SG outbound investments plummet 94.9% YoY in 1Q24

Quarter-on-quarter, deals dwindled by 54.3%.

Outbound investments from Singapore have dipped 54.3% QoQ and 94.9% YoY to $911m in 1Q24, data from MSCI Real Assets showed.

Knight Frank said the drop is likely a result of market sentiment remaining “tentative and cautious.”

“Global investors are likely waiting for a reduction in interest rates or for global tensions to ease before making their next move. At the same time, many are in the process of discovery, evaluating potential acquisitions to pursue a deal when the time is right.

Some of the noteworthy outbound investments from Singapore in 1Q24 include StorHub’s acquisition of five assets for $403.0m in Australia in March and the purchase of Yardhouse in Central London by City Developments Ltd (CDL) for $148.6m in February.

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.
