SINGAPORE -- Singapore on Wednesday upgraded its growth projection for this year to a range of 6% to 7%, from the previous 4% to 6%, with a roughly 70% COVID-19 vaccination rate enabling plans to gradually reopen more of the economy.
That would bring economic output for 2021 above the 2019 level. The city-state's economy contracted 5.4% last year.
