Non-oil domestic exports fall 20.7% YoY in March

The decline in non-electronic NODX contributed largely to the drop.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) contracted by 20.7% YoY and 8.4% MoM in March, extending the decline in February.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) attributed the contraction to the decline in non-electronics NODX.

In March, non-electronic NODX declined 23.2% YoY.

Pharmaceuticals, structures of ships & boats and non-monetary gold, which fell by 70.3%, 99.8% and 49.1%, respectively, contributed the most to the dip in non-electronic NODX.

Electronic NODX likewise dipped, declining by 9.4% YoY. Telecommunications equipment (38.8% YoY), ICs (8.0%), and diodes & transistors (11.0%) dragged electronic NODX in March.

March also saw a contraction in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with the US (-50.2% YoY), the EU 27 (-45.4% YoY) and Japan (-36.5% YoY) being the largest contributors to the decrease.

Unlike NODX, oil domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) rose in March, climbing 2.0% YoY and 4.9% YoY, respectively.

With a decline in total exports (-3.4% YoY) and total imports (-0.1 YoY), total trade slipped by 1.8% YoY in March.

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.
