Singapore
THE risk of even-tighter Covid-19 restrictions, akin to a second "circuit breaker", has risen in recent days, said economists. But it remains a very small "tail risk" that economists have yet to factor into their gross domestic product (GDP) projections.
Furthermore, Singapore is now better equipped to cope in such circumstances, so the impact of a second "circuit breaker" is unlikely to be as great as the original, they added.
