Singapore economy grows 2.6% in Q1

The Singapore economy grew by 2.6% on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter of 2015, faster than the 2.1% growth in the preceding quarter, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

In a statement, the MTI said the gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for 2015 is maintained at 2% to 4% .

 On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted annualised basis, the economy expanded by 3.2%, moderating from the 4.9% growth in the preceding quarter.

The manufacturing sector contracted by 2.7% year-on-year, extending the 1.3% decline in the previous quarter.

This was primarily due to the decline in the output of transport engineering, electronics and biomedical manufacturing clusters.
