Economy worsens in Korea

This ups the chances of a rate cut at the upcoming central bank meeting.

DBS Group Research noted:

Economic data have worsened further over the past one month, boosting the chances of a rate cut at the central bank meeting this Thursday.

Industrial production shrank continuously in July and August, at a pace of over 1% on average per month. Even considering a V-shaped recovery in automobile production in September (after the labor strikes in August), industrial production may not be able to avoid a QoQ contraction in 3Q.

Meanwhile, manufacturing PMI fell to only 45.7 in September, dampening the hope of a rapid pickup in the overall industrial activity.

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.
