Electronics PMI may have dropped to 50.4 in June

Standard Chartered also expects Singapore's PMI to have eased to 50.3 in July.

Here’s more from Standard Chartered

We expect Singapore’s purchasing managers index to have eased slightly to 50.3 in July from 50.4 in June. The electronics index also probably dropped to 50.4 from 50.9 in June. Overall market sentiment remains negative owing to the euro-area debt debacle. Export data has also remained weak, with total trade contracting by 3.7% m/m in June. The weak PMI readings are likely to underline the current weakness in Singapore’s manufacturing sector. Indeed, June’s industrial production showed continued weakness in electronics output, which contracted by 15.3% y/y.

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.
