Non-oil domestic exports fall 20.7% YoY in March

The decline in non-electronic NODX contributed largely to the drop.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) contracted by 20.7% YoY and 8.4% MoM in March, extending the decline in February.

Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) attributed the contraction to the decline in non-electronics NODX.

In March, non-electronic NODX declined 23.2% YoY.

Pharmaceuticals, structures of ships & boats and non-monetary gold, which fell by 70.3%, 99.8% and 49.1%, respectively, contributed the most to the dip in non-electronic NODX.

Electronic NODX likewise dipped, declining by 9.4% YoY. Telecommunications equipment (38.8% YoY), ICs (8.0%), and diodes & transistors (11.0%) dragged electronic NODX in March.

March also saw a contraction in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with the US (-50.2% YoY), the EU 27 (-45.4% YoY) and Japan (-36.5% YoY) being the largest contributors to the decrease.

Unlike NODX, oil domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) rose in March, climbing 2.0% YoY and 4.9% YoY, respectively.

With a decline in total exports (-3.4% YoY) and total imports (-0.1 YoY), total trade slipped by 1.8% YoY in March.

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.
