South Korean exit polls show Park Geun-hye likely to win over Moon Jae-in

But whoever wins, one thing is certain about fiscal policies.

According to Nomura, presidential election exit polls in South Korea show that Ms Park Geun-hye of the ruling conservative party is likely to win over Mr Moon Jae-in of the opposition liberal party – but the difference between their estimated votes falls within the range of statistical error.

Whoever wins, Nomura believes the new government's fiscal policies will look to mitigate income inequality.

Here’s more from Nomura:

We see a chance of a supplementary budget, which provides upside risks to our below-consensus 2.5% GDP growth forecast for 2013. We do not expect much change to monetary, FX, or financial policies from the current stance, focusing on the current account surplus. We do not see any meaningful impact on the FX or rates markets in the near term.

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.
