Taiwan exports take a beating in February

15% yoy decline suggests demand slowdown.

Here's more from BBVA:

Taiwan’s exports declined by 15.8% y/y in February, below market expectations (consensus: -8.1% y/y). However, taking a look at the first two months of 2013 combined, exports rose by 2.0% y/y, indicating that external demand, while weakening, is relatively stable. Intra-regional exports are a growing source of demand, especially from China & Hong Kong (4.3%) and ASEAN (6.9%). Demand from the Europe and US improved, but still remained weak. Recent improvement in business and consumer sentiment should bode well for further economic recovery, albeit at a mild pace.

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.
