Drinks on us: Services sector sees sales jump 8.2 per cent over the year

A few services industries experienced double-digit growth in the first quarter this year. They include those in recreation and personal services (36.9 per cent), health and social services (15.2 per cent), and financial and insurance services (12.6 per cent).

The rest of the services industries, except for education, also experienced turnover growths of between 4.9 and 7.0 per cent.

Meanwhile, compared to the previous quarter, overall business receipts remained at similar level.
Business receipts refer to the income earned from business operations.
　　

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.
