Standard Chartered senior economist Aldian Taloputra commented, "We expect growth to pick up in H2 on a normalisation in the number of working days, stable inflation, progress on infrastructure projects, fiscal expansion, and still relatively strong exports. Some forward-looking indicators point to a positive trend in H2, including rising consumer confidence, stabilising loan approvals and healthy VAT receipts."

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.
