Singapore's industrial production in July rose 19 percent from a year ago on solid contributions from the electronics sector and transport engineering, the government said Thursday.
Last month's industrial scorecard was within market forecast for a 17.021.5 percent increase and little changed from the 19.2 percent jump in output recorded in June.
Electronics, the backbone of Singapore's manufacturing activity, posted the biggest production rise of 30.9 percent in July, the Economic Development Board (EDB) said.
This was followed by transport engineering which grew 28.9 percent; bio-medicals 20.9 percent; precision engineering 13.6 percent; chemicals 4.0 percent and general manufacturing industries 1.0 percent.
US jobless claims rise

The queue of people filing new claims for jobless benefits grew last week, hurt by damage to businesses caused by Hurricane Charley, a US government report showed Thursday.
The number of new claimants for unemployment benefits rose 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 343,000 in the week ended August 21, after dipping 1,000 the previous week, the Labor Department said.
Charley, which killed 20 and shuttered many businesses in Florida and neighboring states August 13 and 14, caused about half of the gain in unemployment claims, a government official said.
A four-week average of new jobless benefit claims, which smoothes out weekly distortions, dropped 750 to 336,750.
