According to data from trade agency International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, the country’s exports slumped in February, with non-oil domestic exports (NODX) declining by 9.7% on a yearly basis in February after increasing 4.3% in the previous month. The decline was mostly attributed to shorter working days stemming from the Chinese New Year holiday in February.
