Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports inched up 2.1% in February

Shipments to most major markets rose.

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 2.1% year-on-year in February, compared to the 10.1% year-on-year contraction in January.

According to IE Singapore, the growth was on back of expansion in both electronic and non-electronic shipments.

On a year-on-year basis, electronic NODX increased by 0.7% in February, compared to a 0.6% decline in the previous month. On a year-on-year basis, non-electronic NODX expanded by 2.7% in February, in contrast to the 14.1% decline in the previous month.

In February, NODX to all of the top 10 NODX markets, except Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and China, grew in February. The largest contributors to the NODX expansion were the EU 28, Hong Kong and Japan.

On a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, NODX decreased by 4.1% in February 2016, in contrast to the previous month’s 0.6% increase, due to the contraction in both electronic and non-electronic NODX.

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.
