[SINGAPORE] The Asian Development Bank (ADB) trimmed its full-year growth projections for all major South-east Asian economies – save for Vietnam with a slight lift for the year – with Thailand and Singapore facing the steepest downgrades of at least a whole percentage point. The downward revisions reflect persistent global growth deceleration, heightened trade uncertainty and domestic challenges, said the multilateral development bank on Tuesday (Sep 30) in an update to its flagship outlook report published every April. ADB also expects the boost from the tariff front-running, which buoyed the region’s exports in the first half of the year, to evaporate.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/asean/adb-slashes-2026-growth-outlook-thailand-singapore-nearly-half (ICE SINGAPORE)
