Korea to benefit from China's recovery

Industrial production is forecast to rise.

DBS Group Research noted:

October industrial production (tomorrow) is projected to rise 1% MoM sa, marking a positive MoM growth for the second consecutive month (0.8% in September). Export growth has turned positive, rising 1.1% YoY in October. Based on the preliminary data, export growth accelerated to 1.7% YoY in the first 20 days of November.

Meanwhile, on the supply side, production in the automobile sector, which was dragged down by the labor strikes this summer, has started to pick up since September. A steady recovery in the automobile sector has been sustained in October, as revealed by the industry data from the KAMA.

We maintain the view that GDP growth has bottomed in 3Q and will return to a recovery path from 4Q onwards. Korea will benefit from China’s recovery, due to the close trade connections with China, and the trade substitute effects resulting from the China-Japan tensions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
