NODX Plummeted As Pharmaceutical Shipments Softened

Economic Highlights




Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) fell 12.0% y-o-y in October, accelerating from -5.0% the month before, weighed by sharp declines in shipments of pharmaceuticals and capital goods.

By destination, shipments to EU and Japan fell substantially. However, a surge in exports to Taiwan, and a slower contraction in NODX to China helped cushion some of the downside.

We forecast for NODX to weaken in 2H and decline 4.8% for 2016 (-7.2% in 2015), weighed by slowing global growth.
