Non-oil domestic exports up 10.7% in August

The expansion, however, was slower than July's growth.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 10.7% YoY in August, a slower expansion than the 15.7% growth in July.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) attributed the increase to expansions in electronics and non-electronics NODX.

In August, non-electronic NODX grew by 3.7% YoY.

Specialised machinery, non-monetary gold and food preparations, which expanded by 43.7%, 26.8% and 20.9%, respectively, contributed the most to the increase in non-electronic NODX.

Electronic NODX also improved, increasing by 35.1% YoY, driven by ICs, disk media products and PCs, which grew by 58.4%, 7.6% and 668.0%, respectively.

August also saw an expansion in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with Hong Kong (70.6% YoY), China (18.8% YoY) and Malaysia (28.6% YoY) being the major contributors to the increase.

Like NODX, non-oil re-exports (NORX) saw a slower expansion of 4.6% YoY.

On the other hand, oil domestic exports declined by 5.8% YoY amidst lower oil prices.

With total exports rising by 4.4% YoY and total imports expanding by 1,8%, total trade grew by 3.1% in August.

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.
