Investor appetite for gold remains strong in Q1

In contrast, jewellery consumption saw a 20% YoY decrease to 1.7t.

Strong investor demand saw Singapore's first quarter’s gold bar and coin purchases rise 35% year-on-year (YoY), reaching a record 2.5 tonnes (t), according to a Cognito report.

In contrast, jewellery consumption saw a 20% YoY decrease to 1.7t as record price levels for gold impacted affordability.

Despite selling 3t of gold during the period, the Monetary Authority of Singapore maintained its total gold holdings at 220t.

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.
