Singapore hit the hardest by China’s economic waves: Moody’s

Find out the mainland’s share in Singapore’s GDP.

Singapore is the most vulnerable ASEAN country when it comes to China’s economic exposure, a report by Moody’s says.

The regional average of exports as a share to GDP is 7.9%, a far cry from Singapore’s 16.4%.

Moody’s adds that, as the only ASEAN country with significant financial exposure to China, Singapore’s loans to the mainland range from 7% to 19% for the top three Singaporean banks. Much of this lending is dominated by short-term trade financing, rather than direct exposure to Chinese companies or the country’s investment boom, which is likely to prove more resilient.

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.
