Market Growth Projections
Singapore's market growth for June 2024 was recorded at 4.5%, and this momentum is expected to carry through into July 2024 with a projected growth rate of 4.8%. This steady growth is fueled by a robust services sector, strong trade performance, and ongoing investments in technology and innovation.
