Growth of over 2.5% expected despite global risks: PM Lee

Singapore

NOTWITHSTANDING global risks stemming from trade tensions, Singapore is likely to have "another good year" ahead, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday.

Economic growth this year is expected to be 1.5 to 3.5 per cent "and if all goes well, we should do better than 2.5 per cent," he said at the labour movement's May Day Rally.
