These 2 indicators suggest little prospect for a significant economic recovery

BMI Research sees Singapore economy to come in at a middling 2.3%.

According to recent report by BI Research, it sees little prospect for a significant recovery in Singapore's export growth over the coming year amid poor external demand conditions and ongoing domestic structural difficulties.

In line with its expectations for lacklustre real export growth in 2016 (2.2%), it has downgraded it 2015 real GDP forecast to 2.3%, from 2.5% previously.

That said, it retains its view that Singapore's underlying economic fundamentals will remain robust as characterised by a healthy labour market and robust real wage growth.

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.
