Total trade expands by 8%

Singapore’s total trade in 2011 reached S$974b.

The expansion however, according to International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, was slower compared to the 21 percent growth posted in 2010.

International Enterprise (IE) Singapore reported:

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew by 2.2 per cent in 2011 after rising by 23 per cent in the previous year due to higher non-electronic exports.

Non-oil re-exports (NORX) declined marginally by 0.6 per cent in 2011, compared to the preceding year’s increase of 18 per cent, on lower shipments of electronic NORX.

Projected total trade and NODX growth in 2012 are both maintained at between 3.0 and 5.0 per cent.

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.
