Singapore GDP growth forecast at 5% in 2011

Despite the 14.9% yoy GDP growth for 2010, GDP growth should moderate to around 4-5% in 2011.

OCBC said that manufacturing growth should also normalise to a more modest single-digit growth given the high base. Market expectations have been set fairly low for the G3 economies and there could be potential upside surprises in terms of external demand.

The upcoming FY2011 Budget is likely to focus on investments in key economic infrastructure like housing, transport, education and healthcare.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
