World economy will grow a paltry 2.7% in 2012

Onslaught of corporate insolvencies also predicted by Euler Hermes.

The credit insurer said the struggling Euro zone will lead the global decline with shockwarve effects reverberating across the Asia Pacific region.

"World economic growth is forecast to slow to 2.7% in 2012, from 3% in 2011, as growth in emerging countries runs out of steam and the ‘submerged’ countries sink further into the mire," said Euler Hermes in a release.

"Corporate insolvencies were still declining (down 3%) at world level in 2011. In 2012, Twenty-five of the thirty-three countries reviewed are expected to move into the red in 2012, with European countries topping the list, particularly those of the Mediterranean region (up by 19%) which have been severely weakened by the present crisis," it added.

"Corporate insolvencies will continue to decline in the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region but with a clear change of pace, with decreases of respectively 7% and 1% in 2012 compared with 12% and 5% in 2011. The reason is the much weaker growth outlook," it read further.

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.
