GDP up 1.2% in 2023: MTI

GDP also grew by 2.8% in 4Q23.

The Singapore economy grew by 1.2% in 2023, but its rate is significantly lower than the 3.6% growth in 2022.

Meanwhile, GDP in 4Q23 grew by 2.8%, up from the 1.0% growth in the previous quarter.

This growth is due to the rise evident in various sectors including manufacturing, construction, retail, transportation, and communications.

In 4Q23, the manufacturing and construction sectors saw a YoY increase of 3.2% and 9.1% respectively.

Wholesale and retail trade and transportation and storage sectors also grew by 1.5% YoY.

In addition, information and communications, finance and insurance, and professional services sectors grew by 3.9% YoY.

Other sectors including accommodation and food services, real estate, administrative and support services grew by 2.0% YoY in the same period

MTI will release the preliminary GDP estimates for 4Q23 and the whole of 2023 in February 2024. This will include performance by sectors, sources of growth, inflation, employment, and productivity.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
