Chart of the Day: Is NODX on a positive trajectory?

It clocked a 9.4% growth in December.

It may seem like Singapore's non-oil domestic exports is on the rise, soarin 9.4% in December 2016. It remained robust despite growing slower compared to the 11.5% surge in the previous month.

However, RHB believes that exports will remain subdued this year, with the boost from higher commodity prices and global fiscal stimulus spending tampered by rising borrowing costs, currency volatility in ASEAN and rising uncertainty in G3.

Meanwhile, RHB said in the short-term non-oil retained intermediate imports (NORI) slowed but remained positive, while the semiconductor book-to-bill ratio came in at under one for the second consecutive month (0.96), pointing to slower manufacturing growth in the coming months.

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.
