Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports inch up by 0.3% in September

Thanks to a surge in electronic exports.

The city-state bounced back from last month’s disappointing 8.4% decline in NODX, despite the decline in non-electronic exports.

According to International Enterprise Singapore, the 5.7% growth in electronic exports was a modest improvement from its 2.7% decline last month. The expansion could be attributed to ICs, PCs, and telecommunications equipment which improved by 14.1%, 32.5%, and 76.8% respectively.

This growth helped overcome the 1.9% contraction of non-electronic NODX, which continued its downhill slide following a 10.7% decline last August.

“The contraction in non-electronic NODX was led by petrochemicals (-19.1%), printed matter (-36.2%) and primary chemicals (-28.6%),” said the report.

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.
