2021 wage growth likely to be 'relatively muted': MAS
Singapore

"Resident wage growth is anticipated to rise only slightly from the 1.4 per cent recorded last year, in part reflecting its lagged response to improving labour conditions," the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in the review published on Wednesday.
