Chinese consumer sentiment crashes in August

MNI's China Consumer Sentiment Indicator falls to year-low level of 90.4.

MNI said the deteriorating indicator, which has slid from its June peak of 101.6 and July's 90.9, can be viewed as a negative response to ecconomic slowdown.

"Sluggish July economic data and a lack of new government policy stimulus contributed to the drop," it said.

"The current conditions indicator – due to a rise in sentiment on current personal financial conditions -- rose in August. However, future expectations fell, led by weaker outlooks for future business conditions," it added.

"Sentiment on the real estate market improved in August, with consumers expecting higher housing prices ahead. This indicator has fluctuated in a broad range in recent months. Sentiment on the stock market improved modestly but remained net pessimistic," it said further.

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.
