SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's September non-oil domestic exports (NODX) grew 3.1% year-on-year, official data showed on Monday, slower than the previous month and missing forecasts due to declines in shipments for the Chinese and Hong Kong markets.

Economists had expected 7.1% growth in a Reuters poll. Exports had grown 11.4% in August.

On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, NODX fell 4%, Enterprise Singapore data showed, versus the prior month's 3.9% decline. Economists had forecast a 2.1% decline.
