Singapore loan growth strengthening but margin pressure to persist

See the impact on Singapore banks.

"The monetary statistics of the Monetary Authority of Singapore for June showed moderating system loan growth, especially in the general commerce (trade finance) and manufacturing segment," said Barclays analyst Sharnie Wong.

"The system loans to deposits ratio was steady at 100%. Singapore banks are defensive to potential liquidity tightening in Emerging Markets in Asia and are key beneficiaries from the rising interest rates in the medium term. However, we see a lack of near-term positive catalysts as strong loan growth will likely be offset by some margin pressure," added Wong.

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.
