SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Trade and Industry Ministry (MTI) has raised its 2025 economic growth forecast on a better-than-expected first half year performance, but warns that the outlook remains clouded by uncertainty over the potential impact of US tariffs, with risks to the economy still tilted to the downside.
The gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast was raised to 1.5% to 2.5%, from an earlier range of 0% to 2%, MTI said yesterday.
