Chart of the day: Professional forecasters predict 4.8% economic growth in Q2

They expect GDP to expand by 3.8% by the end of 2022.

This chart from the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Survey of Professional Forecasters shows the economic growth median forecast of 26 economists and analysts who closely monitor the Singapore economy compared to the actual result.

MAS said that in the first quarter of 2022 the economy expanded by 3.7% year-on-year. This was in line with the respondents’ median forecast in the previous survey. In the current survey, respondents expect the economy to grow by 4.8% in the second quarter of 2022.

Meanwhile, the respondents expect the gross domestic product to expand by 3.8% in 2022, down from 4% in the previous survey.

“As reflected in the mean probability distribution, the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by 3% to 3.9% this year, with an average probability of 43.6%,” MAS said.

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.
