Domestic economy under threat from China slowdown, oil and gas weakness: MAS

But G3 recovery might give some respite.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today warned that the domestic economy is under threat from the slowdown in China, corporate realignments in the IT industry and continued weakness in the oil-related transport engineering sectors.

However, a firmer recovery in the G3 will provide a broad-based boost to the external-oriented sectors of the economy.

In its semi-annual Macroeconomic Review released today, the MAS reiterated that after two quarters of uneven growth, the profile of the domestic economy for the rest of the year will be shaped by various crosswinds.

"A firmer recovery in the G3, particularly the US, bodes well for Singapore’s export-oriented industries. However, China’s economy could be held back by property market weakness, consolidation within heavy
industries and the temporary effects of ongoing structural reforms. While the Singapore economy remains closely tied to improving final demand in the developed markets, China’s weakness will have some
impact on domestic GDP growth," stated the MAS.

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.
