MTI to release Q3 GDP estimates on October 14

The monetary policy decision will be issued as well.

Analysts forecasting a slower growth for the city-state will either be proven right or wrong as the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) announces Q3 GDP estimates next Friday.

According to MTI, it will release the estimates on October 14, around 8 a.m., the same time the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will announce its policy decision.

To recall, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said the city-state's economy is in for a tough period, with concerns over Brexit and weakening global demand weighing down economic growth forecast to 1-2%.

Meanwhile, a central bank survey revealed that economists and experts expect Singapore's trade-dependent economy to grow 1.8% this year.

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.
