Inflation forecast at 3.8% for 2011:OCBC

The lower-than-expected February inflation does not affect OCBC's inflation forecast for this year.

Consumer prices appear to have stabilized in Feb, but the crude oil price and Japanese disaster situation still warrants close monitoring. AVA has suspended food imports from areas in Japan where radioactivity was detected in some food products.

OCBC also expected an inflation overshoot in H1.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
