Korea's GDP accelerated to 1.5%

Thanks to strong inventories and consumption.

According to UBS, Korea's 4Q GDP accelerated to 1.5%q/q SAAR. Most of the acceleration came from inventories and a pickup in consumption in response to temporary tax incentives that were to expire by year end. UBS expects GDP to improve modestly to 2.8% versus the government’s advanced estimate of  2.0% for 2012.

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.
