GDP growth forecast pegged at 2.3% for 2012

Analysts are waiting to see is if the Chinese growth slowdown and Eurozone debt crisis stabilize by the fourth quarter.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

The revised Q2 GDP growth may be revised up to higher to 2.3% yoy (0.8% qoq saar). Our full-year GDP growth forecast remains at 2.3% for 2012 and 3.5% for 2013.

What we are waiting to see is if the Chinese growth slowdown and Eurozone debt crisis stabilize by Q4, and also whether the domestic manufacturing and services momentum will dip further in Q3 should market confidence unwind further.

The market assumption is that monetary policy support will be forthcoming, but that may run out of steam if FOMC and ECB don’t deliver by September.

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.
