China's 2013 GDP growth predicted to hit 7.6%

More downside risks loom.

According to BofAML, 2Q13 GDP growth could be around 7.6%. BofAML fine-tunes 2Q13 GDP growth forecasts to 7.6% from 7.7%, but maintain annual GDP growth forecast at 7.6% in both 2013 and 2014 (as well as 3Q13 and 4Q13 forecasts at 7.6%).

"We do see more downside risks than before, but a downward revision of annual GDP growth is to us not justified yet for two reasons. First, the PBoC has already committed to ending the interbank liquidity squeeze and the State Council has come out asking for growth stability.

Second, we expect the deleveraging of small banks in coming months to have a limited impact on system-wide credit supply as big banks could fill the gap," BofAML said.

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.
