Non-oil domestic exports contraction eases to 3.4% YoY in October

In September, NODX fell by 13.2% YoY.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) continued to decline in October, albeit, at a slower pace.

Data from Enterprise Singapore showed that NODX fell by 3.4% YoY, lower than the 13.2% contraction in September.

Enterprise Singapore attributed the decline in NODX to the drop in electronics and non-electronic exports, which fell by 5.6% YoY and 2.7% YoY, respectively.

ICs, diodes & transistors and parts of PCs, which contracted by 17.6% YoY, 19.8% YoY, and 22.9% YoY, respectively, contributed the most to the decrease in electronic exports.

Meanwhile, the decline in non-electronic NODX was due to the contraction in food preparations (-41.7%), non-electric engines & motors (-55.4%) and electrical machinery (-29.7%).

In the same month, exports to Singapore’s top markets also fell, with Taiwan (-43.7%), the US (-13.8%) and South Korea (-14.7%) being the largest contributors to the decline.

Unlike NODX, oil-domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) grew in October, rising by 12.6% YoY and 2.5% YoY, respectively. Total exports (2.8% YoY) likewise grew.

With the increase in total exports and a 2.3% YoY decline in total imports, total trade decreased by 0.3% YoY in October.

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.
