Housing loans up 22.5%

Bank loans growth jumped from 12.2% yoy in September to 13.8% yoy in October. According to OCBC, the increase was buoyed by both business (10.1%yoy and 0.8%mom) and consumer loans (18.1%yoy and 1.8%mom), especially housing/bridging loans (22.5%yoy and 2.1% mom).

The slowdown in recent new private residential property transactions may only start to feed into the loans growth data in H1 2011. Moderation in loans growth from 12% in Q4 2010 to around 5%yoy in 2011 is to be expected.

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.
