The Singapore government has further trimmed the supply of land for industrial development for the first half of next year due to what analysts said is huge existing supply and the struggle by developers to sell older stock.

It announced on Monday that it is offering six sites with a total area of 4.04ha on the confirmed list, down from 10 sites with a total area of 6.12ha in the second half of this year.

Confirmed list sites go on sale regardless of interest from developers, while reserve list sites are triggered for a public tender only if a developer makes an acceptable opening offer.
