Stubbornly high COE premiums to persist in 2H12

Good thing transport CPI is expected to ease in the near term.

According to CIMB, transport CPI is expected to rise at a slower pace from 2H12 although still-firm business & consumer confidence coupled with a lower COE supply could continue to prop up COE premiums.

"Similarly, accommodation costs are starting to stabilise at higher levels. While they could remain sticky due to full employment, we expect rental inflation to ease as physical completions hit the market in 2013. Overall CPI is expected to moderate to 4.5% in 2H12."

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.
