Year Ahead 2022: Singapore Reopening & Transforming
Services Laggards & Construction to Catch Up in 2022 We forecast GDP growth moderating from the strong +7.1% in 2021 to +3.8% in 2022 and +2.5% in 2023. A broader services and construction recovery will drive GDP growth in 2022, as the manufacturing momentum eases. Semiconductor production, which accounts for 36% of total manufacturing, is operating near full capacity. With the economic reopening and expansion of Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs), consumer-facing and travel-related sectors – F&B, retail, recreation, hospitality - will catch up and recover more strongly in 2022. Relaxation of border controls will help ease foreign worker shortages, although construction output will likely remain below pre-pandemic levels in 2022. About 86% of the population has received at least one vaccine dose as at 27 November. Booster shots started on 15 Sep, while vaccination of children below 12 years will start early next year.
