Singapore economy to retain outlook despite GST rate hike: Moody's

Moody’s Analytics expects the economy to grow by 4.6% in 2022.

Moody’s Analytics stood its ground as the research group kept its projected economic growth at 4.6%.

This follows last week's announcements by the Singapore government and its budgets, such as a planned GST hike in 2023, green ambitions, and pandemic-related support.

The current outlook also falls within the current projection of the trade ministry between 3% to 5%, with the current Omicron wave also expected to not hit the economy.

According to Denise Check, Moody’s Analytics, author of the analysis, this is due to a higher vaccination rate and rollouts of booster shots. The year is also expected to see the country focusing instead on curbing rising inflation pressures and other long-term priorities.

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.
