NODX contraction eases to 9.3% YoY in April

In March, NODX fell 20.8%.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) contracted 9.3% YoY in April, easing from the 20.8% YoY decline in March.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) attributed the contraction to the decline in non-electronics NODX and a high base a year ago.

In April, non-electronic NODX declined 12.3% YoY.

Pharmaceuticals, non-electric engines & motors and food preparations, which fell by 773.3%, 64.0% and 12.9%, respectively, contributed the most to the dip in non-electronic NODX.

On the other hand, electronic NODX improved, increasing by 3.3% YoY, driven by PCs (73.3%), disk media products (39.6%) and other computer peripherals (782.6%).

April also saw a contraction in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with the US (-40.6% YoY), the EU 27 (-55.1% YoY) and South Korea (-23.8% YoY) being the major contributors to the decrease.

Unlike NODX, oil domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) expanded in April, climbing 17.5% YoY and 25.4% YoY, respectively.

With an expansion in total exports (13.3% YoY) and total imports (18.3YoY), total trade improved by 15.7% YoY in April.

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.
