Malaysia manufacturing grows 5.2%

It’s a rebound from the 1.1% yoy contraction in August.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

No surprise from the BNM in holding its key OPR unchanged at 3.0% late on Thursday and the central bank reiterated its stance that the sustained expansion in the domestic activity has offset the weakness in external demand and this is likely to be the same background going into 2013.

Meanwhile, September IPI growth came in better than expected at 4.9% yoy, driven by a rebound in the manufacturing component, which posted a 5.2% yoy growth following the 1.1% yoy contraction in August.

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.
