Chart of the Day: Check out which sector dragged Singapore manufacturing output

It was certainly not the electronics sector.

Singapore’s manufacturing output increased 1.2% in October 2016, data from Economic Development Board of Singapore show.

However, it would have posted a higher growth if it was not for three sectors reflecting disappointing outputs.

While electronics registered a 24.6% growth as biomedical manufacturing posted 11.3% expansion, general manufacturing output plummeted 22.2%.

But it was the transport engineering sector which posted the huge drop in output at 26.9%.

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.
