SINGAPORE'S negative output gap could close by mid-2022 at the earliest, as a broad recovery swept across all sectors in the third quarter, according to advance estimates on Thursday (Oct 14).
Gross domestic product (GDP) in Q3 grew 6.5 per cent year on year, data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) showed, coming in just a notch below the 6.6 per cent growth that private sector economists' polled by Bloomberg had predicted.
