China's foreign direct investment inflows slide 6.8%

This is in conflict with positive macro readings.

According to BBVA Research, in China, FDI inflows decreased by -6.8% y/y in September, while total FDI inflows in Q3 further declined by -5.6% y/y from -3.0% y/y in the first half of 2012, as direct investment from the EU remained weak.

"While today’s data outturn was partially due to a base effect, it also indicated that external uncertainties are dampening investment in the world’s second largest economy. Today’s data was also at odds with the recent positive macro readings that signaled China’s growth momentum has bottomed out, and also conflicted with the recent appreciation of the RMB," BBVA Research noted.

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.
