SINGAPORE: Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) fell 15.9% year-on-year in May partly due to a sharp decline in shipments to China, official data showed on Monday.

The drop was slightly smaller than the 16.5% decline predicted by economists in a Reuters poll, but more than the 10% fall seen in April.
