Non-oil re-exports fell 5.4% in February

The drop, attributed to a decline in both electronic and non-electronic NORX, reversed the 7.4 percent rise in the previous month.

Higher electronic NORX however pushed year-on-year (y-o-y) results to be up by 3.9 percent, according to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore.

Meanwhile non-oil domestic exports (NODX) increased by 15 percent in February 2010, on a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, a recovery from the previous month's 9.1 percent decline. On a y-o-y basis, NODX saw 23 percent growth in February 2010, following the 21 percent rise in the previous month, due to both electronic and non-electronic NODX.

Total trade on a y-o-y basis expanded by 18 percent in February 2010, after the 33 percent growth in the previous month, with total exports rising by 19 percent and total imports increasing by 16 percent in February 2010.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
