Chart of the Day: Trading volume for commercial assets down 41% YoY in Q4 22

Strata and shophouses continued to see investment activity.

This chart from MSCI Real Assets showed that Singapore posted higher deal activity for commercial assets in 2022 compared to 2021.

It reached a volume of $10b but its deal activity fell 41% year-on-year in 2022 due to the APAC downturn which recorded a slowdown in commercial property activity.

Strata office and shophouse markets continue to post investment activity, with shophouses posting $900m in investment.

This makes Singapore the only major APAC market to see growth in smaller deals under $100m.

Chart of the Day

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.
