Singapore’s economy strengthened in the first quarter of 2026, with year-over-year GDP growth rising to 6.0%, up from a previously recorded 5.7% in the same quarter a year earlier.

According to data updated on 25 May 2026, the latest figure represents an acceleration in annual growth when comparing the first quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2025. The previous reading of 5.7% was also measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2024.

The improvement signals a modest but notable pickup in economic momentum, indicating that Singapore managed to build on last year’s solid expansion at the start of 2026. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming quarters to see whether this faster pace of growth can be sustained.
