Singapore economists predict GDP to grow 3.8% in 2014

A tad lower than previous forecast.

According to the MAS March 2014 Survey, the Singapore economy expanded by 5.5% in Q4 2013, which was higher than the median forecast of 4.7% reported in the December 2013 Survey. For 2013 as a whole, the economy expanded by 4.1%, coming in above the respondents’ median forecast of 3.8%.

MAS noted that in the latest survey, the forecasters expect the economy to grow by 3.8% in 2014, slightly lower than the previous forecast of 3.9%.

As reflected by the mean probability distribution, the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by between 3.0 to 3.9% this year. For the first quarter of this year, the respondents expect GDP to grow by 5.3%. This is a slight downgrade from the earlier 5.5% forecast.

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.
