Singapore lowers 2015 growth forecast to ‘close to 2%

Singapore’s economic growth will dip to “close to 2%” this year after the city-state avoided a technical recession, the government said on Wednesday, with a potential further slowdown seen in 2016.

The decline from a growth rate of 2.9% in 2014 reflects the impact on Asia of slowing demand for its exports from major world economies including the United States, China and Europe.

For 2016, trade-dependent Singapore’s gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow between 1% and 3%.

The latest forecast by the Trade and Industry Ministry is on the lower end of an earlier projection of 2%-2.5% growth.
