What are the Singapore economic sectors performing the best?

Once again manufacturing was the industry performing the best during the spring, as the factory activity has increased for the eighth month in a row in April. The services, construction and retail were the other industries performing above the expectations during the same month. According to economists at Nikkei Singapore, it has to be taken into account these numbers show the results of Singapore private companies without factoring in the production of public companies, therefore the overall output and new orders are higher than these.

Even if the prices also rose a little as are result of increasing demands, companies had announced at the time that these rises were modest and the competition among retailers limited the higher costs incurred on consumers. Even so, the good results registered by private companies are expected to have a positive effect on investments and employment in the near future.
