Manufacturing PMI rose 1.8 points in February 2011

After retreating for the last two months, manufacturing PMI rose to 52.3.

According to OCBC, PMI was boosted by the pick-up in new export orders (+1 point to 51.1 into expansion territory again), as well as higher overall new orders, production and inventory gauges. The employment and order backlog gauge also both crossed back into expansion territory at 52.5 (+3.1 points) and 54.1 (+6.1 points) respectively, while the input price index surged 2.1 points to 54.7.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
