Singapore Retail Sales Growth Slows to 1.5% in July

Singapore’s retail sales continued to expand in July, although annual growth slowed considerably from the previous month.

Retail sales increased 1.5% year over year in July, down from a 4.0% increase previously, pointing to a moderation in consumer spending growth.

On a monthly basis, retail sales rose 0.9%, matching the previous month’s increase.

The figures suggest Singapore’s retail sector maintained positive momentum in July, but the slowdown in year-over-year growth indicates consumer demand expanded at a more moderate pace compared with the previous period.
