Growth in electronics spurred the recovery, surpassing non-electronics.

This chart from Enterprise Singapore reveals that non-oil re-exports (NORX) slightly jumped 0.1% in August following the 3.1% decline in July, with the growth in electronic re-exports surpassing the reduction in non-electronics.

On a yearly basis, electronic NORX expanded 12.4% in August, after the 11.9% rise in July. The growth was due to ICs (+7.9%), parts of PCs (+39.7%) and telecommunications equipment (+21.3%).

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.
