    [SINGAPORE] Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) has significantly raised the Republic’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) forecast for 2026 to a range of 14 to 16 per cent, from 3 to 5 per cent previously.

    This upgrade was primarily underpinned by the better-than-expected NODX performance in the first half of the year, the agency said in its quarterly trade review on Tuesday (Aug 11) morning.

    It noted that key exports grew by 18.6 per cent on the year in H1, marking the strongest first-half performance since 2010.
