Asian PMIs down

The only good news came from Indonesia, whose PMI improved from the previous month and stayed in expansion territory.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

On the Asian front, the South Korean manufacturing PMI deteriorated from the previous month while Chinese PMIs were mixed (the CFLP PMI fell short of expectations but the HSBC PMI improved). The Jul PMI for Taiwan also deteriorated further into contraction territory while the PMI for India also fell but stayed in the expansion zone. Meanwhile, the PMI for Singapore also disappointed and fell into contraction territory although the PMI for Indonesia improved from the previous month and stayed in expansion territory.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
