MTI anticipates that Services will surpass Manufacturing as the chief propellant of growth in 2019 said, Loh. This is in terms of overall GDP of Singapore even as manufacturing gets sluggish over the surge in the last 2 years, said the Permanent Secretary.
The balance is likely to shift to an extent in 2019 as manufacturing could witness comparatively moderate growth said, Loh. Services also will be affected by the moderate growth in regional and advanced economies. However, some resilience will be offered by domestic services. Thus, the growth composition will alter to some extent, he added.
