Singapore Economic Outlook
June 21, 2022
First-quarter GDP growth was revised upwards to 3.7% from a preliminary reading of 3.4%. Manufacturing growth was stronger than previously estimated, while robust private consumption was supported by the reopening of the economy. Moving to the second quarter, the economy seems to be performing solidly. Industrial production expanded at a robust pace in April, supported by the transport engineering sector. Moreover, in April and May the manufacturing and electronics PMIs remained in expansionary territory. On the downside, export growth cooled in April, weighed down by Covid-19 lockdowns in China, although it regained traction in May. Meanwhile, the IMF concluded its Article IV Mission in late May, praising the government’s tightening monetary policy stance and prudent normalization of fiscal policy following its timely policy response to the pandemic.Singapore Economic Growth
GDP should expand at a healthy pace this year, as private consumption, fixed investment and manufacturing activity benefit from the removal of Covid-19 restrictions. That said, a weaker external environment will limit the pace of expansion. The main downside risks stem from supply chain disruptions due to China’s zero-covid strategy and high energy prices. FocusEconomics panelists project the economy to expand 3.8% in 2022, which is unchanged from last month, and to grow 2.9% in 2023.Singapore Economy Data
