Singapore records $10B foreign investments in 2010


Singapore received US$10 billion worth of investments from international firms in 2010,   modestly surpassing the US$7.79 billion forecast.


The Singapore Economic Development Board noted that investments in 2010 were for fixed assets such as facilities and equipment. When these projects are completed, they are expected to generate some 21,300 skilled jobs - a record number.

EDB attributed the healthy figures to the improved outlook as the global economy rebounds. It expects more such investment interest for Singapore in 2011, particularly in being a home base for companies.

It plans to attract US$9.35 billion to US$10.9 billion in fixed asset investments in 2011, and generate 19,000 skilled jobs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
