Chart of the Day: Electronics sector expanded in April

It was the 3rd consecutive month of expansion for the sector.

The Singapore Institute of Purchasing & Materials Management reported:

In the electronics sector, the index posted a further expansion at 51.5, which was an increase of 0.5 point over the previous month. It was the 3rd consecutive month of expansion for the sector.

The increase in the electronics PMI was due to a further expansion in new orders from overseas and domestic markets. Whilst production output, imports and employment continued to expand, inventory and stockholdings of finished goods continued to contract.

Electronics input prices reverted to contraction after having moderated in the previous month.

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.
