“While inflation growth looks to have peaked, current interest rates are expected to remain elevated moving ahead. With political tensions between China and the US continuing and global growth weak, the Group expects overall trading volumes to remain muted,” it said.

The company’s interest income surged by 137.2% to $132m due to the high-interest environment, whilst its operating income slightly rose to $16m from $15.4m.

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.
