Singapore NODX rebounds with 11.6% surge in May

Non-electronic exports saw hefty expansion.

In a steep rebound from April 2016’s 7.9% tumble in non-oil domestic exports (NODX), Singapore NODX surged 11.6% in May. This is thanks to the expansion in non-electronic NODX outweighing the drop in electronic NODX.

According to a report by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, the largest contributors to the spike were US, Taiwan, and Malaysia.

On a YoY basis, NODX to all of the top 10 NODX markets, except the EU 28, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan, rose in May 2016.

On a MoM seasonally adjusted (SA) basis, NODX skyrocketed 16.8% in May 2016. This comes on the heels of the preceding month’s 4.5% growth, on back of an increase in both electronic and non-electronic NODX.

On an SA basis, NODX level reached $14.9b in May 2016, shooting past the $12.7b registered in April.

Meanwhile, non-oil re-exports (NORX) slipped by 2.8% YoY in May 2016, extending the 3% pullback in the preceding month. IE Singapore reports that this is on back of a decline in electronic NORX, which outweighed the uptick in non-electronic NORX.

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.
