SINGAPORE — Singapore's economy grew six per cent in the first quarter of 2026 from a year earlier, government data showed on Monday (May 25), higher than an official advance estimate of 4.6 per cent.On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally adjusted basis, gross domestic product expanded by one per cent in the January-March period, compared with an advance estimate of a 0.3 per cent contraction.The trade ministry maintained its growth forecast for this year at two per cent to four per cent, but added that the Middle East conflict has significantly raised downside risks.The conflict has upended global growth and inflation trajectories, throwing interest rate expectations into disarray. As a small trade-dependent hub, Singapore is especially vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and volatile energy prices.Inflation data for April will be released on Monday afternoon.
