Over a third of Singaporeans' saving habits hit by pandemic: study

Only 17% say they were able to save more.

Even the saving habits of Singaporeans have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study revealed by Singapore-based wealth management and financial advisory firm AAM Advisory.

More than 33% of respondents believe their saving habits have been affected, with 25% saying they are now saving less and 11% having lost their income entirely or can’t save at all.

Only 17% of respondents confidently expressed they have been able to save more amidst the pandemic.

Findings show middle-aged respondents (45–54-year olds) were impacted the most, with 30% mentioning they have had to cut on savings and 12% saying they have lost their income.

On the other hand, only 19% of younger respondents (25–34-year olds) say they’ve been saving less during the pandemic. Half of them remark their saving habits haven’t changed, or they have been able to save more even during the crisis.

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.
