Singapore's economy seen to grow at slowest pace in 10 years


Singapore

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s central bank is reviewing its 1.5%-2.5% economic growth forecast for this year and isn’t ruling out off-cycle monetary easing as the US-China trade war roils the export-dependent economy, its chief Ravi Menon said.

Singapore’s economy is expected to grow at its slowest pace in a decade this year, and some are predicting a recession in 2020, with the high-tech manufacturing hub more vulnerable to the trade war than others in South-East Asia.
