Chart of the Day: How much of Singapore's re-exports go to China and US?

Singapore's re-exports is exposed to trade war impacts as 20% of it go to China and US.

This chart from CEIC showed that Singapore’s re-exports in 2017 are widely exposed to the trade wars as 13.6% of its re-exports goes to China whilst 6.1% goes to the US.

Maybank Kim Eng believes that Singapore’s role as a global trade and transportation hub made it more vulnerable to the looming trade wars as the Lion City’s US and China re-exports contributed a sizable 20% of Singapore’s re-exports in 2017.

“The trade war will hit not just the trade-related sectors, such as wholesale trade and transportation & storage, but also the financial sector.” Maybank explained.

The firm noted that business loans to general commerce and transportation and storage sectors collectively account for about 20% of total loans.

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the US-China bilateral trade made up 1.1% of Singapore’s gross domestic product (GDP).
