Singapore NODX to US, Japan and China all shrivel

It's a good thing other export markets stepped up to the plate to offset the contraction in these major three.

Namely, it was Hong Kong, Indonesia and South Korea who contributed the most to NODX growth.

Breaking it down per sector, NODX to Hong Kong rose by 23 per cent in May 2012, following the previous month’s 28 per cent expansion, led by ICs (+18 per cent), telecommunications equipment (+140 per cent) and electrical machinery (+175 per cent).

NODX to Indonesia increased by 16 per cent, following the previous month’s 20 per cent rise, led by capacitors (+1,204 per cent), telecommunications equipment (+169 per cent) and specialised machinery (+100 per cent).

NODX to South Korea expanded by 15 per cent, following the preceding month’s 42 per cent increase, led by other specialty chemicals (+73 per cent), petrochemicals (+156 per cent) and primary chemicals (+67 per cent).

NODX to emerging markets increased by 16 per cent in May 2012, compared to the 5.3 per cent contraction in the previous month. The increase in NODX to the emerging markets was due mainly to CLMV and the Middle East.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
