Construction sector to benefit big-time from investment spillover

It'll pocket 25% of spillovers.

According to the MAS, using input-output analysis, EPG decomposed the sectoral spillovers from a per dollar increase in domestic investment spending. Its estimates suggest that over half of such effects will accrue to the domestic-oriented sectors.

The construction industry is the key beneficiary, accounting for some 25% of total investment spillovers. Further, the strong pipeline of infrastructure projects will generate downstream benefits to ancillary activities such as real estate, and financial and business services.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
