GDP growth will rebound to 3.5% in 2013: IMF

Sharp growth recovery expected as Singapore largely ignores Eureopean bank deleveraging.

According to OCBC, the International Monetary Fund expects Singapore 2012 GDP growth to be below 3% (OCBC expectation: 2.3%) this year but to accelerate to 3.5% next year in line with our expectations.

They noted that while the weaker global demand would weigh on near-term growth potential, there is plenty of policy room for Singapore, and deleveraging by European banks has not affected Singapore too significantly but requires close monitoring going forward.

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.
