Here's what could derail the recovery in Singapore's office rental market

Geopolitical instability may be a serious threat.

According to Colliers International, downside risks that could potentially derail the office rental market’s nascent
recovery remain. For one, there are concerns over the severity of the US government shutdown as well as a possibility of a US debt default.

Here's more:

In addition, the Eurozone still has a long battle against the high unemployment rate to regain a firmer economic footing.

There is also an air of caution over the impact of geopolitical instability in the Middle East and whether the US’s proposed military intervention in Syria could successfully switch to diplomacy.

An unexpected change in these events could toss the office property market into new turmoil.

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.
