SINGAPORE : Singapore's key non-oil domestic exports (NODX)
rose eight percent in May from a year ago, improving on the
previous month's performance, but electronics remained weak,
officials said on Tuesday.

The rise in May's NODX to 8.63 billion Singapore dollars (US$5
billion) resulted from a strong showing by the chemicals sector,
said International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore), the
government trade body.

The May performance was in line with analysts' forecasts. --
