Economic News Update
Singapore Raises 2011 Inflation Forecast
After Record Expansion: Singapore raised its
inflation forecast for 2011 after the economy expanded at a
record pace last year, sustaining pressure on the central
bank to allow greater currency appreciation.
Consumer prices may climb 3 percent to 4 percent this
year, up from a previous forecast of 2 percent to 3 percent,
the trade ministry said in a statement today. Gross
domestic product rose an annualized 3.9 percent in the
three months to Dec. 31 from the previous quarter, when it
contracted a revised 16.7 percent, it said. The economy
expanded a revised 14.5 percent in 2010.
Singapore’s growth is forecast to slow in 2011 to less than
half of last year’s pace, when an economic rebound from
the 2009 global recession prompted employers to boost
wages and spurred property prices and tourist arrivals to
unprecedented levels. Still, inflationary pressures may
force the central bank to join other Asian policy makers in
tightening monetary policy.
“The economy should continue to fare well in coming
quarters with services playing a key role,” Vishnu Varathan,
an economist at Capital Economics (Asia) Pte in
Singapore, said before the report. “The risk is that inflation
could rise further to uncomfortably high levels in coming
months. Policy settings will likely have to be tightened
further to keep inflation under control.”
Consumer prices may rise 5 percent to 6 percent in the first
few months of 2011, the trade ministry said. “Thereafter,
inflation should moderate, especially in the second half of
the year,” it said. Inflation accelerated to 4.6 percent in
December, the biggest increase in two years.
The government kept this year’s economic growth forecast
at 4 percent to 6 percent, the ministry said. The fourth
quarter growth rate was revised from a Jan. 3 estimate of
6.9 percent and compares with the 5.3 percent median
forecast of 14 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which uses the
exchange rate as its main tool to manage inflation,
revalued the currency in April 2010 and said in October it
would steepen and widen the currency’s trading band while
