Total trade expands by 8%

Singapore’s total trade in 2011 reached S$974b.

The expansion however, according to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, was slower compared to the 21 percent growth posted in 2010.

International Enterprise (IE) Singapore reported:

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew by 2.2 per cent in 2011 after rising by 23 per cent in the previous year due to higher non-electronic exports.

Non-oil re-exports (NORX) declined marginally by 0.6 per cent in 2011, compared to the preceding year’s increase of 18 per cent, on lower shipments of electronic NORX.

Projected total trade and NODX growth in 2012 are both maintained at between 3.0 and 5.0 per cent.

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.
