The country eyes 2010 investments at S$12 billion

Investments in the manufacturing and services sectors are expected to hold their ground this year.

According to a Bloomberg report, the Economic Development Board pegs total fixed-asset investments between S$10 billion ($7 billion) and S$12 billion in 2010, in comparison to 2009's S$11.8 billion. The report added the government is also targeting to attract as much as S$9 billion in business spending from manufacturing and services industries such as health care, information, and education.

"The economic recovery will help boost the investment climate," said Board chairman Leo Yip. He added, "Singapore’s fundamentals continue to attract companies. We remain competitive in attracting investment."

Singapore is also set to see this month or in February the Economic Strategies Committee's recommendations on economic growth, following the committee's formation last May.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
