The main risk from the US’ new pharmaceutical tariff framework may not be immediate trade [SINGAPORE] The Republic’s key exports sharply exceeded forecasts in April, rising 24.5 per cent year on year. This came on the back of robust artificial intelligence-related demand, Enterprise Singapore data showed on Monday (May 18). The expansion was more than double the 10.9 per cent growth forecast by private-sector economists in a Bloomberg poll. It also extended March’s 15.3 per cent increase. Both electronics and non-electronics exports grew in April.  Electronics exports grew 66.7 per cent, easing from March’s 73.9 per cent increase. Disk media products (148.9 per cent), integrated circuits (82.7 per cent) and PCs (35.7 per cent) contributed the most to the expansion.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/economy-policy/singapores-key-exports-24-5-april-beating-forecasts?ref=home-top-stories-1 (ICE SINGAPORE)
