Market View: How do industry players assess the aerial mobility vehicles market, and how much money is up for grabs to make the venture worthwhile?

Singapore shares opened lower today, tracking losses in global markets following ongoing banking woes worldwide.

The Straits Times Index fell 0.32 per cent in early trade to 3,173.17 points after 46.3 million securities worth S$55.1 million changed hands. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, after a unit of the company that used to hold 43 subsidiaries has been ordered by Singapore’s High Court to wind up. What’s happening there?

Meanwhile, investors continue to mull the state of the global financial sector after news that UBS had agreed to buy rival Credit Suisse in an eleventh-hour merger by Swiss authorities. But to what extent will this prevent a crisis of confidence from spilling over into the broader financial system?

On Market View, the Drive Time team posed these questions to David Kuo, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.

The Great Resignation is a term that we’ve heard a lot over the past year. 

The term, which was coined in May 2021, described the phenomenon where workers quit their jobs after deferring their decisions to do so early on in the pandemic. 

There’s a reason why I’m bringing this term up again - because the hiring scene is what we’re going to talk about on the segment today.

According to Statista, the global executive search industry grew some 17 billion euros between 2012 and 2021. But how sustainable is this trend amid the current state of the current economy, and what does this mean for headhunters?

Also - what does the ongoing series of tech layoffs and the banking crisis in the US mean for companies in the executive search industry? 

On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Sam Belcher, Managing Partner, Asia Pacific, and Katherine Ho, Executive Director, Corporate Governance, Financial Services at The Edge Partnership for more.
