Singapore exports to lose steam in 2011

The rebound in trade shown in the last three months of 2010 is seen to be temporary, UBS said.

Singapore export-to-GDP came in at around 15% in the previous year.

Exports are a key source of income for Asia and are a primary determinant of the Asian business cycle. Singapore and Hong Kong are affected the most by the trade cycle.

UBS expects trade to decelerate year-on-year until 2Q11; but the rate at which Asian export bottom could be higher than they originally pencilled in.

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.
