Non-oil domestic exports posted unexpected 18.5% jump in March

On back of robust electronic, pharma exports.

Data from IE Singapore showed that Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) posted an unexpected 18.5% year-on-year increase in March, on back of an expansion in both electronic and non-electronic exports.

In particular, electronics exports grew 10.4% in March, in sharp contrast to the 12.5% decrease in the previous month.

The rise in electronic domestic exports was largely due to to the 24.4% growth in exports of ICs, as well as the 123% surge in PC exports and the 16.1% increase in exports of diodes & transistors.

On the other hand, non-electronic exports grew 21.6% in March. This was driven by a 65.9% growth in pharmaceuticals, a 337.6% surge in exports of structures of ships & boats, and a 433.7% increase in non-electronic engines & motors 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.
