Singapore - BNP årlig tillväxttakt

The economy of Singapore advanced 0.5 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2019, well above the upwardly revised 0.2 percent expansion for the previous quarter and matching expectations, a final reading showed. As a result of the favourable reading, the Ministry of Trade and Industry narrowed the 2019 GDP growth forecast to “0.5 to 1.0 percent” from “0.0 to 1.0 percent”.

The economy of Singapore advanced 0.1 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2019, the same pace as in the previous period but missing market consensus of a 0.2 percent expansion, an advance estimate showed. This remained the weakest growth rate since the second quarter of 2019, when the economy shrank 1.2 percent, amid a further contraction in manufacturing output and a slowdown in the services and construction activities. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted annualised basis, the economy grew by 0.6 percent in the three months to September, after a downwardly revised 2.7 percent contraction in the second quarter and below expectations of a 1.5 percent expansion.

The economy of Singapore advanced an annual 0.1 percent in the second quarter 2019, unrevised from a preliminary figure and slowing sharply from a 1.1 percent expansion in the previous period, final data showed. This marked the lowest growth rate since the second quarter 2009, mainly weighed down by a slump in manufacturing output. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted annualised basis, the economy shrank 3.3 percent, compared to the preliminary figure of a 3.4 percent contraction and reversing from a 3.8 percent growth in Q1. It was the steepest quarterly contraction since Q3 2012 when the reading showed a 4.1 percent fall. Meantime, amid escalations in global trade tensions and a struggling manufacturing sector, the Ministry of Trade and Industry revised lower 2019 GDP growth forecasts to be in a range of 0 to 1% from an earlier projection of 1.5 to 2.5%, with growth expected to come in at around the mid-point of the forecast range.
