Here's proof that Singapore's poor economic performance will end soon

Trade, industrial production bode well.

According to Deutsche Bank Market Research, they think that Singapore’s long-string of poor economic data is about to turn a corner soon. Beginning with production, the research firm sees a fairly decent link between US purchasing manager’s sentiment and Singapore’s industrial production, a large part of which is export-oriented.

"We think the economy is likely to pick up along with global demand shortly. Trade and industrial production have likely bottomed through the first quarter of this year," Deutsche Bank said.

It added that inflation remains high and the housing market continues to rise despite cooling measures. The risk of further tightening measures is therefore non-trivial.

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.
