Singapore NODX up 9.1% in November

Both electronic and non-electronic exports increased.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 9.1% YoY in November, much slower than the 20.5% expansion last month.

According to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, NODX rose 8.7% on a MoM seasonally adjusted basis, from $14.7b last month to $15.9b in November.

Non-oil retained imports of intermediate goods (NORI) rose by $1.1b from $6.5b in the previous month to reach $7.7b.

Meanwhile, total trade rose by 10.1% YoY. Total exports jumped by 9.6%, whilst total imports grew 10.7%.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the level of total trade reached $85.5b, higher than the previous month’s achievement of $81.1b. Total exports increased by 6.8%, whilst total imports grew by 4%.

Electronic NODX increased by 5.2% YoY. Integrated circuits (IC), disk media products, and other computer peripherals grew by 9.6%, 21.6%, and 70.3% respectively, and they contributed the most to the increase in electronic domestic exports.

Non-electronic NODX increased by 10.6% YoY. Non-monetary gold, specialised machinery, and primary chemical increased by 43.4%, 17.1%, and 38.5% respectively, contributing the most to the growth in non-electronic NODX.

Oil domestic exports expanded by 31%, whilst NORX rose by 3.9%, after the 0.9% decline in October 2017, due to the higher shipment of electronic and non-electronic re-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.
