NODX disappoints with 16.3% decline

Both electronic and non-electronic domestic exports nearly crashed.

International Enterprise Singapore reported:

On a y-o-y basis, NODX decreased by 16.3 per cent in December 2012, following the 2.6 per cent contraction in the previous month, due to a decline in both electronic and non-electronic domestic exports.

On a y-o-y basis, electronic NODX contracted by 19.1 per cent in December 2012, after the 16.5 per cent decline in the previous month. The decrease in electronic domestic exports was largely due to ICs (-23.4 per cent), parts of PCs (-32.9 per cent) and disk media products (-27.3 per cent).

On a y-o-y basis, non-electronic NODX contracted by 14.8 per cent in December 2012, compared to the 6.1 per cent increase in the previous month. The decrease in non-electronic NODX was led by structures of ships & boats (-97.7 per cent), pharmaceuticals (-11.5 per cent) and specialised machinery (-24.4 per cent).

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.
