Singapore economy likely down 2.5% in 3Q

Trump's victory seen a major recession risk catalyst.

Singapore's economy is expected to have contracted at a less steeper pace than first estimated, but the city state remains at risk of a recession due to weak exports and uncertainty around global trade after Republican Donald Trump's U.S. election win.

A Reuters survey of 17 analysts forecast July-September gross domestic product (GDP) to be down 2.5 percent from the previous quarter on an annualized basis, versus the advance estimate of an unexpectedly sharp 4.1 percent contraction.

The upward revision was likely helped by industrial production in September exceeding forecasts, although the bigger picture for the affluent city state was one of intensifying headwinds in the wake of Trump's upset win.

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.
