Economy worsens in Korea

This ups the chances of a rate cut at the upcoming central bank meeting.

DBS Group Research noted:

Economic data have worsened further over the past one month, boosting the chances of a rate cut at the central bank meeting this Thursday.

Industrial production shrank continuously in July and August, at a pace of over 1% on average per month. Even considering a V-shaped recovery in automobile production in September (after the labor strikes in August), industrial production may not be able to avoid a QoQ contraction in 3Q.

Meanwhile, manufacturing PMI fell to only 45.7 in September, dampening the hope of a rapid pickup in the overall industrial activity.

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.
