SG’s outbound investment drops 36.4% QoQ in 3Q23

Year-on-year, outbound investment declined 62%.

Singapore’s outbound investment fell to $2.7b in 3Q23, data from Real Capital Analytics showed.

The 3Q23 figure translates to a 36.4% QoQ and 63% YoY drop.

In a report, Knight Frank attributed the decline to muted sentiment due to “escalating borrowing costs negating positive carry from property income streams, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and market uncertainties.”

Some noteworthy deals in 3Q23 include CLD’s purchase of interests in 25 freehold residential assets in Japan for $321.9m and CapitaLand Ascendas Reit’s acquisition of a data centre in the United Kingdom for $209.4m.

Chart of the Day

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.
