Singapore is the top nation making acquisitions in Hong Kong

To date, deal values reached US$2.6 billion from 10 deals.

According to Thomson Reuters, a consortium of investors including Singapore's state-owned Temasek Holdings and Mapletree Investments acquired one of Hong Kong's flagship shopping malls Festival Walk this week at a value of US$2.4 billion from Swire Properties, marking the Real Estate industry as the most targeted industry for inbound Hong Kong M&A activity at US$9.6 billion; up 16% from the same period last year. Inbound HK M&A has reached US$7.8 billion through 132 deals thus far.

Singapore is also the top nation making acquisitions into Hong Kong, a significant jump from deal values of US$149million at this point last year to the US$2.6 billion today from 10 deals.

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.
