It represented 65.1% share of the total equity funding value across SEA markets.

Singapore recorded 129 equity deals, valued at $1.5b (US$1.2b) in the first half of the year, representing 65.1% share of the total equity funding value across Southeast Asian markets.

Other markets, such as Vietnam, showed promising activity in deal value (14.9%), whilst Indonesia recorded a healthy deal count (14.8%).

Moreover, the Philippines secured $110m (US$86m) from 15 deals, which propelled its share to 4.7% of the total value–notably edging past Indonesia's $78m (4.2% share) despite fewer transactions.

Malaysia, with 24 deals totalling $12.8m (US$10m), and Thailand, with 3 deals also totalling $12.8m (US$10m), rounded out the primary investment destinations.

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.
