Domestic bank lending slips to $607.5b in January

Due to lower general commerce loans.

Singapore's total bank lending recorded a month-on-month drop in January. Data released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore showed that total loans and advances by local banks amounted to $607.47b in January, down marginally from $607.9b in December.

The amount of loans to general commerce firms and financial institutions showed the biggest drop. This offset the growth in the amount of loans to the manufacturing, building, agriculture, and transport sectors.

Housing and bridging loans increased to $178.2b, while total consumer loans grew to $237.2b.

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.
