Enterprise Singapore open data reports domestic exports by destination area in an annual CSV series. Users comparing Singapore’s outward trade patterns should note breaks in methodology: pre-2003 figures exclude trade with Indonesia, and SITC revisions affect series before and after 1999. Economists and trade analysts can still use the file to explore long-run regional export composition within the published coverage window. Official metadata documents these classification and coverage changes for responsible interpretation.
