The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) announced that it expects the Singapore economy to grow between -2.0% and 1.0% in 2009, lower than the -1.0% to 2.0% range it had forecasted in November 2008.

The global economic crisis has worsened since November, with sharp declines in global demand, trade and investments. Since November, analysts have shaded down their growth forecast for the US, Europe and Japan by about one percentage point. The growth outlook for the regional economies has also deteriorated, with more economies now expected to register negative or flat growth next year.

How will these developments affect the wholesale & retail, transport & storage, manufacturing, & financial services sectors in the Singapore economy? How will the slowdown in these sectors spread to the domestically-oriented segments of the economy, such as property, retail, and business services?

Attend our most timely upcoming seminar of the "2009 Business Outlook & Sentiments Series". The speakers will provide you with insights on the local and regional landscape, their impact on the business environment and how the government enhanced financing schemes with additional S$2.3 billion loans can help local firms to gain access to credit in this current economic slowdown.
