Property stocks brace for capital outflows on back of weak SGD

Investors are shying away from SGD-denominated assets.

The depreciating Singapore dollar is likely to result in capital outflows for SGX-listed property stocks, a report by UOB Kay Hian revealed.

The report stated that the weak SGD reduces investors’ appeal for Singapore dollar-denominated assets, including Property and REITs.

However, the effect of a strong USD is mitigated by currency hedges and asset liability matching strategies adopted by the companies.

“While the increased purchasing power of the US travellers could benefit the hotel and retail segments, they account for a small segment (around 3%) of visitors to Singapore,” the report noted.

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.
