Economic gravity shifting from West to East: DBS

The world is tilting in Asia’s favor, thanks to China.

Nobody thought the region would be a gamechanger prior to the 2008 global financial crisis but Asia is now leading the biggest structural change in global economics, at a rate making it difficult for a lot of other regions to keep up.

China’s economy is now as large as the US, and along with other countries in the region, has far surpassed demand creation in the biggest economy out west.

According to DBS, despite a slowdown in growth rates across the region, Asia will still “add a Germany” to the worldmap every 3.5 years. At this rate, Asia will add three Eurozones in a few years’ time.

The planned internationalisation of the RMB is also one threat to the dollar, and already China is the world’s largest trader.

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.
