Check out this graph showing Korea's 36-year low share of investment

Plus a record-high share of exports in GDP.

According to Nomura, the Bank of Korea revised its Q3 GDP estimate down to 0.1% (sa) q-o-q from the advanced estimate of 0.2%.

Here's more from Nomura:

What we found most interesting was the record-high share of exports in GDP (57.3% for the first nine months of 2012) and the 36-year low share of investment (26.5%).

The share of private consumption in GDP rose to 53.9% in 2012 from 52.9% in 2011, but was still below the share of exports.

Regardless of who wins the presidential election on 19 December, we do not expect the Korean economy to rebalance away from exports and toward domestic demand due to structural factors (i.e., Korea‟s small population limits its domestic demand potential, KRW is not a reserve currency and Korea‟s urbanization rate reaches over 80%).

We believe that exports will continue to be the key growth driver for Korea

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.
