China growth picking up steam

October data point to improving growth momentum.

According to BBVA, the release of October activity indicators over the weekened provided further evidence of a pickup in growth.

"Fixed asset investment, retail sales, and industrial production all rose from the previous month, by slightly more than expected. Property sales and real estate investment also picked up in October. The data come after an encouraging set of indicators in September, and last week’s release of the official PMI, which rose back to above the 50 threshold for the first time in 3 months," BBVA said.

"At the same time, October CPI inflation released today came in below expectations at 1.7% y/y (BBVA: 2.0%; consensus: 1.9%) on moderating food prices. We see room for further policy easing in the coming months, especially after the ongoing leadership transition is completed," it added.

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.
