Singapore NODX strength faces regional pressure

A prevailing weakness in regional trade could hamper the country's suprisingly robust non-oil domestic exports, says BofAML.

"Singapore’s June non-oil domestic exports came in better than expected, increasing by 6.8% yoy," said Bank of America Merrill Lynch in its Global Economic Weekly report after official NODX nudged up 6.8% in June based on official data. "But our Asian economists look for the softness in regional trade to continue."

BofAML also said it expects Singapore June CPI inflation to hit 5.3%. Also, industrial production "probably grew at a tepid +2.1% in June." Official inflation numbers are scheduled to come out today while industrial production data are slated for release on Thursday.

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.
