Korea to benefit from China's recovery

Industrial production is forecast to rise.

DBS Group Research noted:

October industrial production (tomorrow) is projected to rise 1% MoM sa, marking a positive MoM growth for the second consecutive month (0.8% in September). Export growth has turned positive, rising 1.1% YoY in October. Based on the preliminary data, export growth accelerated to 1.7% YoY in the first 20 days of November.

Meanwhile, on the supply side, production in the automobile sector, which was dragged down by the labor strikes this summer, has started to pick up since September. A steady recovery in the automobile sector has been sustained in October, as revealed by the industry data from the KAMA.

We maintain the view that GDP growth has bottomed in 3Q and will return to a recovery path from 4Q onwards. Korea will benefit from China’s recovery, due to the close trade connections with China, and the trade substitute effects resulting from the China-Japan tensions.

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.
