Korea's industrial production slipped -2.1% in September

Growth momentum slightly affected.

According to BBVA Research, after registering better-than-expected Q3 GDP growth (1.1% q/q s.a.; 3.3% y/y), Korea's growth momentum appears to have slowed in September, with a disappointing industrial production outturn of -2.1% m/m s.a. (consensus: -0.4% m/m; prior: 1.6%).

Although part of the decline is due to strikes at auto factories and fewer working days due to holidays, the outturn coincides with a moderating trend in China’s September activity data and is a reminder of the headwinds facing Asian growth momentum.

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.
