Singapura, The Business Times, Inglês – Economists stick to 2025 Singapore growth outlook, but warn of downside risks

External headwinds could include Trump’s expected tariff plan, rise in geopolitical tensions

PRIVATE-SECTOR economists largely kept to their 2025 growth forecasts for Singapore, after the fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 gross domestic product figures exceeded market expectations.

Yet they also warned of significant downside risks to the outlook, such as United States president-elect Donald Trump’s tariff plan and intensification of geopolitical tensions.

“Growth momentum in trade-related sectors – including manufacturing – should be sustained into early 2025, supported by the ongoing upturn in the electronics cycle, with tailwinds from some front-loading of exports and the attendant ramp-up of production ahead of Trump’s proposed tariffs on US imports,” said UOB associate economist Jester Koh.

CATHERINE NAULUTA Lusaka A DISPUTE over family properties has led a 50-year-old soldier of Lusaka West to drag his two older sisters to court. David Banda alleged that his sisters Ruth and Maggie Banda have been the only ones benefitting from the properties despite having a younger sister that came back home after a failed marriage.
