Singapore haze could further drive up medical costs

After already hefty jumps in May.

Medical Health Insurance cost increased by +7.8% YoY (Apr 2013: +3.8% YoY) while Medical Treatment cost gained by +4.2% YoY (Apr 2013: +3.9% YoY) during the month of May.

"The price pressures in this component may persist in June 2013 as the latest haze phenomenon which hit the republic this month could result in higher demand – and potentially costs – of medical services," predicted Maybank Kim Eng while commenting on the May inflation data.

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.
