Singapore’s trade sector began 2019 on a whimper with non-oil domestic exports (Nodx) for January sliding a worse-than-expected 10.1%per cent from a year ago .
This was the biggest contraction in over two years since exports slumped 12 per cent in October 2016. Analysts polled by Bloomberg were expecting a 3.5 per cent decline, given the high base effect of January 2018 when exports rose 13 per cent.
The drop in January 2019 was also the third straight month of decline after a 8.5 per cent year-on-year fall in December last year and 2.8 per cent decrease in November, Enterprise Singapore figures released on Monday (Feb 18) show.
