China rebound forecast to extend

Full-year growth target of 7.5% is also expected to be achieved.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Industrial profits rose for the first time in six months last month by 7.8% yoy to CNY464.3bn (Aug: -6.2% yoy), according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

Meanwhile, Jia Kang, a Ministry of Finance researcher, commented that China will achieve its full-year growth target of 7.5% this year, and a “rebound in the fourth quarter is likely to extend into next year.”

Manufacturers and retailers are less optimistic about sales compared to three months ago, and more companies are cutting jobs, according to its Beige Book report.

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.
