The economy expanded by 4.1% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022, dipping from 4.5% in the previous quarter. 

Singapore’s gross domestic product growth was sustained in 2022, offset by the weakening due to the deteriorating global economic environment.

In this light, the Ministry of Trade and Industry revised Singapore’s GDP growth forecast to around 3.5% in 2022 from the 3-4% growth projection in August. 

“Taken together with the mid-year payments, civil servants will receive a total of 1.45 months in full-year AVC, with those in the more junior grades receiving an additional one-time payment of up to $1,100 in 2022,” the announcement also read.
