The S&P Global Singapore PMI eased to 56.7 in March 2026 from February’s near-record 59.2, but still signaled a 14th straight month of private sector expansion and remained well above its long-run average. Both output and new orders rose at softer rates, while buying activity slowed to a three-month low. Meanwhile, preproduction inventories rose rapidly, with the rate of accumulation accelerated to a pace not seen since data collection began more than 13 years ago. Hiring remained strong but moderated as backlogs accumulated less sharply. On prices, input cost inflation surged to a survey high, prompting firms to raise output charges at a substantial pace—slightly above February’s record—as businesses sought to protect margins by passing costs to customers. Finally, business sentiment held broadly steady and well above average, supported by strong pipelines and expectations of firmer demand ahead. source: S&P Global
