How resilient are Singapore banks against rising property defaults?

The cooling maket puts loan quality under pressure.

Declining property prices will place some pressure on local banks' loan quality, but Fitch Ratings expects the banking system to remain resilient against rising property risks.

In a report released today, Fitch stated that potential losses from mortgages remain minimal given borrowers' healthy household balance sheets and banks' adequate collateralisation.

"We anticipate loan losses to rise as the property market continues to cool, but Fitch expects the regulator to remain vigilant for signs of stress. Banks' corporate and regional exposures--including China-related loans, which are 20%-25%--will drive loan quality," the report stated.

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.
