    SINGAPORE’S economy is not expected to sink into decline just yet, with overall growth tipped to remain positive into 2023 despite a sluggish second quarter.

    Still, gross domestic product (GDP) growth looks headed for a sharp slowdown, with watchers warning that the outlook for the year ahead is highly uncertain.

    That’s as global recession risks – including in Singapore’s key trading partners – are expected to rise on global central banks’ aggressive containment of soaring consumer prices.
