Enterprise Singapore attributed the decline to a drop in electronics NODX.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) fell 1.5% YoY in December, following a 1.0% growth in November. Enterprise Singapore attributed the decline to the drop in electronics NODX.

In December, electronic NODX dropped 11.7%. PCs, ICs and parts of PCs, which contracted by 34.3%, 7.9%, and 25.7%, respectively, contributed the most to the decrease in electronic exports.

On the other hand, non-electronic NODX grew in December, rising by 1.4% YoY.

The growth in non-electronic NODX was due to expansions in pharmaceuticals (+56.9%),
non-monetary gold (+55.5%) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (+69.1%).

December also saw a drop in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with Taiwan (-33.2%), South Korea (-28.2%) and Japan (-18.1%) being the largest contributors to the decline.

Like NODX, oil domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) fell in December, dropping 16.3% YoY and 1.4% YoY, respectively.

With a drop in total exports (-4.6% YoY) and a 9.3% YoY decline in total imports, total trade fell by 6.8% YoY in December.

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.
