India's HSBC manufacturing PMI in May dropped to 50.1

But export orders rose to 54.

According to BBVA, India's HSBC manufacturing PMI fell in May to 50.1 from 51 in April, its lowest since March 2009 led by continued slowdown in output and new orders.

BBVA also said that reassuringly, gradually improving global growth prospects boosted new export orders (54 vs 51.1 in April) while input and output prices eased, which leaves room for the RBI to address growth concerns.

"We expect the RBI to ease rates by 25 bps at its June 17th meeting, which would probably be the last rate cut for 2013," 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.
