Japan's exports slip -2.3%

Exports to Europe and China fell sharply causing Japan's first decline in four months.

Here's more from BBVA Research:

Japan's exports declined by -2.3% y/y (consensus: -3.0% y/y) in June, the first fall in four months, as exports to Europe fell sharply by -21.3% y/y, while exports to China fell -7.3% y/y. On the other hand, imports fell by -2.2% y/y (consensus: -1.2% y/y), thanks to the fall in oil prices. This decline in imports resulted in an unexpected trade surplus of 61.7 billion yen (equivalent to 789 million USD) for the month. Japan's economy, bolstered by the post quake reconstruction, has recovered at a quicker than expected pace in the first quarter. Looking ahead, however, the economy is likely to slow in H2 due to the weak global environment.

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.
