More companies in Asia headed for bankruptcy

Persistently high interest rates are putting stress on corporate balance sheets and leaving increasing numbers of firms here and across the region, at risk of bankruptcy.

Home builders and developers, leisure and sports, and transport sectors will fare worse if credit access becomes more restrictive and interest spread further increases.

We have seen stress across real estate, industrials, construction and consumer. We also expect to see another round of stress in the airline business, as the stronger and weaker players diverge.

In contrast, non-discretionary industries appear to be faring better, including healthcare, food and beverage and lower priced retailers and grocers. High interest rates are also cushioning some financial services firms.

Deloitte estimated that a conservative US$707bil of non-performing loans (NPLs) were held by banks across the Asia-Pacific at the end of 2022.

Total NPLs here in Spore stood at around US$18bil at the end of 2022, against $27bil at end-2020.

Irresponsible brinkmanship puts Asia’s stability and prosperity at risk

Much of Asia’s growth in recent years has been built on a foundation of strategic stability but that is under threat in a series of potential flashpoints

Leaders and policymakers must know it is dangerously irresponsible to risk lives and livelihoods in the hope of scoring points against their opponents
