Singapore's economic growth has decelerated in the final months of 2025, with the latest data revealing a GDP growth of 7.8% in the fourth quarter. This marks a notable slowdown compared to a robust 9.8% expansion recorded in the third quarter of the same year.
The quarter-over-quarter comparison reflects a declining trajectory in the city-state's economic performance, as updated data on January 2, 2026, indicates. The drop from the third quarter’s 9.8% growth rate to 7.8% in the fourth quarter signals potential adjustments in economic activities as the nation heads into the new year.
This moderation in growth could be attributed to a range of factors, including global economic uncertainties or sectoral realignments locally. Nonetheless, Singapore's economy remains resilient, and stakeholders will be closely monitoring developments in subsequent quarters to gauge the sustainability of growth patterns into 2026.
