SINGAPORE -- Singapore revised up gross domestic product growth for the January-March quarter to 1.3% from a preliminary result of 0.2%, on the back of strong export demand.

The government on Tuesday also maintained its economic growth outlook for this year, at 4% to 6%, even as rising COVID-19 cases at home and abroad hit business activity.
