Indonesia and Thailand to lead growth in Southeast Asia: HSBC

This as one of the two countries bounces back from a natural disaster.

HSBC Global Research said:

Southeast Asia will keep its stride. Indonesia and Thailand will lead growth, the former sustaining its now customary momentum, the latter bouncing back from a natural disaster.

Malaysia and the Philippines, too, will stand firm, though weak exports will affect them more. Fiscal spending across ASEAN should provide welcome support, helping to boost investment.

Meanwhile, Korea and Taiwan will feel the headwinds of tired Western consumers, even if both should avoid a recession. Singapore, too, will struggle a little, being exposed to both trade and finance, something that will also weigh on Hong Kong, even if here, at least, visitors from the Mainland will keep up traffic in the restaurants.

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.
