According to BBVA Research, inflation in the Philippines reached the lowest level since Sept 2009 at 2.5% y/y in July (consensus: 2.9%), and below the central bank's target of 3~5%.

Despite the weakening currency (the peso has depreciated by 6.2% against the US dollar this year), price pressures remain contained and growth momentum is still robust (1Q GDP: 7.8% y/y, the fastest in Asia).

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.
