The ministry has previously forecast 2026 GDP growth at 1.0 per cent to 3.0 per cent. Singapore's exports to the United States are subject to a 10 per cent tariff. Broader sectoral tariffs could hurt demand for Singapore's exports, including semiconductors, consumer electronics and pharmaceutical goods.
