Singapore’s Forsman & Bodenfors and SwedCham, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, announced the launch of their joint campaign, SESG. The ambitious project aims to help small businesses in Singapore affected by the pandemic by creating partnerships with larger multinational entities.
What kicked off as a big OOH campaign, where the small companies appear on billboards and buses across the island for the first time, is the start of a long term initiative. Now, Swedish multinational companies in Singapore are working together with the country’s small and medium-sized enterprises to exchange experiences and develop business.
The initiative has several activations. First came the launch of ‘The Advocate,’ an islandwide advertising campaign that promotes local entrepreneurs. Small businesses, ranging from chicken-rice hawkers to self-trained bakers, to family-owned jewelers and decades-old tailor shops appeared on billboards and buses.
Million-dollar HDB flats are hiding a worrying resale price trend. Here’s proof.
In November 2020, another 13 HDB flats were transacted in the resale market for a price of $1 million and above taking the number of million-dollar flats sold in the calendar year to an all-time high of 73 with a month left to go. (The previous high was 72 flats in 2018.)
Notably, we are seeing HDB flats further away from the city centre clock million-dollar transactions. Ang Mo Kio notched its first and second million-dollar HDB transaction this year, whereas Clementi saw four million-dollar transactions this year alone, compared to five from 2016 to 2019.
