Japan unveils fresh fiscal stimulus

0.1% GDP stimulus "larger-than-expected," says BBVA.

"Japan's government approved a larger-than-expected, although still modest, fiscal stimulus package of subsidies and grants worth 0.1% of GDP to help offset an expected economic contraction in the second half of this year. The package will be financed with funds in the budget reserve to avoid new debt issuance given Japan’s extremely high public debt level," said BBVA.

BBVA further noted how Japan's inflation fell for a fifth straight month, by -0.3% y/y (consensus: -0.4% y/y) in September, which force the hand of Japan's central bank to act this month.

"Persistent deflation is adding to pressure on the BoJ to ease policy further at its next policy meeting on October 30, given its 1% inflation target," said BBVA.

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.
