BREAKING: Singapore Upgrades Third-Quarter GDP
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore’s economy contracted much less than initially estimated in the third quarter due to gradual easing of COVID-19 lockdown measures and authorities expect the city-state to bounce back to growth next year from its worst recession.
Gross domestic product (GDP) fell 5.8% year-on-year in the third quarter, the ministry of trade and industry said on Monday, versus the 7% drop seen in the government’s advance estimate.
Analysts expected a 5.4% contraction, according to the median of 10 forecasts.
The government said it now expects full-year GDP to contract between 6.5% and 6% versus its prior forecast for a 5% to 7% decline.
The country is still facing the biggest downturn in its history.
