Chinese consumer sentiment crashes in August

MNI's China Consumer Sentiment Indicator falls to year-low level of 90.4.

MNI said the deteriorating indicator, which has slid from its June peak of 101.6 and July's 90.9, can be viewed as a negative response to ecconomic slowdown.

"Sluggish July economic data and a lack of new government policy stimulus contributed to the drop," it said.

"The current conditions indicator – due to a rise in sentiment on current personal financial conditions -- rose in August. However, future expectations fell, led by weaker outlooks for future business conditions," it added.

"Sentiment on the real estate market improved in August, with consumers expecting higher housing prices ahead. This indicator has fluctuated in a broad range in recent months. Sentiment on the stock market improved modestly but remained net pessimistic," it said further.

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.
