SINGAPORE: Singapore's annual economic growth expanded 1.2pc in the first quarter of 2019, final official data showed on Tuesday, and the government revised down its full-year-growth forecast to 1.5pc-2.5pc.
The first quarter reading was down slightly from the 1.3pc growth seen in the government's advance estimate and was below the 1.5pc growth forecast in a Reuters poll.
On a seasonally adjusted and annualised quarter-on-quarter basis, growth in the January-March period was at 3.8pc, higher than the advanced estimate of 2.0pc and the poll forecast of 2.3pc.
