NODX on a winning streak, up 21.5% in February

Both electronics and non-electronics gained in the said month.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports reflected stronger growth in February, ending the month with a 21.5% growth.

According to the latest figures from International Enterprise Singapore, this came as both electronics and non-electronics closed the month with gains.

On a year-on-year basis, electronic NODX expanded by 17.2% in February 2017, following the 6.1% rise in the previous month. ICs, disk media products, and parts of PCs grew by 25.8%, 26.9%, and 19.7%, respectively, contributing the most to the growth in electronic domestic exports.

On the other hand, non-electronic NODX grew by 23.3% in February 2017, following the 9.8% increase in the previous month. Petrochemicals, specialised machinery, and non-monetary gold increased by 45.3%, 111.8%, and 104.3%, respectively, contributing the most to the rise in non-electronic NODX.

NODX's winning streak started in November 2016, when it registered a 15.6% growth. From then, the uptrend eased a little to 9.1% in December and 8.6% in January.

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.
