Export growth moderates to 7.0% in July

In June, non-oil domestic exports grew by 8.5%.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew at a slower pace in July, rising only by 7.0% from 8.5% in June. 

The slowdown of export growth was on the back of more moderate increases in non-electronic products. 

Data from Enterprise Singapore showed that non-electronic products only rose by 6.1% in July, much lower than the 10.0% growth it clocked in June.

Electronic products, on the other hand, posted higher growth in July of 10.3% from a 4.1% increase in June. 

The largest contributors to NODX growth in July were the EU 27 (+22.9%), Malaysia (+29.9%) and Taiwan (+24.4%).
