Show me the money: Financial services sector expands 10%

The sector gained from increased domestic and offshore lending activities in the second quarter.

However, the Ministry of Trade and Industry reported, “Some sentiment-sensitive segments within the sector, such as stock trading, fell due to heightened risk aversion.”

The outlook is bright, though, as growth in the financial services sector is expected to be supported by the core financial intermediation and insurance clusters.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
