Vietnam inflation rockets to 6.5%

This sharp increase is the country's first upturn in over a year.

According to BBVA Research, Vietnam’s inflation increased to 6.5% y/y in September (consensus: 5.2% y/y) from 5.0% in August, the first upturn in over a year. Until now, inflation had fallen steadily from a peak of 23% y/y in August 2011.

"If inflation were to rise in the coming months, it would further limit the central bank’s room to cut interest rates to support a slowing economy. The central bank has already lowered rates by 500bps this year, most recently in early July. We expect interest rates to remain on hold for the near-term, while inflation is likely to rise," BBVA noted.

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.
