Singapore’s Sea Freezes Salaries, Cuts Bonuses as Tougher 2023 Looms
(Bloomberg) -- Sea Ltd. fell more than 4% after founder Forrest Li announced it was freezing salaries for most staff and paying out lower bonuses this year, bracing for a worsening global economic environment in 2023.

The Asian internet giant needs to focus on profitability after a difficult 2022, the chief executive officer announced in an internal memo this week seen by Bloomberg News. Li warned that, with the war in Ukraine and inflation around the world, 2023 may prove to be “even more challenging.” It’s doing away with salary increases for staff who aren’t promoted, Li added.
Sea’s shares dived as much as 7.6% before recouping some losses in New York. Li’s memo emerged as major backer Tencent Holdings Ltd.’s co-founder Pony Ma delivered an unusually harsh end-of-year message to employees, warning the survival of some of the Chinese firm’s businesses was in question.
“I want to assure you we will be starting 2023 on stable footing,” Li wrote. “Most of the big changes we need to make are complete.”
The gaming and online-retail giant has lost some 77% of its value this year on questions about its prospects in an era of rising interest rates and intensifying competition. A representative for Sea declined to comment on Li’s memo.
Sea cut about 7,000 jobs, or roughly 10% of its workforce, as it fought to stem ballooning losses and win back investors. It’s also shuttered e-commerce operations in some European and Latin American markets and said it would reduce expenses to cope.
In November, the company announced a smaller than expected quarterly loss, spurring hopes that measures to curtail expenses will help it achieve profitability even as growth slows.

Dollar solidly bid on Fed view, economic resilience; yen eyes weekly gain
The dollar was on the front foot on Friday, as solid U.S. economic data reinforced the need for the Federal Reserve to stay on its aggressive monetary policy tightening path and further raised the odds of higher-for-longer rates. The greenback rose broadly overnight, though was hobbled against the Japanese yen, which has continued to draw solid demand after the Bank of Japan's surprise policy tweak earlier in the week. The euro edged up 0.01% to $1.0601, with the single currency under broad pressure recently due to a combination of weak eurozone growth, the Ukraine war and the Fed's hawkish policy path.
