Vietnam's April inflation dipped to 6.61%

It's the lowest since September 2012.

According to BBVA, April inflation edged down to 6.61% y/y (consensus: 6.95%) from 6.64% in March, the lowest level since last September.

It also added in its report that the State Bank of Vietnam cut policy rates last month as the economy expanded at a slower pace of 4.9% in Q1, dragged down by the contracted bank lending which dented business expansion and household spending. "Looking ahead, we expect another rate cut in the second half of this year and a full-year GDP growth at 5.5% in 2013," BBVA said.

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.
