Analyst predicts further tightening in Singapore property market

The 60% threshold is just the beginning.

According to Nomura, whilst the latest measure by itself may appear to lack bite, the accumulated weight of the strew of property measures to date demonstrates the continued stance of the authorities to manage down home price increases.

MAS has stated that the threshold is set at 60% to allow both FIs and borrowers to “familiarise themselves with the framework."

Here's more from Nomura:

It will “monitor and review the 60% threshold over time, with a view to further encourage financial prudence.”

The statement itself appears to suggest that the 60% threshold is likely to persist beyond the short-term and that there is room for further tightening.

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.
