Ethan Hsu: 我认为新加坡的商业租金主要由市场供需决定。作为一个自由市场经济体，政府不直接干预租金价格的设定，而是让买卖双方在自愿的基础上达成协议。大型零售商场通常会根据其零售策略和目标设定租金，并根据不同类型的租户和店铺面积进行调整。虽然政府不直接干预，但会通过一些措施来扶持本地企业和社会企业，例如提供租金折扣和直接分配空间。我相信，从长远来看，自由市场能够更好地促进商业发展，政府的过度干预可能会损害新加坡作为自由经济体的声誉。 Terence Yow: 我认为新加坡的商业租金市场并非完全自由，需要更多的政府监管来平衡市场力量。目前，少数大型房东占据主导地位，导致租金过高，小型企业难以生存。我建议政府应该对长期空置的商铺进行监管或处罚，以防止市场价格操纵。此外，租金数据应该更加透明，就像住宅市场一样，让租户能够更好地了解市场行情。我也提倡将租金与企业收入挂钩，让房东和租户共同承担风险，实现双赢。我相信，适当的政府干预能够创造一个更加公平和可持续的商业环境。

Amid rising rents and growing competition, some Singapore businesses are closing down or relocating to cheaper premises. A local bakery in Siglap recently announced on social media it was moving out after its rent was increased by 57 per cent. Are commercial rent hikes spiralling out of control, or is this simply market forces at work?

Steven Chia and Otelli Edwards speak to Ethan Hsu, head of retail at Knight Frank Singapore, and Terence Yow, managing director of Enviably Me Group of Companies and chairperson of the SG Tenants United for Fairness.
