We also looked into Singapore’s sluggish IPO market and how REIT listings pulled it out of the doldrums. Analysts believe REITs will be a key theme for Singapore’s IPO market in 2016 as a safe, solid choice in uncertain times. The first half of the year already saw a record-breaking REIT IPO, and expectations that more will push through by year-end are getting high. Singapore Business Review’s latest issue bears the most recent awards and events we’ve held: Business Case Studies Awards, International Business Awards, Listed Companies Awards, and National Business Awards. We bring you the country’s most outstanding companies and the endeavours they have undertaken to uphold the business industry’s competitiveness and high standards. Take a look at our photo gallery to re-experience the event. Enjoy!
