Singapore Government: Recession not rule out as Singapore exports fall

A decline in Singapore's August exports, the fourth straight month of decline, has raised the risk of a technical third-quarter recession.

Just in June 2008, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore Finance Minister, has said that Singapore is not heading for a recession in 2008. But the continued decline in exports has now raised concern about a possible recession. In an e-mailed response to an Associated Press inquiry, Tharman said that a recession "cannot be ruled out".

Singapore's Trade Minister Lim Hng Kiang was quoted as saying the economy may grow below the government's forecast of 4%-5% this year as the global credit crisis hurts demand for exports.
