Chart of the Day: Check out the rebound in Singapore's manufacturing output

It expanded by 7.9% for the first two months of the year.

Recovery in the external outlook is showing up in Singapore's manufacturing momentum, as it rebounded strongly in 4Q16.

The industrial production index for the first two months of the year rose 7.9%. Whilst it was a slight moderation from 4Q16's 11.7% growth, it still suggests hope for the economy's near-term outlook.

The slight moderation was due to the volatile pharmaceutical and biomedical cluster, which contracted 8% YoY for the first two months following the 29% expansion in 4Q16.

Meanwhile, the electronic manufacturing cluster, which is the other key driver of the manufacturing resurgence in 4Q16, continued to grow strongly at 30.1% YoY over January-February 2017, on the back of semiconductors.

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.
