Export growth to slow down to 9.4% in November: Moody's

Electronics exports have been on a decline since May.

Singapore’s exports likely grew 9.4% YoY in November, after surging 20.9% in the prior month, according to a forecast by Moody’s Analytics.

October’s surge was driven by a 28.5% increase in non-electronic exports, whilst electronic exports grew just 4.5%.

Electronic exports have slowed noticeably since May, whilst non-electronic exports have picked up since the middle of this year.

However, even as overall electronic exports have softened, the demand for integrated circuits, disk media, and PCs has remained strong.

Moody's Analytics economist Katrina Ell said, "Although external demand is likely to remain firm, a high base from a year earlier is likely to inhibit export growth in coming months."

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.
