Non-oil domestic exports drop 13.2% YoY in September

The drop in electronics and non-electronic exports drove the overall decline.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) continued to decline in September, albeit, at a slower pace.

Data from Enterprise Singapore showed that NODX fell by 13.2% YoY, lower than the 22.5% contraction in August.

Enterprise Singapore attributed the decline in NODX to the drop in electronics and non-electronic exports, which fell by 11.6% YoY and 13.6% YoY, respectively.

ICs, PCs and disk media products, which contracted by 16.2% YoY, 33.2% YoY, and 38.9% YoY, respectively, contributed the most to the decrease in electronic exports.

Meanwhile, the decline in non-electronic NODX was due to the contraction in non-monetary gold (-59.6%), pharmaceuticals (-31.2%) and food preparations (-40.0%).

In the same month, exports to Singapore’s top markets also fell, with Taiwan (-34.9%), Indonesia (-45.2%), and Malaysia (-19.8% YoY) being the largest contributors to the decline.

Apart from NODX, oil-domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) also declined in September, falling by 17.0% and 11.6%, respectively.

With a decline in total exports (-12.7%) and imports (-11.8%), total trade decreased by 12.3% in September.

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.
