Average Singaporean now earns $2,500

Singaporeans should be happy with their monthly income rising by 4.2% over the year. According to OCBC, the median monthly income of residents in full-time employment rose faster than the marginal growth of 0.5% in 2009.

The higher inflation this year did not hold back the increase in median income which is 1.8%. This gave a recovery from a slight dip of 0.1% in 2009. Overall, the nominal median income for all employed residents rose by 3.3% (real: 1.0%) to $2,500 in 2010, after falling by 1.2% (real: -1.8%) in 2009. The growth in income this year came earlier and stronger than in the previous recovery, when the median income hardly moved from 2001 to 2006, before rising significantly in 2007.

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.
