Singapore’s March non-oil domestic exports shrank 8.3 percent year-on-year, official data showed on Monday, though the drop was smaller than the previous month and less than forecast. | Reuters
The Monetary Authority of Singapore left its monetary policy settings unchanged last week, even though the inflation rate remains elevated, reflecting policy makers’ concerns about its growth outlook.
Although year-on-year growth was seen in non-electronic exports, electronic exports contracted 21.2 percent in March, following a 13.1- percent decline in February due to a decline in integrated circuits , personal computers and disk media products exports. “This upside surprise was mainly due to pharmaceuticals… so not sure if this upside surprise is really reflective of a improved external outlook,” said Brian Tan, senior economist at Barclays.
“The electronics exports still looks fairly bleak,” he said. Electronics are Singapore’s main growth engine for exports.
