The property sector remained subdued but not really that bad at all. Barclays will show you in 10 charts.

November developer sales rose 39% m/m and 79% y/y to 759 units, bringing 11M15 sales to 7,144 units (-0.1% y/y). While Barclays expects a quiet December, believes sales for full year 2015 could slightly exceed 2014’s full year sales of 7,316 units.

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.
