Transportation inflation sharply eased to just 0.2%

Thanks to the big drag by private transport.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, transportation moderated sharply to just +0.2% YoY (July 2013: +1.7% YoY).

The biggest drag came from the Private Road Transport sub-component (Aug 2013: +0.1% YoY; July 2013: +2.0% YoY) which was affected by the bigger declines in COE premiums (Aug 2013: -17.9% YoY; July 2013: -6.3% YoY) following the high base from a year earlier.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

Separately, domestic fuel pump prices remained subdued (Aug 2013: +4.6% YoY; July 2013: +10.2% YoY) in tandem with the global crude oil price trend.

Crude oil price have eased this month as the threat of a US attack on Syria dissipated i.e. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude price fell from a one month’s high of USD110/bbl to about USD 104/bbl currently.

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.
