SINGAPORE, Oct 14 — Singapore’s economy grew by 5.4 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) in the third quarter (3Q) of 2026, moderating from 6.2 per cent growth in the previous quarter, according to advance estimates from the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry (MTI).

On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally adjusted basis, the economy expanded by 1.1 per cent, easing from 1.5 per cent growth in the second quarter, it said in a statement today.

MTI said the manufacturing sector grew by 7.5 per cent y-o-y in 3Q, slowing from 12.9 per cent growth in the previous quarter.

The growth was supported by output expansions in the electronics, precision engineering, transport engineering and general manufacturing clusters, which outweighed declines in the chemicals and biomedical manufacturing clusters.
