Singapore Dec output set to rise 9.5% y-o-y, risks to outlook seen

SINGAPORE (Jan 24): Singapore's industrial production in December is expected to have continued to rise on an annual basis, a Reuters poll showed, though there are doubts over the sustainability of the increase and risks to the outlook from the new US administration's trade policies.

The poll of 11 analysts forecast manufacturing output in December to be up 9.5% on a year-on-year basis, according to the median forecast.

On a month-on-month and seasonally adjusted basis, however, manufacturing output is expected to have shrunk 5.8%.
