Singapore economy to grow with disinflation and robust travel recovery

Disinflation and improving labour markets may boost spending on discretionary items such as electronics and furniture.

Singapore is expected to benefit from easing inflation and reduced monetary policy pressures, with inflation levels projected to stabilise at approximately 2-3%, Mastercard said.

According to its report, Mastercard noted that disinflation and improving labour markets are predicted to boost spending on discretionary items such as electronics and furniture. Experiences like major events and travel continue to be prioritised by consumers.

Travel recovery remains robust but below pre-pandemic levels, with consumers favouring affordable alternatives for experiences and destinations.

Mastercard also noted that as global policies evolve, potential trade disruptions and shifts in monetary strategies in major economies may influence Singapore’s economic trajectory.

Additionally, the report emphasised trends in pricing, migration, and gender-focused labour participation (“SHEconomy”), which could shape consumer behaviors and economic strategies in Singapore.

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.
