NODX to China hits a record $3.1b in October

Thanks to non-monetary gold, petrochemicals, and measuring instruments.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) to China grew 53.3% YoY and hit a record high of $3.1b in October.

According to an analysis by Maybank Kim Eng and RHB Research, this was underpinned by higher demand for non-monetary gold, petrochemicals, and measuring instruments.

Singapore's other top markets included the EU, which grew +26%, and Malaysia, which grew +22%.

"NODX to the EU was boosted by purchases of pharmaceuticals and medical apparatus," RHB said.

Meanwhile, NODX to emerging markets, which comprised 13% of the total rebounded strongly by +32% after two months of decline. This was mainly supported by exports to Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV) countries, which grew +58%.

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.
