Analysts see H2 rebound for non-oil domestic exports

Sector to benefit from a more favourable global backdrop.

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) could still rebound in the second half of the year even after posting a worse-than-expected fall in June, according to RHB.

Economists at RHB expect NODX to gradually increase through the rest of the year and post a 0.5% increase for the whole of 2024.

The 8.7% YoY drop in June marked the fifth consecutive month of decline was primarily driven by weak electronic and non-electronic shipments. With NODX’s inherent unpredictability, particularly for volatile items, last month’s disappointing print does not signal a long-term trend for the entire segment, according to the analysts.

The improving global economic climate could also help lift Singapore’s exports in the year ahead, they said.

Manufacturing and trade-related sectors will likely be the main drivers of growth for NODX in the second half thanks to the upswing in the global tech cycle.

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.
