Chart of the day: Singapore ranks 2nd in energy FDIs in ASEAN

The country has been part of the top three since 2008.

This chart from Foresight Economics shows the most attractive destinations for energy sector-focused greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI), with Singapore ranking second in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Plus Three.

Singapore has been one of the top countries that attract green energy FDIs since 2008, beaten only by Hong Kong by a very tight margin.

Foresight Economics observed that between 2018 and 2019, Singapore has been able to maintain its momentum despite being second. Hong Kong meanwhile showed a decrease in its momentum.

“As 2020 and 2021 data become available over the next few months, we anticipate that the gap between Hong Kong and Singapore will continue to narrow,” the report said.

Foreign Direct Investment

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.
