Stubbornly high COE premiums to persist in 2H12

According to CIMB, transport CPI is expected to rise at a slower pace from 2H12 although still-firm business & consumer confidence coupled with a lower COE supply could continue to prop up COE premiums.

"Similarly, accommodation costs are starting to stabilise at higher levels. While they could remain sticky due to full employment, we expect rental inflation to ease as physical completions hit the market in 2013. Overall CPI is expected to moderate to 4.5% in 2H12."

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.
