SINGAPORE'S key exports look set to cool down towards the end of the year - although the headline figure is still expected to keep its head above water, with the help of cyclical recovery in the linchpin electronics sector.

Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew by 5.9 per cent year on year in September, lower than market expectations and slower than the 7.7 per cent expansion in the month before.
