Chart of the Day: Is NODX on a positive trajectory?

It clocked a 9.4% growth in December.

It may seem like Singapore's non-oil domestic exports is on the rise, soarin 9.4% in December 2016. It remained robust despite growing slower compared to the 11.5% surge in the previous month.

However, RHB believes that exports will remain subdued this year, with the boost from higher commodity prices and global fiscal stimulus spending tampered by rising borrowing costs, currency volatility in ASEAN and rising uncertainty in G3.

Meanwhile, RHB said in the short-term non-oil retained intermediate imports (NORI) slowed but remained positive, while the semiconductor book-to-bill ratio came in at under one for the second consecutive month (0.96), pointing to slower manufacturing growth in the 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.
