SINGAPORE 17 March 2026 (The Capital Post)- Singapore’s exports grew by 4% year-on-year in February, although the increase fell short of market expectations amid mixed global demand conditions.
Official data showed that non-oil domestic exports (NODX) recorded moderate growth, supported by selected gains in electronics and non-electronics segments.
Despite the expansion, analysts noted that the pace of growth was slower than anticipated, reflecting ongoing uncertainties in global trade and softer demand from key markets.
Economists said external factors, including geopolitical tensions and uneven recovery across major economies, continue to weigh on export performance.
