Japan industrial output dropped 1.2%

Blame it on exports demand from China and Europe falling sharply.

According to BBVA Research, Japan’s industrial production dropped unexpectedly in July by -1.2% y/y from a +0.4% y/y gain in June, as external demand fell sharply, particularly from China and Europe.

Here's more from BBVA:

Meanwhile, Japan’s PMI, released yesterday, points to further weakening in the economy, falling to 47.7 in August from 47.9 in July. Separately, today’s data also showed that consumer prices slid at a faster pace in July, by -0.4% y/y (consensus: -0.3% y/y) from -0.2% y/y in June. The Bank of Japan is under growing pressure to ease monetary policy to support a stalling recovery.

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.
