Chart of the Day: Singapore's money supply up 8.2%

But yearly expansion could ease to 5.3%.

Singapore's money supply increased yet again, up 8.2% in the month of June.

According to RHB, this is after supply grew 7.8% for the previous two consecutive months. 

"The increase in money supply was driven by higher net foreign position, whereas public and private demand for credit both slowed, capping some of the upside," RHB said.

Looking ahead, the brokerage firm said money supply growth is expected to ease to 5.6% for the whole year, compared to the robust 8.1% improvement in 2016.

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.
