When young debtors borrow without knowing the interest rates
An alarming number of Chinese consumers are already defaulting on their debt.
China is a nation of savers. The Chinese government wants its people to spend more and save less. It also wants them to take on more debt, all for the sake of saving the economy from a four-year slump.
The national financial regulator urged banks in March to expand consumer lending and offer more flexible repayment terms. In July, policymakers promised to provide 'innovative' financial services to boost consumption.

Prabowo touts progress on key social programmes to drive growth
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto rose to power in 2024 in his third presidential bid. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto used his first State of the Nation address to take a victory lap on the social programmes he believes will drive growth in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. 'Our goal of independence is to be free from poverty, free from hunger, free from suffering,' Mr Prabowo told lawmakers on Aug 15. 'Our country must be able to stand on its own feet. Our country must be sovereign in economy and able to meet our own food needs.' Mr Prabowo rose to power in 2024 in his third presidential bid, defeating rivals in a landslide win on promises to carry forward the policies of his predecessor, Mr Joko Widodo. But while Mr Widodo's decade in office was defined by massive infrastructure projects, Mr Prabowo has made welfare and social programs the centerpiece of his growth strategy. The achievements he touted include faster-than-expected economic growth and 20 million people receiving food under his signature free meals program, as well as cracking down on corruption and cutting unnecessary spending. The stock-taking comes at an opportune moment for the president of one of the world's most populous nations 10 months into his tenure. Indonesia's economy surprised analysts last week with its fastest quarterly growth in two years, while the stock market this week hit a new high, part of a broader rally across global markets that's been driven in Indonesia largely by domestic investors. A weaker dollar, meanwhile, has helped the rupiah strengthen about 5 per cent since hitting an all-time low against the greenback in April. Mr Prabowo is scheduled to unveil a draft budget for 2026 when he speaks to lawmakers again in the afternoon. Investors will be watching closely to see whether he moves to raise deficit spending, which of his programs will take priority and what he plans for defense spending as he seeks to modernise Southeast Asia's largest military.

Chinese steel and coal output drop as supply pressures mount
[BEIJING] Chinese steel and coal output fell in July, as bad weather affected operations and the government's efforts to rein in overcapacity intensified. Both industries are in the crosshairs of Beijing's campaign to control supply and halt ruinous competition, which has taken on much greater urgency as deflationary pressures mount in the economy. Steel production dropped 4 per cent year on year to less than 80 million tonnes, its lowest this year and a third monthly decline in a row. The fall was less steep than in May and June, however, as reduced supply helped lift margins. Still, output over the first seven months has fallen 3.1 per cent from last year to its weakest level since 2020. Coal output fell 3.8 per cent to just over 380 million tonnes, marking its first year-on-year decline in over a year, although production for the first seven months was still at record levels. While industrial demand for commodities is in a seasonal lull, the weather was also a factor in lowering production, as scorching temperatures and heavy rains forced mines, factories and building sites to curtail activity up and down the country. The coal hubs of northern China, in particular, were heavily affected by downpours that closed pits and disrupted transport. The coal industry is also contending with government inspections targeting mines that produce above permitted levels. Meanwhile, pollution curbs to ensure blue skies for next month's military parade in Beijing are likely to keep the pressure on steel output, a large proportion of which is clustered around the capital.

Sign Up Sign Up Thermal coal producers are shielded from swingeing cuts to production due to the country's reliance on the fuel for power generation, which has spiked over the summer as temperatures have soared. But the steel industry, and the miners that deliver coking coal for its blast furnaces, have much less protection. Property collapse The collapse in China's property market has stripped back a key pillar of demand. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that excess steel capacity last year was 142 million tonnes, almost four times the level in 2020. A boom in exports has taken up some of the slack, but rising protectionism around the world is likely to cap sales. Among other building materials, both cement and glass production continued to fall sharply. Aluminium output stayed elevated as profits at smelters rose due to the drop in alumina costs. For fossil fuels, refining restarts after maintenance and improved margins saw crude oil processing rise 8.9 per cent year on year. Oil and gas output continued to rise in line with the government's energy security goals. BLOOMBERG

ST Engineering price targets raised by analysts after strong H1 net profit
[SINGAPORE] The price target for ST Engineering was raised by multiple analysts on Friday (Aug 15) after it reported a strong financial performance in the first half of 2025. CGS International's Lim Siew Khee raised her price target to S$8.70 from S$8.40; RHB analyst Shekhar Jaiswal upped his to S$9.10 from S$8.70. Morningstar's Lorraine Tan, director of equity research for Asia, raised the engineering group's fair-value estimate by 21 per cent to S$8.10. On Thursday (Aug 14), the company reported a 19.7 per cent rise in net profit to S$402.8 million for the first half of 2025, up from S$336.5 million in the corresponding period of the year before. This was driven largely by revenue growth from its commercial aerospace as well as its defence and public security business segments, despite drag from the US tariffs and foreign currency exchange. The counter dropped 6.3 per cent to S$8.40 at the close on Thursday, with 13.3 million shares having changed hands. It had closed at an all-time high the previous day at S$8.96. Tan had said that the drop could be due to 'overheated sentiment in the defence sector'. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up RHB's Jaiswal said that ST Engineering's defence and public security (DPS) margins exceeded expectations. He added that a record-high order book and solid revenue visibility, underpinned by growth in the commercial aerospace and DPS units, expanding international defence orders and minimal exposure to the US trade tariffs, reinforced the investment case in its stock. The limited impact of US tariffs on ST Engineering was also flagged as a positive by Lim, who pointed out that the group had maintained plans to not absorb its suppliers' tariff costs unless it was able to pass through such costs. The group also lowered its guidance for the impact of the US tariffs on engine maintenance and repair operations (MRO) in China to S$34 million for the second quarter, from its previous less-precise estimate of under S$40 million a month. ST Engineering opened a new MRO facility in Ezhou, in China's Hubei province, on Aug 11, under its joint venture with SF Airlines, a Chinese cargo airline owned by SF Express, a logistics company. CGS International's Lim and Morningstar's Tan lauded the group's efforts at cost-cutting: it had slashed S$100 million in costs in the first quarter of 2025 alone. Tan said Morningstar had 'underestimated STE's ability to lower costs this quickly'. 'We believe the market will reward STE for hiving off low-margin/loss-making businesses,' said Lim. Tan echoed the sentiment, adding that the company is on track to meet its S$1 billion cost-saving target through 2029. However, CGS International downgraded ST Engineering to a 'hold' on the back of it trading at three standard deviations above its historical average. Lim said the market appears to have priced in the 2026 growth forecast of a 13 per cent growth in earnings per share. She also noted that the company faces some downside risk from slower order wins. Tan suggested that the easing of growth in defence sales in the second half could have come from a strong base effect. 'We think the key risk remains STE's ability to keep on the profitability path,' she said. RHB kept its rating at 'buy', and raised its 2026-2027 earnings forecast by 3 to 4 per cent on sustained commercial aerospace and DPS margins, with the price target including a 4 per cent environmental, social and governance premium. CGS International estimates a 2 to 5 per cent lift in earnings per share, based on lower financing costs and higher commercial aerospace segment margins.
