Singapore exports to lose steam in 2011

The rebound in trade shown in the last three months of 2010 is seen to be temporary, UBS said.

Singapore export-to-GDP came in at around 15% in the previous year.

Exports are a key source of income for Asia and are a primary determinant of the Asian business cycle. Singapore and Hong Kong are affected the most by the trade cycle.

UBS expects trade to decelerate year-on-year until 2Q11; but the rate at which Asian export bottom could be higher than they originally pencilled in.
