Chart of the Day: See how fintech funding in Singapore recovered in Q2

Singapore is pushing for regional collaboration in Southeast Asia.

This chart from KPMG shows that the total fintech funding in Singapore surged to around US$70m in Q2 from a slump of around US$10m in Q1.

The chart also revealed that fintech funding in Singapore peaked in Q4 2017 to more than US$130m worth of deals.

KPMG noted that Singapore continued to push for regional collaboration in Southeast Asia, including the development of a regional fintech innovation sandbox. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) also pushed on its focus on financial inclusion and started to intensify its focus on encouraging insurtech innovation.

“Riding into the second half of the year, Singapore fintechs will continue to see 2018 as a year of execution and a year of regional expansion beyond local shores as they accelerate their growth momentum,” the firm said.

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.
