Economists cut 2024 growth forecast for Singapore

They expect GDP to expand by 2.3% in 2024, down from the previous estimate of 2.5%.

Economists and analysts have slightly become less positive about Singapore’s economic performance for 2024, the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Survey of Professional Forecasters unveiled.

According to the survey, experts have adjusted their predictions for Singapore’s full-year gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 2.3% from the previous 2.5% forecast in September 2023.

Based on MAS’ mean probability distribution of 2024 GDP growth forecasts, Singapore’s economy will likely grow by 2.0% to 2.9% next year.

For 2023, experts predict GDP to expand by 1.0%.

Meanwhile, economists and analysts expect CPI-All Items (headline) inflation and MAS Core Inflation growths for 2024 to come in at 3.4% and 3.0%, respectively.

The growth forecast for 2024 is lower than their expected headline inflation and MAS Core inflation for 2023 at 4.8% and 4.1%, 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.
