SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's December non-oil domestic exports (NODX) increased 6.8% from a year earlier, official data showed on Monday, due to a rise in shipments of electronics as well as non-electronics such as specialised machinery and non-monetary gold.
The rise followed a 5.0% decrease in November.
Economists had expected a 0.3% increase according to the median of 7 estimates.
On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, exports rose 6.6% in December, extending the prior month's 3.7% expansion, Enterprise Singapore said in a statement.
Economists had forecast a 3.6% rise.
