Non-oil domestic exports growth slows to 2.7% in September

In August, NODX grew 10.7% YoY.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 2.7% YoY in September, a slower expansion than the 10.7% growth in August.

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

In August, non-electronic NODX grew by 2.3% YoY.

Pharmaceuticals, specialised machinery, and other speciality chemicals expanded by 35.0%, 12.9%, and 46.2%, respectively, contributing the most to the increase in non-electronic NODX.

Electronic NODX also improved, increasing by 4.0% YoY, driven by disk media products, PCs and ICs, which grew by 64.6%, 55.0% and 4.8%, respectively.

September also saw an expansion in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with EU 27 (37.6%), Indonesia (52.3%) and South Korea (34.9%) being the major contributors to the increase.

Like NODX, non-oil re-exports (NORX) saw a slower expansion of 3.4% YoY.

On the other hand, oil domestic exports declined by 13.5% YoY amidst lower oil prices.

With total exports rising by 0.1% YoY and total imports expanding by 0.9%, total trade grew by 0.5% 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.
