    TOTAL merchandise trade as well as non-oil domestic exports performed better than expected in the third quarter, leading the government to raise sharply its full-year growth forecasts.

    Total trade rose for an eighth straight quarter at 14.7 per cent over a year ago in the July-September quarter, extending the second-quarter's 10.2 per cent jump - thanks to higher oil and non-oil trade, according to the government's trade promotion agency Enterprise Singapore.
