DBS: Singapore GDP to Double by 2040, Dollar May Reach Parity with USD

SINGAPORE: DBS Group Research predicts Singapore’s economy will double in size by 2040, reaching between US$1.2 trillion and US$1.4 trillion from US$547 billion in 2024. The report projects an average annual GDP growth of 2.3 percent, outpacing other advanced economies. DBS attributes this to disciplined fiscal policies, strong capital inflows, productivity gains, and a persistent current account surplus that could push the Singapore dollar to parity with the US dollar.

The bank also highlighted a bullish shift in the Straits Times Index, which broke past 4,000 in 2025. Singapore’s capital markets are being further strengthened through the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s S$5 billion equity market development programme.
