Transport services boosted services exports.

Singapore's services trade moved out of the lull as it grew by 4.7% and reached a total of $463.3b in 2017.

According to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, both services exports and imports increased by 4.2% and 5.1%, respectively.

The growth in services exports can be linked to the expansion in transport services (+6.9%), charges for the use of intellectual property (+14.7%), and insurance services (+18%).

Exports of services refer to the value of cross-border services provided by residents to non-residents, whilst imports of services refer to the value of cross-border services provided by non-residents to residents.

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.
