Philippines' November exports to jump 32.2%

Will the growth trend be another choppy one?

According to DBS, a 32.2% YoY increase in exports has been penciled in. Base effects are largely to blame for the surge and exports are projected to be up by only 1% MoM.

Exports in level terms have been choppy over the few quarters, driven by volatility in the non-electronics manufactures component.

On balance, however, this component has been a key factor behind why exports have been holding up relatively well through 2012. Electronics exports, on the
other hand, have been lackluster for the most part of last year, but some tentative signs of rebound have appeared.

"Compared to the 2012 low of USD 1.6bn in April, electronics exports are now at USD 1.9bn in October. Any kind of boost from electronics will have a meaningful
impact on total exports especially if the non-electronics manufactures component remains resilient. In the near term, the recovery in electronics is likely to be uneven,
but overall external demand should get a boost from a cyclical recovery in China," DBS noted.

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.
