Remittances to anchor current account balance

Full-year numbers set to hit a record-high USD24b.

November overseas foreign workers (OFW) remittances are due this Friday.

According to a report by DBS, another strong showing is expected at 6.9% YoY, with full-year remittances set to hit a record-high USD24b in 2014.

After adjusting for seasonal effects, OFW remittances are expected to continue averaging about USD 2bn in the early part of 2015.

Strong inflows of remittances will continue to ensure that the current account remains in surplus. Current account surplus is likely to remain circa 2% of GDP in 2015, decent enough to limit any external liquidity risk for now.

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.
