Chart of the day: Slowing China exports drags Singapore’s growth

Export to China has contracted to translate to a slowdown in Singapore’s own growth.

This chart from ING shows the monthly exports to China from July 2020 to July 2022, showing a slowdown in growth momentum.

Several data reports have shown that China’s economy slowed by 4% year-on-year (YoY), down from a previous estimate of 4.4%

ING predicts that China’s projected slowdown will likely weigh on Singapore’s overall growth prospects in the near term.

“Exports to China have already contracted and softer demand from Singapore’s largest export destination has already translated to slowing manufacturing, particularly in the all-important electronics cluster of industrial production. Slowing growth for China caps Singapore’s growth prospects in the coming months with the trend of slower exports and weaker industrial production for Singapore likely to continue,” ING said.

Chart of the Day

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.
