Singapore’s economy expanded by 5.9% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, slightly above the previously recorded 5.7% growth rate for the same period, according to data updated on 11 August 2026.
The current reading, measured on a year-over-year basis, indicates that the pace of expansion in the second quarter has modestly strengthened compared with the earlier 5.7% figure, which also reflected year-on-year growth. Under the comparison methodology, both the previous and current indicators represent changes in GDP relative to the same quarter a year earlier.
The latest revision suggests that Singapore’s economic momentum in Q2 2026 was marginally stronger than initially assessed, pointing to a continued solid expansion over the period. Investors and analysts are likely to monitor subsequent releases to see whether this upward adjustment signals a more sustained acceleration in growth.
