Why SingTel won't be badly hurt by Myanmar bid loss

Market is just 5% of total EV.

According to DBS, Myanmar proceeds last week to award the telco licenses. The winners of the tender are Qatar-based Ooredoo and Norway-based Telenor with France Orange-Telecom as back up should any of the winners be disqualified.

DBS had estimated that the Myanmar market is worth US$2.8bn or just about 5% of SingTel’s total EV. Hence, a win may still not have a significant on SingTel’s earnings.

"Rather, we remain concerned on Bharti’s recovery prospects and losses from SingTel’s digital business. We also have concerns regarding weak AUD, INR and maintain Hold on SingTel," DBS said.

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.
