Demand from China spurs surge in Singapore exports


SINGAPORE, April 18 (dpa): Trade-dependent Singapore's exports swelled by over 12 per cent year-on-year in March driven in part by Chinese demand, the government agency Enterprise Singapore has announced.

The 12.1-per-cent expansion comes after the city-state this week reported an increase in gross domestic product (GDP) for the first time since early 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic struck.
