Non-oil domestic exports slip by 0.1% YoY in February

Month-on-month, NODX declined by 4.8%.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) dipped by 0.1% YoY and 4.8% MoM in February, following a 16.7% YoY and 2.2% MoM expansion in January.

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

In February, non-electronic NODX declined 1.5% YoY.

Food preparations, specialty chemicals and electrical circuit apparatus, which fell by 23.5%, 19.7% and 36.9% respectively, contributed the most to the dip in non-electronic exports.

Meanwhile, electronic NODX, which expanded by 5.2% YoY, received a boost from ICs (15.9% YoY), PCs (26.2% YoY) and parts of ICs (54.8% YoY).

February also saw an expansion in NODX to Singapore’s top markets, with Hong Kong (+143.6% YoY), the US (+17.1% YoY) and Indonesia (+8.2%) being the largest contributors to the increase.

Unlike NODX, oil domestic exports and non-oil re-exports (NORX) rose in February, climbing 9.9% YoY and 0.7% YoY, respectively.

With a growth in total exports (1.7% YoY) and total imports (5.6% YoY), total trade expanded by 3.5% in February.

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.
