Singapore loan market sees nearly 49% growth in 2024

Key driver was the borrowing activity by commodities firms, which accounted for US$18.4b or 23% of the total loan volume

Singapore emerged as a bright spot in the Asia Pacific syndicated loan market in 2024, achieving a 48.9% YoY increase in loan volume to reach US$79.8b, the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) said.

In its report, LSEG said this performance stands out in a region where overall loan activity declined by 7.8%.

A key driver behind this surge was the significant borrowing activity by commodities firms, which accounted for US$18.4b, or 23% of Singapore's total loan volume.

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.
