Singapore growth at a standstill

Industrial production, for instance, experienced in April and May the first back-to-back decline since 2009.

A Bloomberg report noted, “Singapore’s expansion probably stalled last quarter as manufacturing declined, presaging easing growth across Asia as rising U.S. joblessness and a widening European debt crisis undermine the global recovery.”

The report added that gross domestic product was unchanged in the second quarter from the previous three months, when it climbed an annualized 22.5 percent, according to the median estimate of 13 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

Irvin Seah, an economist at DBS, was quoted as saying, “Risks to economic growth have risen while inflation has passed its peak.”

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.
