Japan core machinery orders dip 3.3% in August

Perfect storm of economic and political factors led to renewed contraction.

Japan's core machinery orders fell -3.3% m/m amid a consensus of -2.5% m/m in August, the first decline in three months, noted BBVA.

"The worse-than-expected data points to a stalling economy, which has been undermined by the global slowdown, the strong yen, and more recently the deteriorating relationship with China due to the island dispute," said BBVA.

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.
