Chart of the Day: Falling shipments to EU drag down electronics NODX by 10.2% in November

Pharmaceuticals rebound saves the day.

Singapore’s electronics industry continues to face structural and competitiveness issues, revealing that it does not benefit from the ICT upcycle in US as observed from the Empire State Manufacturing Future Technology Spending index which is hovering near its multiyear high.

According to a report by Maybank Kim Eng, non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rebounded in Nov 2014 by 1.6 YoY as gains in non-electronic shipments offset continued weakness in electronics exports.

Pharmaceuticals provided some respite as it rebounded by +26.8% YoY in Nov 2014 (Oct 2014 -4.2% YoY) largely thanks of the low base in Nov 2013. Shipment value last month came in at SGD1.18b compared to SGD0.93b recorded in Nov 2013.

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.
