Where does Singapore stand in the downstream market index?

Its risk-reward index sits at 58.6.

As the upstream index of Asian countries continues to be badgered due to weakness in global oil prices and spending pullbacks among producers, their downstream, index is expected to be intact and to improve over subsequent quarters, with Singapore topping the list.

According to a report produced by BMI Research, Singapore remains at the top of downstream market in the Asia-Pacific.

The city-state's world-class downstream infrastructure and better fuels consumption growth compared to its competitors such as South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan propelled its downstream risk/reward index to 58.6.

"The highly sophisticated nature of its refineries and broad product slates mean that Singapore is in a good shape to thrive in an increasingly competitive Asian refining market," the report noted.

India closely followed, wherein improving technological capability of domestic refineries and the sheer size of projected demand growth over the coming years again lifted its score above most regional peers.

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.
