Slower growth feared for Singapore

DPM Tharman said the government will spend more in the next five years to sustain growth. MAS meanwhile will continue “judicious management” of the dollar to curb inflation.

A Bloomberg report quoted Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam as saying, “In this environment of heightened risk and volatility, MAS will continue to provide the basis for economic and financial stability in Singapore.”

He said the headwinds from slower global growth will mean slower growth in Singapore in the next few years.

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.
