Chart of the Day: Recent data point to tech & manufacturing sector bottoming out

Downside risks however remain, cautions OCBC.

Recent industry data have provided optimism that conditions in the technology and manufacturing sector may have bottomed out.

Singapore’s electronics exports increased at an encouraging 3.9% YoY for the combined months of Jan and Feb this year.

The electronics PMI also expanded for a second consecutive month in Feb, registering a reading of 51. Similarly, China’s manufacturing PMI grew to 53.1 in Mar, exceeding market expectations and registering its highest reading since Mar 2011.

Nevertheless, OCBC notes that downside risks still exist in the global economy.

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.
