Chart of the Day: 90% of Singapore's 2012 GDP came from domestic demand

Despite sluggish external demand.

According to Nomura, domestic demand contributed to 90% of Singapore’s GDP in 2012 even as external demand was weak.

It is interesting to note that construction and business services were the key contributors to Singapore’s meagre 1.3% GDP growth in 2012.

Here's more from Nomura:

Within business services, real estate and legal services are key contributors to growth in the business services segment.

To the extent that these two sectors are dependent on the health of the property market, a sharp pullback in activity in the property sector could dampen economic growth going forward.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
