynamic tourism industry and supporting its export sector to attract more investors from Latin America. To mark 120 years of diplomatic relations with Japan and the 10th anniversary of the Chile-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the upcoming Special Business Report on Chile in the Japan Times will highlight the stability of the country and its ideal investment climate.

 descriptionJapan alone has wrestled over the years with the bane of deflation. Deflation robs people of their expectations, turning optimists into pessimists. As I again stand at Japan’s helm, I am driven by a sense of urgency to remedy this scourge of deflation immediately. One way forward will be to take advantage of our resources, which, while incredibly rich, are still largely untapped. One long-neglected resource is our human resources, particularly women and middle-aged and elderly workers.

Unlike other developed countries, Australia emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis that struck in 2008, and the economy did not fall into recession. An open investment climate, flexible markets, a diverse economy, and effective regulatory systems — these characteristics of our economy served us well. As other economies fell back, Australia was able to stimulate the economy without taking on dangerous levels of national debt.

In 2010, nearly a decade after 9/11, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and U.S. President Barack Obama signed the historic Comprehensive Partnership. And during a visit that year, President Obama’s televised speech at Universitas Indonesia was arguably the most anticipated address by a visiting foreign leader in our history.

 titlePhilippines 2010
 descriptionThe People Power Revolution of February 1986 broke the political evolutionary logjam that followed the proclamation of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1972. That was how the late Corazon C. Aquino viewed her role in the restoration of democracy after the assassination of her husband, Benigno S. Aquino Jr. on August 21, 1983 and it is what brought her to the fore, when her successors attempted to revise the constitution and eradicate all provisions on term limits.
