Chart of the Day: Singapore industrial production

In case you’re confused about the figures, DBS provides enlightenment.

DBS Group Research said:

The consensus on February IP was that it was “disappointing”, “lacklustre”, and did not point to better external conditions. Sector-wise, headlines reported that electronics was the culprit, “down” as it was by 6% in year-on-year terms.

Ah, year-on-year terms. Here we go again. Yes, electronics was down by 6% compared to February of last year. But it jumped by 16% compared to January, seasonally adjusted, and is now a total of 25% off its November bottom (chart below). No evidence of a turnaround? Really? In 3 short months, electronics has recouped more than half of the drop it experienced in 2H11!

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.
