Maturity wall looms over Singapore builders as home prices plummet

About $1.8b bonds are maturing this quarter.

According to a report by Bloomberg, record debt maturities are hanging over Singaporean real-estate firms' heads. This comes in tandem with home sales posting their longest-ever losing streak, straining the finances of builders less prepared to weather the storm.

Local builders and trusts have an unprecedented S$1.8b (US$1.3b) of local currency bonds maturing this quarter, $1.2b in Q4, and $3.7b in 2017.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
