Singapore's manufacturing production unexpectedly rose by 0.5% yoy in August 2022, beating market consensus of a 0.6% drop and following a 0.8% gain in July. While growing for the 11th straight month, the latest print was the softest pace in the sequence, amid the impact of the COVID-19 hit. Growth was mainly supported by the output of biomedical manufacturing (11.1% vs -10.5% in July), led by pharmaceuticals; transport engineering (32.8% vs 19.2%), driven by marine & offshore, and aerospace; general manufacturing (18.8% vs 15.1%), due to food, beverages, and miscellaneous; and precision engineering (2.9% vs 13.7%), linked to machinery. By contrast, production fell for both electronics (-7.8% vs -5.9%), linked to semiconductors, other electronic modules, and communications; and chemicals (-11.2% vs 5.7%), attributed to petrochemicals, specialties, and others. On a monthly basis, manufacturing output grew by 2.0%, the first increase in three months, and was above consensus of 1.5%. source: Singapore Economic Development Board
