Malaysia's industrial production jumped 5.8% yoy in October

It's a sign of resilience, says BBVA.

According to the latest official data release, Malaysia's industrial production index in October grew by 5.8% y/y (consensus: 2.0% y/y) from a revised 5.0% y/y increase in September. BBVA notes that electricity and manufacturing production both held up well (growing by 4.4% y/y and 5.8% y/y), and mining, which has been the weakest of the three throughout the year, grew by 6.1% y/y.

"The outturn was welcome news after the report of a -3.2% y/y contraction in October exports last week, and is further evidence of the resilience of growth in ASEAN economies," 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.
