Global GDP will contract to 3.3 %

Singapore and other high income countries are expected to slow down global GDP growth in 2011, World Bank said.

Global GDP came in at 3.9% in 2010. It is expected to slow down at 3.3% in 2011 before increasing again at 3.6% in 2012, according to the World Bank.

Prospects in high-income countries' economies, many of which were at the center of the financial boom and bust, will continue to be weighed down by banking-sector restructuring, high consumer debt and a right-sizing of economic sectors that grew unsustainably large during the boom period, according to the World Bank.

Carry-trade flows are expected to decline, as monetary policy tightens in high-income countries and interest rates rise.

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.
