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

DBS Research forecasts Singapore’s GDP doubling by 2040, with the Straits Times Index nearing 10,000 and currency 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.
