Singapore's economy to return to growth in 2021 after worst slump


SINGAPORE, Nov 23 (Reuters): Singapore's economy contracted less than initially estimated in the third quarter due to the gradual easing of Covid-19 lockdown measures and authorities expect the city-state to bounce back to growth next year from its worst recession.

Gross domestic product (GDP) fell 5.8% year-on-year in the third quarter, the ministry of trade and industry said on Monday, smaller than the 7% drop seen in the government's advance estimate.
