Property stocks brace for capital outflows on back of weak SGD

Investors are shying away from SGD-denominated assets.

The depreciating Singapore dollar is likely to result in capital outflows for SGX-listed property stocks, a report by UOB Kay Hian revealed.

The report stated that the weak SGD reduces investors’ appeal for Singapore dollar-denominated assets, including Property and REITs.

However, the effect of a strong USD is mitigated by currency hedges and asset liability matching strategies adopted by the companies.

“While the increased purchasing power of the US travellers could benefit the hotel and retail segments, they account for a small segment (around 3%) of visitors to Singapore,” the report noted.

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.
