Exports growth slows to 3.1% in September

This is down from the 11.4% growth in August 2022. 

Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew by 3.1% in September 2022, slower than the 11.4% growth seen in the previous month, Enterprise Singapore reported. 

Enterprise Singapore attributed this to non-electronics, which increased by 7.6% in September. Electronic products, meanwhile, dropped by 10.6% over the same period. 

The report also noted that Singapore saw its exports register an overall decline across its top 10 markets.

Moreover, non-oil re-exports (NORX) expanded by 20.2% over the same period after both electronics and non-electronics increased. Electronic NORX grew by 18%, and non-electronic NORX increased by 22.9% in September 2022.

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.
