South Korea’s export growth to soar by 17.6% in January

A decent rebound from last December’s decline.

According to Nomura, the continued improvement in foreign demand should support Korea's underlying exports in the coming months. It maintains its call for no more rate cuts in 2013.

“We now forecast Korea’s exports (USD custom basis) to surge by 17.6% y-o-y in January after a 5.5% in decline in December. The Lunar New Year fell in January in 2012, but this year’s one is in February. As a result, this year January has more working days (24 days) than last year (22 days).”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
