[SINGAPORE] Private-sector economists have raised their 2026 growth projections for the Republic to 5 per cent, from 3.5 per cent previously.
The median forecast in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) latest quarterly survey of professional forecasters is close to the upper end of the official forecast range of 4.5 to 5.5 per cent.
Most respondents in the September poll, released on Wednesday (Sep 2), still see no immediate change in monetary policy – but expectations have shifted further towards tightening.
