Singapore economy to grow by 3.7% in 2015: MAS

More than the price increase of goods.

The country will experience a slightly better year in 2015 in terms of overall economic growth, a sign that is is already picking up from 2012 lows.

Singapore’s economy is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2015, while CPI-All items and MAS core inflation are forecast to be 2.2% and 2.5% respectively.

As reflected by the mean probability distribution, the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by 3.0 to 3.9% next year.

The median CPI-All Items inflation forecast for 2014 fell to 1.8%, from the 2.2% reported in the previous survey.
For Q3 2014, CPI-All Items inflation is projected at 1.8%. The respondents also expect MAS Core Inflation to be 2.2% in 2014, slightly lower than the 2.4% in the June 2014 survey.

As for the labour market, the respondents expect the unemployment rate to be 2.0% at year-end.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
