Singapore economic growth expected to drop at 5.2% in 2011

While a full-year growth of 14.8% is expected for 2010.

HSBC said that the growth of 5.2% for 2011 is mostly owing to the smaller contribution from net exports and a drawdown in incentories as the global restocking cycle is coming to an end.

These factors are expected to reverse in 2012 with the recovery in global growth. This will also lift private domestic demand and raise GDP growth to an estimated 5.8% in 2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
