Singapore's economy expanded 1.3% yoy in Q1 2021, compared with an advance estimate of a 0.2% growth and a final 2.4% contraction in Q4. This was the highest GDP reading since Q4 2018, amid further progress in the domestic COVID-19 vaccination drive. The manufacturing sector grew stronger than initially thought (10.7% vs 10.3% in Q4), boosted by rises in the electronics, precision engineering, chemicals, and biomedical clusters. At the same time, the construction sector shrank less (-22.7% vs -27.4%), amid falls in both public and private construction works. Also, services activity fell much slower (-0.5% vs -4.7%), due to slower drops in food & beverage services, real estate, and transportation & storage; and an expansion in wholesale trade, and information & communication. On a quarterly basis, the economy grew 3.1%, the least in three quarters. For 2021, Singapore maintains the GDP growth forecast at 4 to 6%, citing the larger-than-usual degree of uncertainty due to the pandemic. source: Statistics Singapore
