Singapore FDI rising on both approvals and actual

HSBC noted FDI actually picked up during the financial crisis as investment in the recent integrated resort developments was realised.

“The trend is clearly upward, which has so far helped to offset the portfolio deficit. Moreover, with that deficit declining, FDI inflows will start to add to a further positive support from SGD appreciation,” said HSBC Global Research.

FDI is likely to remain strong and aid SGD appreciation, given Singapore's positive business environment and a solid fundamental economic picture, added HSBC.

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.
