Singapore October exports slump 12%

The electronics sector is a major drag.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) fall further in October. It registered 12% YoY contraction following a 5% drop in September due to the decrease in both electronic and non-electronic NODX.

Data from International Enterprise Singapore show that on a y-o-y basis, electronic NODX contracted by 6% in October 2016, following the 6.6% decline in the previous month.

The decrease in electronic domestic exports was largely due to ICs (-5.%), disk drives (-47.7 %) and telecommunications equipment (-19.9%).

On a y-o-y basis, non-electronic NODX contracted by 14.6% in October 2016, after the 4.2% decline in the previous month. The decreasein non-electronic NODX was led by pharmaceuticals (-47.0%), petrochemicals (-7.0%) and civil engineering equipment parts (-40.7%).

On a month-on-month seasonally adjusted (m-o-m SA) basis, NODX decreased by 3.7% in October 2016, in contrast to the previous month’s 2.2% increase.

On a SA basis, the level of NODX reachedS$12.3b in October 2016, lower than the S$12.7b registered in the previous month.

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.
