What can weigh down Singapore's financial market?

Economists cited three factors.

The trajectory of Singapore’s financial market and lending conditions will heavily depend on global financial conditions, according to economists.

Economists surveyed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said tighter global financial conditions could potentially weigh on financial markets and lending conditions in Singapore.

Economists also pointed to rising geopolitical tensions (37.5%) and inflation (25%)as downside drivers to Singapore’s financial and lending conditions.

Meanwhile, all economists surveyed by MAS identified less restrictive global financial conditions, including rate cuts by major central banks, as an upside driver of the domestic financial market and lending conditions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
