Singapore's economic growth to accelerate in 2024: report

Experts expect the country's economy to grow by 2.7% in real terms next year.

Singapore will be amongst the countries that will see an acceleration in economic growth in 2024, according to Mastercard Economics Institute (MEI).

In a report, MEI said Singapore's economy will grow by 2.7% in real terms, up from 0.9% in 2023.

MEI said stabilisation in external trade will accelerate the growth of Singapore's economy in 2024.

Meanwhile, MEI also reported that in 2024, local consumers will reprioritise their spending to manage a higher cost of living and debt servicing.

"Compared to 2019, Singapore consumers have allocated a smaller share of their wallets to discretionary spending and a larger share to essentials spending in 2023, reflecting a more prudent approach to managing their finances," MEI said, adding that this trend is especially evident among mass market consumers.

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.
