Chart of the Day: Housing loans fell faster than expected in 2013

Slowdown to persist in 2014-2015.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, the deceleration in housing loan growth (2013: +9.5%; 2012: +15.9%) reflects a weaker property sales and a higher base factor. However, the pace of deceleration, especially that over the last three months of 2013, was sharper than expected.

Here's more:

We expect the slowdown to persist in 2014-2015. Prospective growth will be driven by loan drawdowns from newly completed homes that were sold in 2011-2012. Based on URA data, a total of 19,302 units will be completed in 2014 and 18,278 units in 2015.

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.
