Economic growth slows down in 2022

For the full year, GDP only increased by 3.8%.

The Ministry of Trade's (MTI) advance estimates showed that the growth of Singapore's gross domestic product (GDP) decelerated in 2022.

Based on the MTI's report, GDP grew by 3.8% in 2022, slower than the 7.6% growth in 2021.

This after GDP's growth further dropped to 2.2% in Q4, mainly due to the 3.0% contraction in Manufacturing and smaller growths across industries.

In Q4, MTI said the manufacturing sector contracted due to decreases in the electronics, chemicals and biomedical manufacturing clusters.

Meanwhile, services sectors namely Wholesale & Retail Trade and Transportation & Storage; Information & Communications, Finance &
Insurance and Professional Services; and Accommodation & Food Services, Real Estate, Administrative & Support Services and Other Services grew slower by 2.3% YoY, 2/9%, and 8.2% YoY, respectively.

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.
