Japan industrial output dips 0.1%

This fall is following the 3.4% drop in May resulting to three straight month of losses.

According to Moody's, Japanese industrial production unexpectedly declined in June, extending losses for a third straight month. Output fell 0.1% in June, after dropping 3.4% in May. As expected, the boost from autos is fading as sales to the U.S. weaken.

"The electronics industry is performing sluggishly, as semiconductor output dragged on the headline print. Electronics parts and devices and IT equipment output will rise in July according to production schedules. This is a disappointing result."

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.
