Export growth moderates to 7.0% in July

In June, non-oil domestic exports grew by 8.5%.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew at a slower pace in July, rising only by 7.0% from 8.5% in June. 

The slowdown of export growth was on the back of more moderate increases in non-electronic products. 

Data from Enterprise Singapore showed that non-electronic products only rose by 6.1% in July, much lower than the 10.0% growth it clocked in June.

Electronic products, on the other hand, posted higher growth in July of 10.3% from a 4.1% increase in June. 

The largest contributors to NODX growth in July were the EU 27 (+22.9%), Malaysia (+29.9%) and Taiwan (+24.4%).

Overall, exports expanded by 29.1% in July.

With an expansion in exports, and a 33.0% growth in imports, total trade grew by 31.0% in July.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
