Chart of the Day: Check out Singapore's PMI progress versus Asian peers

Good news is that it's still above 50.

According to CIMB, PMI readings from the various parts of the world are still being released. So far, it suggests a weaker picture for global manufacturing.

CIMB also said that in Asia, while PMIs for Japan and South Korea rose last month, the readings for China, Taiwan and Singapore eased. Japan’s PMI rose 0.7 pt to 51.1, matching its previous high in Mar 12, while South Korea added another 0.6 pt to a 3-year high of 52.6.

"However, the PMI for China, Taiwan and Singapore fell 0.3 pt, 0.5 pt and 0.3 pt, respectively. Although lower, the overall PMI readings for China (50.6), Taiwan
(50.7) and Singapore (50.3) are still just above 50, indicating modest expansion," CIMB 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.
