Taiwan industrial production inched higher by 1.9%

But the current pressure from China's slowing economy will keep Taiwan's outlook threatened.

According to BBVA Research, industrial production for August rose by 1.9% y/y (consensus: -0.6% y/y) on increasing mining and manufacturing production.

"Looking ahead, the ongoing slowdown in China will likely keep Taiwan’s IP outlook under pressure. Despite slowing growth, Taiwan’s policymakers kept interest rates on hold last week, after inflation rose sharply to 3.4% in August from 2.5% y/y in July. Also today, Taiwan reported unemployment of 4.29% for August, up marginally from 4.25% for July," BBVA Reseach said.

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.
