Singapore economy predicted to grow 2.9% this year

A little higher from previous forecast.

According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore's September 2013 survey, for the full year of 2013, economists and analysts have raised the median growth forecast for the Singapore economy to 2.9% in 2013, from 2.3% in the previous survey.

The September 2013 Survey was sent out on 12 Aug 2013 to a total of 26 economists and analysts who closely monitor the Singapore economy. This report reflects the views received from 19 respondents (73% responses rate).

As reflected by the mean probability distribution, the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by between 2.0-2.9% in 2013. Although this was unchanged from the last survey, there was an increase in the projected probabilities of GDP growth falling above 2.9%.

For Q3 2013, the economists, expect GDP to expand by 4.0%. This is higher than the 3.5% that was reported in the earlier survey.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
