Singapore’s GDP contracts in Q1 2025

Singapore’s economy experienced a contraction of 0.8% on a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis in the first quarter of 2025, according to advance estimates released by the Department of Statistics.

This marks a reversal from the 0.5% expansion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The unexpected downturn has prompted a revision of the GDP growth forecast for 2025. Initially projected to be between 1.0% and 3.0%, the forecast has now been downgraded to a range of 0.0% to 2.0%.
