India inflation hits double digits in August

Rising food prices pushed CPI inflation to 10%.

According to BBVA, India's CPI inflation edged higher to 10.0%y/y in August from 9.9% in July, driven by rising food prices. Last week, the more closely watched benchmark WPI inflation outturn for August showed a jump in inflation to 7.6% y/y from 6.9% previously, suggesting persistent price pressures, particularly with respect to commodities.

"Even after the RBI’s decision yesterday to leave interest rates unchanged in view of the persistent inflationary pressures, we still expect another 50 bps of interest rate cuts over the rest of 2012 amid rising growth concerns and recent positive steps toward policy reforms," BBVA said.

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.
