Singapore Economic Outlook: Non-oil Exports fell 14% in August 2008

Singapore's non-oil exports fell 14% in August year-on-year as slowing global economic growth cut consumer demand for electronic goods. The drop in exports was led by electronic goods which fell 19%. Pharmaceuticals also fell by 9.6%. Exports, however, rose 2.0% compared t0 July 2008. Singapore government cut its 2008 economic growth forecast last month to between 4-5% on expectations of falling consumer demand in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Exports fell 5.8% in July 2008 year-on-year. The continuous decline in August raises the probability of a technical recession in 2008.
