Manufacturing index up 0.5 points in February

Compared with January 2010, Singapore's Purchasing Managers' Index expanded and was at 51.9 points in the previous month.

The tenth straight month of growth is attributed to higher new orders, including those for export, and production output.

Although stocks of imports and finished goods saw contraction, there was continued expansion in inventory and employment.

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.
