Business expectations in Singapore strengthened notably in the third quarter of 2026, with the key indicator rising to 24.00 from 12.00 in the previous quarter. The data, updated on 02 November 2026, suggests that corporate sentiment has improved significantly compared with the second quarter of 2026.
The doubling of the indicator from 12.00 in Q2 2026 to 24.00 in Q3 2026 points to growing confidence among businesses regarding near-term activity and conditions. While the underlying drivers of this shift are not detailed in the latest release, the numbers alone indicate that firms are entering the latter part of the year with a more optimistic outlook than earlier in 2026.
