Chart of the Day: These 3 economic sectors are struggling to gain traction

Singapore's GDP is then expected to grow a measly 2.2% in 2017.

Singapore's economy will be hit by a double whammy and will therefore underperform into 2017, according to BMI Research.

"We retain our real GDP growth forecasts at 1.7% and 2.2%, respectively, for 2016 and 2017. Singapore's economic slowdown is broad-based, with both structural domestic factors and external demand woes playing a part in the city state's prolonged malaise."

But if it's any consolation, the analyst believes the economy's strong foundation should be sufficient to stave off a recession over the near-to-medium term. There is, however, little impetus for a significant pick-up in activity.

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.
