Taiwan industrial production pegged to nudge higher to 4%

Export orders growth has started to rebound.

According to DBS, industrial production for October and the final estimate of the 3Q GDP are due today. Industrial production growth is expected to rise to around 4% YoY, up from 3.0% in the previous month.

Here's more from DBS:

Export orders growth has picked up further to 3.2% YoY in October after turning positive in September (1.9%). This corroborates our view of a modest recovery in exports and manufacturing growth, on the back of recovering demand from mainland China.

The 3Q GDP growth should be fairly close to the preliminary estimate of 1.0% YoY. The statistics agency has revised down the annual growth forecast for seven times so far this year when announcing the quarterly GDP estimates.

As the economy has showed some nascent signs of recovery since September, as reflected in the key data including export orders, exports and industrial production, a further downgrade in the official growth forecasts (1.05% for 2012 and 3.09% for 2013) could be averted this time.

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.
