Non-oil re-exports fell 5.4% in February

The drop, attributed to a decline in both electronic and non-electronic NORX, reversed the 7.4 percent rise in the previous month.

Higher electronic NORX however pushed year-on-year (y-o-y) results to be up by 3.9 percent, according to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore.

Meanwhile non-oil domestic exports (NODX) increased by 15 percent in February 2010, on a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, a recovery from the previous month's 9.1 percent decline. On a y-o-y basis, NODX saw 23 percent growth in February 2010, following the 21 percent rise in the previous month, due to both electronic and non-electronic NODX.

Total trade on a y-o-y basis expanded by 18 percent in February 2010, after the 33 percent growth in the previous month, with total exports rising by 19 percent and total imports increasing by 16 percent in February 2010.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
