Construction sector to benefit big-time from investment spillover

It'll pocket 25% of spillovers.

According to the MAS, using input-output analysis, EPG decomposed the sectoral spillovers from a per dollar increase in domestic investment spending. Its estimates suggest that over half of such effects will accrue to the domestic-oriented sectors.

The construction industry is the key beneficiary, accounting for some 25% of total investment spillovers. Further, the strong pipeline of infrastructure projects will generate downstream benefits to ancillary activities such as real estate, and financial and business services.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
