FCA journalists are cordially invited to a virtual media briefing organized by the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) to discuss the latest growth prospects, risks, and policy considerations for the Singapore economy as it transitions to the endemic new normal.

With the current resurgence of COVID-19 infections, what is the economic outlook for Singapore in 2021 and 2022? What are the key factors affecting the country’s recovery and stability?
