Australia retail sales edged up a measly 0.2%

But economic growth is still disappointing.

According to BBVA, retail sales rose by 0.2% m/m sa (consensus: 0.3%) from a March decline of -0.4%. Economic growth has decelerated with the winding down of the mining boom.

"The Reserve Bank of Australia, lowered interest rates to a historic low of 2.75% in May, for a cumulative 200 bps in easing since November 2011. We expect the RBA to stay on hold at its policy meeting tomorrow, as it digests the impact of these rate cuts. Q1 GDP growth is to be released on June 5th (consensus: 2.7% y/y; prior: 3.1%)," BBVA reported.

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.
