Short circuit: Electronics production falls every month since April

The electronics sector slumped 18.2% year-on-year in July.

And according to Standard Chartered, August PMI is likely to fall amid market turmoil.

Here’s more from StanChart:

Given the recent market turmoil and the poor H1 growth performance in the US, the August PMI reading probably deteriorated further. We expect the main PMI reading to have fallen to 48.9 from 49.3, and the electronics-sector index to have declined to 48.6 from 49.5.

The electronics sector remains in the doldrums – electronics production contracted 18.2% y/y in July and has fallen on a y/y basis every month since April (except for May, when it was flat). July industrial production data showed that most sectors grew at a slower pace, adding to concerns about growth.

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.
