Decreases in both electronics and non-electronics exports drove the decline in NODX.

Based on Enterprise Singapore's report, the decreases in electronic (-17.9% YoY) and non-electronic product exports (-21.3% YoY) drove the decline in NODX.

ICs, disk media products and parts of PCs which contracted by 26.0%, 36.5% and 41.7%, respectively, contributed the most to the decrease in electronic exports.

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.
