Are rising oil prices threatening China growth?

Not for the moment but there is caution building that international oil pressures could start dampening growth.

Here's more from BBVA:

China’s second fuel price increase for the year is a reminder of the latest headwinds to growth from rising international oil prices. Today’s increase amounts to a 7% rise in gasoline and diesel prices, on top of a 3% increase announced in early February. As much of China’s energy consumption is based on coal, which has not risen in tandem with oil prices, the fuel price hikes are expected to have only a limited impact on growth and inflation (petroleum products account for only 0.5% of the CPI basket).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
