what happened
Singapore’s advance third-quarter GDP figures, due Wednesday, are expected to show the economy expanding 5.1% from a year earlier. That is the median estimate from a poll of 10 economists conducted by The Wall Street Journal, compared with 5.9% growth in the second quarter.
Economists at Moody’s Analytics said exports and industrial output continue to benefit from the artificial-intelligence boom. They also noted that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is hurting manufacturing industries dependent on chemical feedstock supplied from the Gulf.
Six economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal estimate that Singapore’s economy grew 1.3% quarter over quarter on a seasonally adjusted basis. The corresponding increase in the second quarter was 1.4%.
why it matters
The expected moderation keeps attention on Singapore’s external demand and manufacturing base. The data may also highlight the contrasting effects of strong artificial-intelligence-related exports and disruptions affecting access to industrial inputs.
