THE government is watching closely how the economy will pan out by the end of the year, and stands ready to take action when needed, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Friday.
He was responding to statistics released by the Economic Development Board on Thursday, which showed that Singapore's manufacturing output fell 8 per cent year-on-year in August on the back of sharp falls in electronics and precision engineering output.
