Singapore: Difficult to derail 2010 growth momentum

Macquarie Research says with increases in pharmaceutical output capacity and the strong momentum in the service sector that could cushion the fall-out, contraction previously forecast may not come to pass.

“Favourable base effects have been pointed to as a key cause for the startling strength of Singapore’s economic recovery, especially in the wake of the 18.8% YoY GDP growth in 2Q10. Such views have been further aided by the revision of the base year for GDP figures, however, this overlooks the surge in pharmaceutical output and exports in 1H10,” said Macquarie Research.

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.
