Updates on the Singapore Moratorium - Impacts and Future Implications
The Singapore moratorium on data centres was announced in 2019 and has had a significant impact on local and neighbouring data centre markets.

In this session, we take a look at the impact of the moratorium, as well as discuss the implications of the CFA requirements on the trajectory of the Singapore data centre market.
