Shares in Singapore ended higher on March 17 after China announced a plan to boost domestic consumption and the Republic reported growth in non-oil domestic exports (Nodx).
The Republic's Nodx grew 7.6 per cent in February, based on data from Enterprise Singapore. This figure is a turnaround from the previous month's 2.1 per cent decline, but missed economists' median estimate of a 9.7 per cent increase.
