Exports post slower growth in July due to low demand in China

It rose to 7.0% in July from 8.5% in June.

With the low demand in China, non-oil domestic exports (NODX) registered a slower growth from 7% in July compared to 8.5% in June.

A report from Maybank showed that NODX to China went down on both electronics with 15.4% decline and 22.3% down for non-electronics.

Exports to Japan also went down for the first time in 13 months from 15.3% down in July to 18.6% in June. Whilst exports in Hong Kong extended declines for the seventh straight month with 3.8% down in July.

Contrary to this, exports to the European Union bounced back to 22.9% in July compared to 16.4% down in June. The increase was attributed to pharmacy with 87.3%, specialised machinery with 21.5%, and ICs with 52.5%.

With these factors, Maybank maintained its 2022 NODX forecast at 5% to 6% as it expects the growth to still decelerate in the coming months amidst the weakened global growth outlook.

“We maintain our 2022 NODX growth forecast at 5%-6% (7M22: +9.7%), and 2023 forecast at between -2% and +1%,” it said.

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.
