Singapore’s Monetary Authority latest survey shows that economists generally revise upward their forecasts for Singapore’s economic growth in 2026. The survey indicates that the GDP growth rate in 2026 is expected to be around 3.6%, higher than the previous forecast of approximately 2.3%.

Analysis suggests that the global artificial intelligence investment cycle and the rebound in electronics industry demand are key factors driving improvements in Singapore’s economic outlook. Manufacturing and trade-related services are expected to continue being the main growth drivers.

Meanwhile, the Singapore government previously adjusted its 2026 economic growth forecast range to 2% to 4%. Economists say that with the global technology industry cycle warming, Singapore, as a regional trade and financial hub, is likely to continue benefiting from adjustments in the global industrial chain.
