GDP growth forecast stands at 2.3% for 2012

Growth for the second quarter may be revised upwards due to the rise in June industrial production.

OCBC noted:

The Q2 GDP growth may be revised upwards to 2.3% yoy (0.8% qoqsaar) following the acceleration of June industrial production to 7.6% (3.9% mom), from the initial 1.9% (-1.1% qoqsaar). Our full-year GDP growth forecast remains at 2.3% for 2012 and 3.5% for 2013.

June CPI rose 5.3% yoy, up from 5% in May due to elevated housing costs. MAS narrowed its full year 2012 inflation forecast from 3.5 – 4.5% to 4.0-4.5%, but kept its core inflation forecast unchanged at 2.5-3%.

June NODX beat market expectations, expanding 6.8% yoy (+6.7% mom sa), up from May’s 3.2% yoy (-2.0% mom sa) readings.

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.
