Singapore’s economy to grow 3% in 2015, says ADB

Finance is the brightest spot.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecasts Singapore’s economy to grow by 3% in 2015 and 3.4% in 2016, as global recovery gathers momentum and the service sector continues to strengthen.

The ADB believes that finance, insurance, and business services will be the main drivers of growth again in 2015 and 2016, but growth in labor-intensive sectors like construction, retail, and food services could be constrained by the persistently tight labor market.

Domestic demand will also expand as public investment and government spending on public transportation and health-care infrastructure is expected to rise.

Private consumption should benefit from higher government subsidies for education services and the enhancement of a low-income voucher scheme.

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.
