陈振声点评我国经济成长预测 称准备迎接挑战惟不需过于悲观
昨日,有鉴于持续的低迷、不确定性和中美贸易冲突,新加坡贸工部宣布对2019年的国内生产总值(GDP)经济成长预测,下调至“0.0至1.0巴仙”之间。
对此贸工部长陈振声在脸书也点评最新的经济成长预测,他坦言,下行的风险增加,美中贸易冲突升级且可能旷日持久;英国“无协议”脱欧等不确定因素也浮上台面,但面对这些挑战的也不仅仅是新加坡一个国家,全球经济都在萎缩。
“我们应做好准备迎接挑战,但不必过于悲观。我们仍能吸引良好投资这一事实,反映了投资者们对我们长期价值的信心。”
他说,就在上月,芬兰纳斯特石油公司(Neste),将再投资14亿欧元(约21亿新元)扩大在新加坡的再生能源产能。
陈振声重申政府将继续监督局势,因为每个经济周期的情境都不同,必须采取适当措施支持本地企业和劳工。
在上月,国际货币基金组织(IMF)称,因全球贸易紧张局势影响外部需求,将2019年新加坡经济增速预测,放缓至两巴仙。
