Exports to most key markets fell.

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports declined 0.8% year-on-year in July, compared to the 4.5% expansion in the previous month.

According to IE Singapore, the contraction was on back of lower non-electronic shipments and a decline in exports to most key markets.

NODX to all of the top 10 NODX markets, except Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand, declined during the month, with Japan, Taiwan and China being the top contributors to the NODX contraction.

A 2.1% decrease in non-electronic NODX which outweighed the 2.3% rise in electronic NODX. The contraction in non-electronic NODX was led by structures of ships & boats. which fell by 98.3%, printed matter, down 51.8% and primary chemicals, which slipped 22.1%.

Electronic exports grew largely due to higher exports of PCs, telecommunications equipment, and diodes and transistors.

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.
