Chart of the Day: Singapore's exports to top 10 markets recover

Only exports in Hong Kong declined.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) to the top 10 markets expanded in May, as this chart from IE Singapore shows.

The largest contributors to the increase in NODX were China, South Korea, and the EU 28.

NODX to China expanded by 36.4% in May 2017, following the previous month’s growth of 10.9%, led by non-monetary gold (+139.8%), ICs (+62.6%) and petrochemicals (+35.2%).

Meanwhile, NODX to South Korea rose by 64.3% in May 2017, after the 56.9% growth in the preceding month, due to specialised machinery (+595.0%), measuring instruments (+195.3%) and PCs (+56.6%).

On the other hand, NODX to the EU 28 increased by 16.2% in May 2017, after declining by 36.0% in April 2017, due to pharmaceuticals (+8.3%), specialised machinery (+137.7%) and measuring instruments (+45.3%).

Only exports in Hong Kong declined.

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.
