Chart of the Day: NORX sees sustained recovery with 5.7% Q2 growth

The top contributors were Malaysia, the European Union, and Indonesia.

This chart from Enterprise Singapore shows how non-oil re-exports (NORX)continue to approach recovery since a slump in Q4 2017 with a 5.7% YoY growth of more than $20b in Q2 2018. Q2’s recovery is even better than the 1.5% growth recorded in Q1.

According to the agency, NORX’s YoY rise could be mainly due to higher shipment of non-electronic re-exports which outweighed the decline in electronics. The biggest contributors to the increase in Q2 2018 were Malaysia (+11.2%), the European Union (+10.7%), and Indonesia (+9.3%).E

Enterprise Singapore also noted that NORX to all top markets rose in Q2 2018, except China and Taiwan.

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.
