SG records 959 bankruptcy filings in Q123

The figure is higher than the application received in Q122.

The number of bankruptcy filings in Singapore has increased year-on-year, jumping to 959 in Q123 from 912 in Q122.

Responding to the Parliament, Alvin Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry, said applications could also pick up further “as a small segment of more vulnerable borrowers faces higher risks of financial distress amid higher interest rates and slower economic growth.”

Meanwhile, the minister also revealed that there has not been a pick up in property-related foreclosures so far.

In Q123, only five commercial and five residential loans were foreclosed by financial institutions. The average last year was four commercial and 12 residential foreclosures per quarter.

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.
