Singapore October exports slump 12%

The electronics sector is a major drag.

Data from International Enterprise Singapore show that on a y-o-y basis, electronic NODX contracted by 6% in October 2016, following the 6.6% decline in the previous month.

The decrease in electronic domestic exports was largely due to ICs (-5.%), disk drives (-47.7 %) and telecommunications equipment (-19.9%).

On a y-o-y basis, non-electronic NODX contracted by 14.6% in October 2016, after the 4.2% decline in the previous month. The decreasein non-electronic NODX was led by pharmaceuticals (-47.0%), petrochemicals (-7.0%) and civil engineering equipment parts (-40.7%).

On a SA basis, the level of NODX reachedS$12.3b in October 2016, lower than the S$12.7b registered in the previous month.
