Half of Singaporeans optimistic about 2025

57% of Singaporeans report high confidence in achieving their goals.

Half of Singaporeans (51%) said that they feel optimistic about 2025, a stark difference from the 29% of Hongkongers sharing the sentiment, according to a survey by MDRi.

In 2025, Singapore's economy is projected to grow by 2.8% buoyed by a robust performance in 2024 and improving external demand.

Moreover, 57% of Singaporeans report high confidence in achieving their goals. Meanwhile, only 34% of individuals in Hong Kong feel similarly assured.

Further, 55% of Singaporeans feel content in their daily lives compared to 43% of Hong Kong residents.

Across both regions, financial stability, health, and family are recognised as the top contributors to happiness.

Additionally, financial and health concerns remain a main focus for both populations.

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.
