MND stresses need for healthy property market

Responding to REDAS President Simon Cheong's comments on Government intervention to stop private residential prices from rising, the Ministry of National Development says the aim is to maintain a steady and healthy property market.

MND, in a statement, said, "A property market bubble, if allowed to form, may not only impact housing affordability but also severely impact the economy when it bursts. In carrying out its role, the Government has to take into account the interests of all stakeholders, especially home seekers and owners and the economy at large."

The Ministry explained this is done by ensuring an adequate supply of land to meet demand and by providing timely and comprehensive real estate information to the public. "When necessary, the Government will also introduce measures to dampen market exuberance and prevent prices from running ahead of economic fundamentals," said MND.

The statement was issued in response to REDAS President Simon Cheong's keynote speech at the launch of the Singapore Residential Price Index.

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.
