Economists trim Singapore’s 2015 growth forecasts in latest MAS poll

Growth in Q4 will also be weaker than expected.

The local economy is forecast to expand by 3% in 2014 and 3.1% in 2015, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Survey of Professional Forecasters which was released today.

MAS notes that the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by 2.0 to 2.9% next year, lower than the 3.0–3.9% range reported in the last survey.

For Q4 2014, the respondents expect GDP to expand by 2.3%. This is lower than the 3.1% forecast
in the previous survey.

The respondents expect the economy to grow by 3.0% in 2014, a decrease from the 3.3% median
forecast in the previous survey.

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.
