Chart of the Day: Foreign property deals in Singapore inched higher to 28.5%

Local purchasers badly hit by cooling measures.

According to Knight Frank, even as total new sale, subsale, and resale private transaction volume declined, foreign purchasers constitute a growing proportion of buyers as the TDSR has a greater impact on local purchasers who take loans from local banks. Transactions by foreigners (PRs and non-PRs) form 28.5 per cent of total transactions in 1Q 2014, compared to 25.7 per cent in 4Q 2013, based on caveats lodged data as at 14 April 2014.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
