Chart of the Day: 6 in 10 Singapore businessmen see lack of demand as top risk for firms

They also worry about qualified labour and labour costs.

This chart from the Singapore-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce shows that Singapore businessmen believe that lack of demand (61%) is the highest risk for companies. They also worry about qualified labour (54%), and labour costs (33%).

Meanwhile, the study found that Singapore firms are not concerned about infrastructure (6%), financing (6%), and legal certainty (7%) as they do not see them as major risks to their businesses.

In the ASEAN region, most countries believe that the top risk for firms will be the economic framework conditions (49%). They are also concerned about qualified workforce (44%), and the exchange rate (40%).

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.
