SINGAPORE: Singapore's economic growth is expected to weaken in the second half of the year due to global headwinds, after the country reported an unexpectedly strong growth in the first half, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Wednesday (Jul 30).  That could spill over into domestic oriented sectors such as retail and food and beverage, which have experienced sluggish or negative growth in the first six months of the year, in contrast to the overall economy. Across the whole of 2025, MAS expects growth to be "more resilient this year than previously envisaged". Gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to be "relatively subdued" for the rest of the year, the central bank said in its latest quarterly macroeconomic review, pointing to weakness in trade-related and modern services sectors.   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/mas-macroeconomic-review-gdp-economic-growth-5266231 (ICE SINGAPORE)
