Far East Orchard improves earnings in H1 due to border opening

Its earnings reached $8m compared to $1.9m loss in the previous year.

After economic recovery and travel revival, Far East Orchard improved its earnings to $8m in the first half (H1) of 2022 from $1.9m loss in H1 2021. 

Its purpose-built student accommodation business posted a healthy occupancy rate of over 85%, the company said in its financial statement.

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.
