Singapore's industrial production may have decelerated 5% in December

Moody's paints a gloomy scenario.

In its Asia-Pacific Preview report, Moody's Analytics predicts that while Singapore's industrial output improved in November, the effect likely faded in December, resulting in a 5% decline.

"Output is forecast to have fallen in year-on-year terms, partly because of a strong base effect from December 2011. Electronics production is still falling in year-on-year terms and biomedical output likely cooled after a strong November," added Moody's.

Singapore's actual December 2012 industrial production results will be released on January 25, 2013.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
