Electronic parts, anyone?

Domestic exports of electronics fell 17% in the third quarter.

International Enterprise (IE) Singapore reported:

Electronic products
On a y-o-y basis, domestic exports of electronics (comprising 32 per cent of NODX) contracted by 17 per cent in 3Q 2011, following the decline of 14 per cent in the previous quarter. The decrease in electronic NODX can be attributed to lower domestic exports of parts of ICs (-41 per cent), ICs (-9.6 per cent) and disk drives (-50 per cent).

Non-electronic products
On a y-o-y basis, domestic exports of non-electronics (comprising 68 per cent of NODX) increased by 8.3 per cent in 3Q 2011, after a growth of 12 per cent in the preceding quarter. The rise in non-electronic NODX was led by higher domestic exports of ships & boats (+394 per cent), pharmaceuticals (+13 per cent) and disk media products (+29 per cent).

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.
