Domestic property market in for another months-long sale slump

New TDSR framework is quite the hoser.

According to OCBC, last month's newly introduced Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework will dampen demand for property purchases and mortgage loans "especially for buyers with existing properties and/or other debt liablities."

The research firm further forecasts that: "A slowdown in volumes and potentially more price discounts could emerge in the months ahead."

"The TDSR rules are wide-encompassing and fairly prescriptive, market players may adopt a wait-and-see attitude first. While June may see an uptick in the processing of mortgage loans, we believe that pace of growth of housing loans will like moderate from the 15.9% yoy seen in the first five months of this year," added OCBC.

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.
