Exports growth slows to 3.1% in September

This is down from the 11.4% growth in August 2022. 

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew by 3.1% in September 2022, slower than the 11.4% growth seen in the previous month, Enterprise Singapore reported. 

Enterprise Singapore attributed this to non-electronics, which increased by 7.6% in September. Electronic products, meanwhile, dropped by 10.6% over the same period. 

The report also noted that Singapore saw its exports register an overall decline across its top 10 markets.

Moreover, non-oil re-exports (NORX) expanded by 20.2% over the same period after both electronics and non-electronics increased. Electronic NORX grew by 18%, and non-electronic NORX increased by 22.9% in September 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
