Taiwan's industrial production dips 3.28%

On the back of weak manufacturing.

According to BBVA, industrial production fell by -3.28% y/y (consensus: +1.8% y/y) on weak manufacturing, especially in the machinery and automobiles & auto parts sectors.

BBVA also said that on a sequential basis after seasonal adjustment, first quarter IP declined by -0.97% q/q sa from Q4 2012. Meanwhile Export orders in March, which was released yesterday, declined by -6.6% y/y (consensus: +1.9% y/y), on weak demand from advanced economies, which was only partially offset by continued growth from the ASEAN market.

"The softness of Taiwan’s growth momentum puts our 3.5% full-year growth projection at some risk," BBVA said.

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.
