Singapore economic recovery continues though GDP growth ebbs slighty

Though the quarter-on-quarter expansion shows the city-state's economy is recovering from the impact of the coronavorus pandemic and related restrictions, it was down on the 3.8 per cent reported for the closing three months of last year.
