Economic Update




Singapore’s NODX grew 8.6% YoY in January, slowing from a 9.1% bounce in the month before, but remaining very robust nonetheless. The strong performance in January was helped by a low base effect and a bottleneck in demand for semiconductors.

Going forward, we project for non-oil domestic exports (NODX) to expand 2% in 2017, rebounding from a 3.2% drop last year. This is underpinned by:
    i.   Simultaneous fiscal stimulus from developed nations; 
   ii.   Consolidating US economic recovery;
  iii.   Stabilising growth in China;
  iv.   Improving commodity prices, which ought to aid in the economic recoveries of the regional trading peers.
