Vietnam's inflation rockets to a depressing 7%

Looks like its aggressive monetary easing isn't very effective.

According to BBVA Research, Vietnam's inflation in October edged up to 7.0% y/y (consensus: 6.8% y/y) after a 6.5% y/y outturn in September. "Vietnam's central bank has applied aggressive monetary easing during the year in order to prop growth (500 bps worth of interest rate cuts). Rising inflation is narrowing the room for further easing, despite the likelihood that growth will probably miss the government's target of 6% for this year," BBVA added.

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.
