Singapore Business News: The Executive's Reading List for the Lion City
The best sources for Singapore business news in 2026 — from The Straits Times to The Edge — and why Singapore keeps its lead as Asia's executive business hub.
Singapore remained the #1 destination for regional-HQ relocations in Asia for the fourth straight year in 2026. If you're covering the Lion City for capital allocation, corporate strategy, or an APAC rotation, this is the Singapore business news reading list we keep on the desk.
Daily reads
- The Straits Times — Business: the record of daily Singapore business news.
- The Business Times (SG): the trader's paper — best for SGX moves and REIT flows.
- The Edge Singapore: deep-dive equities and corporate-finance reporting.
- CNA — Business: broadcast-grade coverage across ASEAN.
- Nikkei Asia and Bloomberg ASEAN: the international overlay.
Why Singapore keeps winning
Regional-HQ share is now 41% of new APAC HQs, up from 33% in 2023. Family-office growth is the second-order story: the Monetary Authority licensed 2,100 single-family offices under Section 13O/13U by end-2025, and that pipeline is still filling.
Where to meet
The Great Room (One George Street, Raffles Arcade) and JustCo dominate on-demand conference room rental and corporate meeting spaces in the CBD. For boardroom rental, Capella Singapore and Six Senses Maxwell run the quietest executive floors.
