The value of non-oil domestic exports from Singapore climbed a seasonally adjusted 7.0 percent on month in January, Enterprise Singapore said on Wednesday - coming in at S$15.4 billion.
That beat expectations for an increase of 2.0 percent and was up from 4.8 percent in December, which had a value of S$14.4 billion.
On a yearly basis, non-oil domestic exports spiked 12.8 percent - far exceeding expectations for a gain of 5.4 percent and up from the 6.8 percent jump in the previous month.
The increase was mainly due to electronics, specialized machinery, non- monetary gold and petrochemicals, the bureau said.
