Singapore secured record S$16 billion investment commitments in 2012

18,600 new skilled jobs coming soon.

According to a release, EDB said that fixed asset investment (FAI) in Singapore "was an all-time high due partly to significant investments from the Electronics and Energy & Chemicals industries."

"The record FAI is a validation of EDB's 'Home' strategy, and reflects the continued strong investment interest by companies to seize long-term growth opportunities in Asia through Singapore," said EBD

But EDB noted that Total Business Expenditure per Annume (TBE) at S$6.2 billion was at the lower end of the forecast, reflecting the short term cautious business sentiments of 2012.

When investments committed in 2012 are fully implemented, they will contribute a record S$20.3 billion in value added, according to EDB, and create 18,600 new skilled jobs, meeting our forecast.

EDB said Singapore's despite the uncertain global economy, the country's tight labor market and foreign manpower policy adjustments, companies have remained confident in Singapore's strong business fundamentals, especially among large MNC's and medium-sized enterprises "as a strategic location to stage their Asian growth from."

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.
