Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) climbed 6.1% yoy in December 2025, easing from a downwardly revised 11.5% rise in November and falling below forecasts of a 10% gain. This marked the softest pace since August, when NODX declined, due to a slowdown in non-electronic export growth. Non-electronic exports grew 0.8% yoy, easing sharply from 11.1% growth in November, boosted by rises in mechanical handling equipment (415.8%), non-monetary gold (73.3%), and specialised machinery (5.4%). Meanwhile, electronic exports jumped 24.9%, following a 12.9% rise in November, due to a surge in shipments of telecommunications equipment (81.5%), disk media products (53.5%), and ICs (32.1%). Exports grew to Taiwan (24.3%), China (17.9%), Malaysia (13.3%), and South Korea (12.9%). Conversely, exports shrank to the US (-36.6%), Indonesia (-27.9%), and Japan (-26.4%). Monthly, NODX fell 9.4%, reversing a downwardly revised 6.6% gain in November and marking the steepest decline in seven months.
