Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Fields were the most productive as they posted a growth of 8.4%. On the expenditure side, the Government Consumption Consumption component rose by 29.4%.

Standard Chartered senior economist Aldian Taloputra commented, "We expect growth to pick up in H2 on a normalisation in the number of working days, stable inflation, progress on infrastructure projects, fiscal expansion, and still relatively strong exports. Some forward-looking indicators point to a positive trend in H2, including rising consumer confidence, stabilising loan approvals and healthy VAT receipts."

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.
