SINGAPORE, April 17 (Reuters) - Singapore's March
non-oil domestic exports (NODX) shrank 8.3% year-on-year,
official data showed on Monday, though the drop was smaller than
the previous month and less than forecast.
Economists had expected a 20.8% contraction in a Reuters
poll. Exports had contracted 15.8% in February.
On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, NODX
increased 18.4%, Enterprise Singapore data showed, versus the
prior month's 8.2% decline. Economists had forecast 1.7% growth.
