SINGAPORE - Singapore’s economy in the first three months of 2024 grew at its weakest quarter-on-quarter pace in a year as manufacturing slowed, but economists see growth strengthening ahead. |
On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally adjusted basis, the economy expanded by 0.1 per cent in the first quarter, down from the 1.2 per cent growth in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to advance estimates released on April 12 by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI). OCBC Bank chief economist Selena Ling noted that quarter-on-quarter growth was the slowest since the first quarter of 2023. It is also lower than the 0.5 per cent gain tipped by analysts in a Bloomberg poll.
But, said Ms Ling: “Importantly, there was no change to the 2024 official growth forecast of 1 per cent to 3 per cent year on year, or to the headline and core inflation forecasts of 2.5 per cent to 3.5 per cent year on year. “Singapore’s growth trajectory is tipped to strengthen for the subsequent quarters of 2024, predicated on an improvement in the manufacturing recovery theme, especially for electronics, and accompanied by the financial sector in anticipation that risk appetite should be buoyed by the global monetary policy easing cycle in the second half of 2024.” Maybank economist Chua Hak Bin said the economy is cruising once again, but the growth is somewhat uneven.

Dr Chua added that revenge travel may lose some steam for the rest of the year even though it made a strong comeback in the first quarter. In the services sectors, wholesale and retail trade, and transportation and storage collectively grew 2.7 per cent year on year in the first quarter, up from 1 per cent in the previous quarter. Sectors comprising the information and communications, finance and insurance and professional services sectors grew 4.2 per cent year on year in the first quarter, faster than then the 3.6 per cent growth in the previous quarter. MTI said growth in the information and communications sector was bolstered by continued strong demand for information technology and digital solutions, while that in the professional services sector was mainly driven by the head offices and business representative offices segment. The accommodation and food services, real estate, administrative and support services and other services sectors expanded by 2.9 per cent year on year in the first quarter, up from 2 per cent in the previous quarter. |
