NODX expansion slows in April as electronic exports slip

NODX grew by 2.2% last month.

Data released today by IE Singapore showed that non-oil domestic exports (NODX) recorded a modest 2.2% year-on-year growth in April, a significantly slower pace of expansion following the 18.5% surge in March.

Electronic exports fell by 3.8% in contrast to the 10.4% expansion in March. The contraction in electronic domestic exports was largely due to a 75.1%crash in exports of integrated circuit parts, an 18.4% drop in exports of PC parts, and a 44% crash in exports of consumer electronics.

Meanwhile, non-electronic NODX expanded by 4.7% in April, following the 21.6% increase in the March. The growth in non-electronic NODX was led by a surge in exports of structures of ships & boats and non-electric engines & motors, as well as an increase in pharmaceuticals exports.

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.
