iPhone launch to spur semiconductor demand

This is a positive for Singapore NODX.

Whilst RHB reckons that non-oil domestic exports (NODX) will remain slow ahead, exports are expected to grow 3.9% this year versus a 3.2% drop last year.

According to RHB, this will be underpinned by the overall higher semiconductor demand, which is set to pick up again in July ahead of the new Apple iPhone launch.

It will also be supported by stronger economic growth in the US, which represents a key source of final demand and improving commodity prices, which would support ASEAN economic growth.

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.
