Why Singapore is Asia's most vulnerable to weaker global growth

It would be badly hurt by China's slowdown.

Nomura continues to expect fiscal policy to remain focused on the government‟s medium-term goal of increasing productivity and restructuring the economy, rather than supporting growth.

"As such, we continue to expect a fiscal surplus of 1.0% of GDP versus the budgeted surplus of 0.7% of GDP in FY13," Nomura said.

Nomura also said that with exports at 200% of GDP, Singapore is most vulnerable in Asia to weaker global growth. A sharp slowdown in China, particularly, would likely hit Singapore hard given strong trade links between the countries. Financial market volatility and a sharp rise in onshore interest rates from a Fed QE taper are also risks to the economy.

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.
