SINGAPORE: Singapore is unlikely to attract large-scale investments in data centre capacity from foreign investors, despite its recent plans to increase its capacity, says a market report by BMI Research, a Fitch Solutions company, on June 3.

This is because the allocated capacity in Singapore is not enough to meet the load requirements for data centres in South-East Asia.
