Vietnam's inflation rockets to a depressing 7%

Looks like its aggressive monetary easing isn't very effective.

According to BBVA Research, Vietnam's inflation in October edged up to 7.0% y/y (consensus: 6.8% y/y) after a 6.5% y/y outturn in September. "Vietnam's central bank has applied aggressive monetary easing during the year in order to prop growth (500 bps worth of interest rate cuts). Rising inflation is narrowing the room for further easing, despite the likelihood that growth will probably miss the government's target of 6% for this year," BBVA added.

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.
