Sentosa Cove condos, once sold for premiums, have hit below $2,000 psf.

At the recent relaunch of The Residences at W Sentosa Cove Singapore, the average selling price was below $1,800 psf.

It is a bargain compared to new launches on mainland Singapore this year, including those in the Outside Central Region, with one development selling at over the $2,000 psf mark.

With property values on the island showing a decade of declines and capital appreciation as a key factor, the question arises: is this an opportune moment for investment?

We get more insights from Wong Shanting, Head, Research and Market Intelligence, ERA Singapore.

While landing on the parameters for a region-to-region free trade agreement is difficult, discussion has now shifted towards more specific areas of cooperation.

Speaking at the EU-ASEAN Business Council’s 10th anniversary gala dinner, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat explained that the difficulty is due to differences in ambition and readiness between member states.

He also highlighted that both ASEAN and EU share the belief that “connectivity and integration are enablers of growth and development” - a key factor underpinning the steadfast partnership between the two regions.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Sujiro Seam, EU Ambassador to ASEAN shares his insights on where EU-ASEAN relations are headed against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties.
