Bank lending grows in July as property loans tick up

Total loans rose to $610b.

Total loans and advances by domestic banking units (DBUs) grew to $610b in July, higher compared to $606.8b in June.

Data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) show that the growth was partly driven by an increase in housing and bridging loans, which grew to $181.6b from $180.3b in June.

Meanwhile, loans to the construction sector grew at a more robust pace, from $116.3b in June to $117.2b in July.

There was also a notable increase in general commerce loans, which grew from $74.9b in June to $76.57b in July.

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.
