With lower growth in 2019 than in 2020, Colliers International predicted a gloomy property market outlook for Singapore in the near future. Andrew Haskins, Colliers’ Executive Director of Research in Asia, outlined the key market trends and sector forecasts based on macroeconomic data and geopolitical factors for its Annual Report titled ‘Asia Market Outlook 2019’.
The report in quoting Colliers’ US chief economist Andrew Nelson noted that “despite years of talk in financial markets of “decoupling”, prospects for the world’s largest economy, the United States, are still the key determinant of macro-economic prospects for Asia. And all is not well in the US. While the US has enjoyed 110 consecutive months of positive growth since emerging from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–2009, below the surface there are signs that a slowdown is starting to take hold.”
