India export growth slumps 9.7%

This is following a 14.8% contraction in July.

According to Nomura, India‟s exports contracted for the fourth straight month, by 9.7% y-o-y in August, following a 14.8% contraction in July.

Here's more from Nomura:

Imports contracted 5.1% y-o-y in August after a 7.6% decline in July. With exports falling more than imports, the trade deficit widened to USD15.7bn in August from USD15.5bn in July.

We expect India‟s current account deficit to narrow to 3.2% of GDP in FY13 (year ending March 2013) from 4.2% of GDP in FY12, but still remaining above the sustainable levels of around 2.5% of GDP, as weak external demand and higher oil prices are partly offsetting the benefits from a weaker currency.

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.
