KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), a leading technology and advisory group specializing in AI, cybersecurity, and capital markets, today announced that it has no material exposure to the newly imposed United States (U.S.) tariffs. Despite ongoing shifts in the global trade environment, the Company maintains a stable outlook and continues to strengthen its dual-track strategy: enabling Southeast Asia’s high-growth businesses to access U.S. capital markets and expanding its enterprise-focused technology solutions.
As global supply chains and capital flows continue to adapt to the complexities of U.S. – China trade tensions, VCI Global is at the forefront of this transformation.

VCI Global has established a proven track record in advising Southeast Asian companies on successful Nasdaq listings. Through its strategic base in Malaysia and access to U.S. capital markets, the Company not only supports IPO execution but also provides strategic consultancy for businesses seeking to establish operations in the U.S. market. This includes market entry planning, corporate structuring, and post-listing advisory.
On the corporate front, VCI Global is accelerating the growth of its fintech, AI-as-a-service, and cybersecurity platforms for enterprise clients across the region. These business lines are core to the Company’s technology portfolio and continue to see strong demand from organizations looking to modernize and secure their operations in an increasingly digital economy.
“Our diversified strategy enables us to stay resilient amid global shifts. As traditional financial hubs face challenges, more companies are looking to emerging markets for growth. We continue to support Southeast Asia companies in accessing U.S. capital markets while expanding our technology offerings to meet the evolving needs of enterprise clients in the region,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global.
