    THE official full-year growth forecasts for non-oil domestic exports (NODX) and total trade have been trimmed for a third time, after a disappointing showing by both in the third quarter.

    Trade promotion agency International Enterprise Singapore now put NODX's year-on-year growth at 0.5 to 1.0 per cent for 2015, a downward adjustment from earlier forecasts of 1-2 and 1-3 per cent.
