Singapore shows strong economic growth
by Brian TurnerSingapore’s economy continued to grow well in 2004, reaching a strong 8.1% for the year.
Manufacturing was especially strong for the year, though overall growth slowed into the fourth quarter, suggesting lower economic growth for 2005 to between 3-5%.
Although GDP also grew 2.4%, it was below market predictations, disappointing analysts.
Overall, strong oil prices had a contracting effect on the Singapore economy, but comes on the back of repeated double figure growth over the past couple of years.
