Japan at risk of entering 3rd technical recession

The country has downgraded its economic assessment for a fourth month.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Japan has downgraded its economic assessment for a fourth month, citing “weakness recently due to the deceleration of the world economy” and “attention should be paid to employment and income situations in the future, and the adverse effects of deflation on the economy”.

Uncertainties abound as PM Noda is dissolving parliament today for a general election on 16 Dec which polls suggest he will lose. The Japanese economy is at risk of entering its third technical recession defined as two straight quarters of contraction since 2008.

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.
