Singapore's economic growth to accelerate in 2024: report

Experts expect the country's economy to grow by 2.7% in real terms next year.

Singapore will be amongst the countries that will see an acceleration in economic growth in 2024, according to Mastercard Economics Institute (MEI).

In a report, MEI said Singapore's economy will grow by 2.7% in real terms, up from 0.9% in 2023.

MEI said stabilisation in external trade will accelerate the growth of Singapore's economy in 2024.

Meanwhile, MEI also reported that in 2024, local consumers will reprioritise their spending to manage a higher cost of living and debt servicing.

"Compared to 2019, Singapore consumers have allocated a smaller share of their wallets to discretionary spending and a larger share to essentials spending in 2023, reflecting a more prudent approach to managing their finances," MEI said, adding that this trend is especially evident among mass market consumers.

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.
