Despite its total outbound investment volume dropping in 2022, Singapore trained its top market in terms of Asia Pacific outbound investment.

Meanwhile, China remained as the top destination in APAC for Singaporean investors with transaction volumes amounting to US$5.914b.

In terms of sectors, Investors mainly deployed divestments to office and residential assets in

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.
