Singapore’s non-oil exports decline by 1.1% in Sept from a year ago

SINGAPORE (Oct 17): Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) in September declined by 1.1%, after the 16.7% growth in the preceding month, says IE Singapore.

This was due to a decrease in electronic NODX which outweighed the increase in non-electronic exports, according to the agency that promotes international trade.

Compared to a year ago, total trade grew by 6.2% in September, extending the 15.4% expansion in the preceding month. Total exports increased by 3.8% in September, following the 15.1% growth in August. Total imports grew by 9.1% in September, after the 15.8% expansion in August.
