Economic Performance in First Quarter 2025
Based on advance estimates, the Singapore economy grew by 3.8 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, slower than the 5.0 per cent growth in the previous quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy contracted by 0.8 per cent, a reversal from the 0.5 per cent expansion in the fourth quarter of 2024. This was due to sequential declines in manufacturing and some outward-oriented services sectors such as finance & insurance in tandem with slowing external demand.
