Philippine exports spike 22.8% in September

This breaks two straight months of weakness.

Here's more from BBVA:

Exports rose by a much better-than-expected 22.8% y/y (consensus: 4.6% y/y) in September on strong Asian demand – particularly from Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong – in the latest sign that regional momentum may be stabilizing (despite yesterday’s disappointing Q3 growth outturn in Japan).

The Philippines’ economy, which grew by 5.9% y/y in the second quarter, was thought to be under some pressure recently after two weak months of exports data in June and July, and after policymakers decided to support the economy by cutting interest rates to a record-low 3.5% at the end of last month.

However, today’s outturn provides a positive boost to sentiment, and makes it more likely that the Philippines will reach our growth forecast of 5.5% for this year.

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.
