Investments in Singapore to moderate in 2015 on back of uncertain global outlook: EDB

The EDB clinched $11.8b worth of investments last year.

The Economic Development Board today stated that investment commitment numbers will moderate in 2015 on back of greater uncertainty in the global economic outlook.

“For 2015, EDB expects investment commitment numbers to continue with the trend since 2013, of a more moderate flow of investments. This reflects our sharper focus on attracting projects that are in line with Singapore’s stage of economic development, manpower policies and planned international commitments on carbon emissions,” the EDB stated in a release.

The EDB attracted $11.8 billion in Fixed Asset Investments in 2014, which will lead to the creation of 16,100 skilled jobs when the projects are fully implemented.

This figure is at the upper end of the forecast of $10 - $12 billion. The number of skilled jobs created also exceeded the forecast.

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.
