Singapore’s exports declined more than expected in June as electronics shipments remained weak, suggesting challenges ahead for the trade-reliant economy.

Official data Wednesday showed non-oil domestic exports declined 8.7% from a year earlier, steeper than the median expectation for a 1.3% contraction in a Bloomberg survey. That follows a revised 0.7% decrease in May.
