China must boost consumption: MorganStanley

Inflation, banking crises and slowing profit growth are economic symptoms which can still be remedied.

According to MorganStanley, China needs consumption. The credit-fuelled investment boom in the post credit crisis period has meant that capital productivity has suffered, resulting in symptoms such as inflation, banking sector asset quality issues and slowing profit growth. Against the backdrop of a slowing working age population growth and increasing sophistication of the workforce, the domestic demand alpha will come from consumption, which will also benefit as the economy moves up the value chain.

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.
