Singapore Q2 economic growth seen sluggish, keeps central bank pressured

Singapore's economy is expected to have grown at a tepid pace in the second quarter and the combination of a strong currency and free-falling consumer prices could force the central bank to ease monetary policy further.

Some analysts also warn of rising recession risks for the small, trade-reliant city-state especially after the shock of Britain voting to leave the European Union is expected to hurt global growth on top of stress in China's economy.
