Has the electronic trade cycle bottomed out?

On a 6MMA YoY basis, electronic NODX has exhibited incrementally narrow contractions.

Experts believe the electronics cycle has bottomed and expect a recovery in the coming quarters due to base effects.

Data from UOB showed that on a 6MMA YoY basis, electronic NODX has exhibited incrementally narrow contractions from -22.7% YoY in August to -16.0% YoY in November.

UOB also noted that export performance in the electronics and semiconductor powerhouses, South Korea and Taiwan, continued to record improvements.

In South Korea, exports expanded 7.7% YoY in November, whilst Taiwan recorded a 3.8% YoY growth in its exports in the same month.

Meanwhile, Singapore’s November electronics PMI turned positive for the first time since July 2022, with a reading above the 50 threshold at 50.1.

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.
