Singapore's Big Build

from ASEAN Speaks Hosted by Maybank

In this week’s episode of ASEAN Speaks, Singapore takes center stage with a construction boom that could reshape the economy. Our Macro Team forecasts the sector to grow at more than 5% annually between 2025 and 2030—well above GDP. Hak Bin shares how this compares with past cycles, what’s fueling the surge, the potential spillover to the broader economy, and the key risks to watch. We then move to the Telco and Internet space. Hussaini breaks down Optus’ latest outage just as a Singtel delegation meets Australian regulators, plus what Simba’s latest results mean for Singtel and StarHub. He also covers Grab’s launch of self-driving services in Punggol and what it could mean for earnings and valuations. And with Wilmar’s cooking oil case overturned by Indonesia’s Supreme Court, Hussaini explains the implications for the stock. Tune in for these insights and more to help you navigate the week’s market moves. Edited by Xuan Hao, Wanzhen
