Singapore’s economy is set to post a stronger rebound in 2025 than previously expected, according to UOB’s Quarterly Global Outlook for 1Q 2026. After third-quarter growth came in at 4.2% YoY, the Ministry of Trade and Industry raised its full-year forecast to around 4.0%, whilst UOB projects 4.4%, citing what it described as a “blockbuster” industrial production print in October. Exports are leading the recovery. Non-oil domestic exports rose 22.2% YoY in October, with electronics up 33.2%, reflecting broad AI-related demand across the electronics value chain. On monetary policy, UOB’s base case is for the Monetary Authority of Singapore to maintain a modest S$NEER appreciation of about 0.5% a year through 2026.   https://sbr.com.sg/economy/news/singapores-economy-posts-firmer-rebound-industrial-output-surprises   (ICE SINGAPORE)
