Singapore total exports up 12% in November

Yet it is a slow growth compared to October's 20% y-o-y growth.

HSBC said that non-oil domestic exports (NODX), a better gauge of value-added, also saw slower growth (10% vs. 35% y-o-y in October). This was well-below our forecast (23.4% y-o-y) and that of consensus (21.5% y-o-y). Moreover, NODX sequential growth turned negative (-13% m-o-m sa vs. 5.8% the month before).

By products, NODX saw slower growth for both electronics exports (11% y-o-y vs. 34% in October) and non-electronics exports (9.5% y-o-y vs. 35% in September). Electronics exports growth slowed for all the top 5 categories, in some cases (parts of ICs) partly reflecting a base effect. For non-electronics, the big drag was our old volatile friend pharmaceuticals, plummeting 34% y-o-y (vs. 26.2% in October).

By markets, NODX growth for the EU slowed markedly (20% y-o-y) following the dizzying 70% y-o-y jump in October. The growth slowdown for the US was of a similar magnitude (13% y-o-y vs. 72.2% the previous month). NODX destined for China also grew at a slower pace, although the slowdown was not as drastic (37% vs. 43% in October). All three markets saw slower growth for both electronics and non-electronics.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
