SINGAPORE -- Singapore's economy grew 1.2% last year, according to preliminary data released on Tuesday, avoiding a recession amid a global economic slowdown stemming from high interest rates.
Annual gross domestic product growth was slower than the 3.6% recorded in 2022, as the trade-reliant economy logged sluggish exports due to weaker demand from key trade partners like the U.S., Europe and China.
