DEMAND for Singapore's key exports such as electronics could stay buoyant ahead, but economists are also warning of headwinds from the Russia-Ukraine war and China's localised lockdowns.
The growth of non-oil domestic exports (NODX) in February eased to its slowest in 6 months at 9.5 per cent year on year, down from the previous month's 17.6 per cent expansion, according to data from Enterprise Singapore on Thursday (Mar 17).
