Half of Singapore businesses are terrified of asset bubbles, reveals report

Cyberattacks are another key risk.

Business leaders in Singapore are losing sleep over the threat of asset bubbles and the persistent risk of cyberattacks, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2016.

The report shows that 48% of surveyed enterprises in Singapore rank cybearattacks as the biggest risk to doing business in the city-state. This was closely followed by the risk of an asset bubble, which was flagged by 46% of respondents.

In addition to cyberattacks and asset bubbles, Singapore's top risks to doing business include energy price shocks (35%), terrorist attacks (34%), and the spread of infectious diseases (27%).

Lowest ranked was the risk of state collapse or crisis (0.6%), reinforcing confidence in Singapore’s stability and governance.

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.
