Economic growth slows down in 2022

For the full year, GDP only increased by 3.8%.

The Ministry of Trade's (MTI) advance estimates showed that the growth of Singapore's gross domestic product (GDP) decelerated in 2022.

Based on the MTI's report, GDP grew by 3.8% in 2022, slower than the 7.6% growth in 2021.

This after GDP's growth further dropped to 2.2% in Q4, mainly due to the 3.0% contraction in Manufacturing and smaller growths across industries.

In Q4, MTI said the manufacturing sector contracted due to decreases in the electronics, chemicals and biomedical manufacturing clusters.

Meanwhile, services sectors namely Wholesale & Retail Trade and Transportation & Storage; Information & Communications, Finance &
Insurance and Professional Services; and Accommodation & Food Services, Real Estate, Administrative & Support Services and Other Services grew slower by 2.3% YoY, 2/9%, and 8.2% YoY, respectively.

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.
