Chart of the Day: Investment activity to remain tepid amid rising interest rates

And lack of investment-grade assets.

The series of property cooling regulations remain in place and continues to take a toll on different sectors across Singapore’s property market.

According to a report by Savills, investment activity is expected to remain lacklustre in Singapore against a backdrop of concerns over rising interest rates and lack of investment-grade assets.

Savills adds that rising real estate prices and consequently diminishing yields in the overseas markets have lead some local developers to preserve their financial resources for opportunities that may arise locally.

On a brighter note, the tender of the commercial site at Paya Lebar, which closed on 31st March with a top bid of S$1.67 billion, may revive interest in what otherwise looks to be a dull market in the second quarter of 2015.

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.
