NORX up 5.1% in September

The growth in electronic NORX outweighed the decline in non-electronics.

Non-oil re-exports rose by 5.1% YoY in September, thanks to the growth of electronic re-exports outweighing the decline in non-electronics, according to Enterprise Singapore.

Compared to Auugst, NORX rose by 1% to reach $24.1b in September. This is higher than the $23.9b in the previous month.

Electronic NORX expanded by 23.6% YoY in September, accelerating from the 12.3% rise in August. This was due to ICs, diodes & transistors, and PCs growing by 22.5%, 58.2%, and 94.9% respectively.

On the other hand, non-electronic NORX shrunk 10.9% in the same month, extending the 11.5% contraction in August. The decrease was attributed to aircraft parts, piston engines, and non-electronic engines & motors, which fell by 42.8%, 69.3%, and 16.7%, respectively.

Measured based on markets, overall NORX to the majority of the top 10 markets grew in September except to Malaysia, Japan, and Indonesia. The top three contributors to the increase were China (+35.9%), Hong Kong (+24.5%) and the US (+15.7%).

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.
