Chart of the Day: Electronics shipments contract

For the third straight month at that.

OSK-DMG Group Economics noted:

Driving NODX higher in October was non-electronics, which surged 12.7% yoy from 3.9% in Sep, underpinned by structures of ships & boats (+148.1% yoy) and electrical circuit apparatus (+37.9% yoy) shipments.

Pharmaceutical exports staged a recovery, rising 2.7% yoy in Oct from -3.0% in Sep, while petrochemical shipments moderated to 4.2% yoy in Oct from 5.2% in Sep. Electronics shipments contracted for the third straight month, albeit at a slower pace of 0.8% in Oct compared to -16.6% in Sep.

In terms of destinations, Malaysia was the only destination among the top 5 to remain in a contraction, down -6.8% yoy in Oct, while the others like the EU, US and Hong Kong staged recoveries or China, which saw stronger growth.

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.
