Check out how the land transportation sector will benefit from 2013 Budget

Nomura gives these 3 key growth boosters.

Nomura expects recent measures announced in Singapore’s Budget 2013 to benefit Singapore land transport operators in various aspects.

Here's more:

Increased demand. The measures will likely increase demand for public transport and in particular taxis due to the reduced affordability of car  ownership.

One-time earnings uplift. A one-time road tax rebate on buses and  taxis should provide a one-time boost to profits, which could be meaningful, in our view.

Mitigating cost pressures. The Wage Credit Scheme will likely help mitigate wage pressures and attract more workers to the transport industry and alleviate the labour shortage supply situation.

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.
