Chart of the Day: See how far productivity growth has fallen from its peak in 2010

It dipped into negative territory last year.

This chart from OCBC shows how far Singapore's productivity growth has fallen from its peak in 2010.

The republic's productivity growth hit 11.6% in 2010, while real total wage growth hovered at 2.9% in the same year.

In 2014, though, Singapore's productivity growth has fallen to a measly -0.8%, while wages grew by a robust 3.9%.

There were four years in the past decade when productivity growth languished in the red: productivity growth fell to -7/2% and -3.3% in the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and 2009, while productivity growth registered at -0.5% in 2012.

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.
