Chart of the Day: Housing loans held steady at 0.8% amidst new cooling measures

LDR was also stable at 100%.

According to Barclays, housing loan growth was steady at 0.8% m/m and 5.2% ytd.

Barclays said that in late June, the MAS fine tuned rules on housing loan-to-value limits to prevent circumvention of tighter LTV limit on second and subsequent housing loans and introduced a 60% Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) cap, to further strengthen credit underwriting standards.

"The loans to deposits ratio was stable at 100% with loans and deposits growth 0.3-0.4% m/m. Despite the elevated tightness in system liquidity relative to history, we believe Singapore is still one of the most resilient markets in EM Asia to liquidity outflows," Barclays said.

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.
