Non-oil domestic export growth to slip further amid weak global economy

PMI dipped into the red after 2 months of expansion.

The headline number for December 2014 is likely to report a benign increase of just 0.6% YoY, compared to 1.6% previously.

According to a report by DBS, non-oil domestic export growth for Dec14 is expected to moderate. On the margin, sales probably rose by about 2.0% MoM sa, also slower than the 2.9% expansion registered in the previous month.

DBS says that a worse than expected outcome should not come as a surprise. Latest Dec14 PMI dipped into the red after two consecutive months of expansion. The headline number recorded 49.6, down from 51.8 in the previous month and 51.9 in October. Any reading below 50 represents a contraction and vice-versa.

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.
