Chart of the Day: Mass-market segment drives acceleration in prices

Cue entry of cooling measures.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

Overall private housing prices in Singapore accelerated to a 1.8% QoQ increase in 4Q12 (URA flash estimates), versus 0.6% in the previous quarter.

A major driver of the increase was due to a strong market in the mass-market segment (Outside Central Region – OCR) where prices accelerated to a 3.4% QoQ increase in 4Q12, compared to 1.0% in the previous quarter.

To cool the property market, authorities have implemented its most comprehensive set of property cooling measures since Sep 2009.

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.
