DBS economists Radhika Rao and Mo Ji have projected Singapore's GDP growth for the second quarter of 2026 to reach 5.8% year-on-year, alongside a 1.5% quarter-on-quarter increase on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to FX Street.
This forecast indicates a robust economic expansion compared to the first quarter of 2026, underscoring Singapore's continued recovery and growth momentum in the region.
