Philippines import growth surge 13.3%

But inflation may spike to as much as 3.8% due to nasty weather conditions.

According to OCBC, import growth rose to 13.3% yoy in June from 10.1% previously, driven by a slight rebound in electronics imports and also a jump in capital goods demand. Note that the Q2 GDP data is due later this week.

Meanwhile, BSP Governor Tetangco said that inflation is likely to come in near the bottom of the 3-5% target for the year even if it may spike to as much as 3.8% in August because of the floods. He added that the PHP may weaken amidst the floods.

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.
