Property stocks soar amidst eased curbs

CapitaLand, CDL, and UOL are amongst the biggest gainers.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Singapore developer stocks soared as authorities eased some property market curbs, with analysts saying the changes will buoy shares that have been weighed down by a three-year losing streak for house prices.

Authorities will adjust a framework that limits the amount that homebuyers can borrow from 11 March 2017, and shorten the time that owners must hold a property to be exempt from a stamp duty on sale, according to a statement. City Developments Ltd., CapitaLand Ltd., and UOL Group Ltd. led gains on the Straits Times Index, surging at least 3.6%, whilst an index of 44 Singapore real estate companies rallied to the highest since July 2015.

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.
