Singapore to release detailed Q2 GDP data next Tuesday

The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) will release detailed data on gross domestic product (GDP) for the second quarter next Tuesday (Aug 11) at 8am.

The Economic Survey of Singapore for the quarter will include information and data on the overall GDP performance of the economy, sectoral performance, sources of growth, inflation, employment and productivity, the ministry said in a statement.

The advance reading of Singapore’s second-quarter GDP, released by MTI on Jul 14, showed that the Republic’s economy expanded by a slower-than-expected 1.7 per cent compared with a year earlier.
