Headline inflation is expected to stay negative.

Economists and analysts have trimmed the economy's full-year growth prospects to 1.8% in Monetary Authority of Singapore's latest survey of professional forecasters. This result is slightly below the 1.9% reported in the previous survey.

Experts have also trimmed their consumer price index forecasts to -0.4% from -0.2% in the previous survey. Loan growth is also expected to drop to -0.2%, from 1.0% in the previous survey.

For the second quarter, respondents expect GDP to grow by 2.0%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
