Employment continued to grow strongly as the
economy maintained its rapid expansion. Preliminary estimates show that

Singapore outlook for 2007 and 2008 |
|
Nonetheless, financial markets have
rebounded recently and underlying economic conditions remain
supportive. GDP growth is therefore on track to come in at the
upper end of the 7-8% forecast range this year, up from the
4.5-6.5% forecast during the April review... |
|
In the Singapore economy, growth will
be led by non-IT manufacturing, construction and business
services, which have built up a strong momentum and are more
dependent on regional and domestic sources of demand as well as
developments in specific product markets. |
|
At this stage, our assessment is that
the Singapore economy is likely to expand at a slower rate in 2008
than in the recent past, reflecting weaker global economic growth.
Singapore¨s GDP growth rate is expected to come in within its
potential of 4-6% next year... |
