Singapore's economic activity showed a slight dip in April 2024, as indicated by the latest S&P Global Singapore Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). The PMI for April stood at 50.5, down from 50.7 in March 2024. This decrease suggests a marginal slowdown in the country's manufacturing sector during the period.

The data, which was updated on 2nd May 2024, provides valuable insights into Singapore's economic performance and reflects the challenges faced by the manufacturing industry. Despite the slight dip, a PMI reading above 50 still indicates expansion in the sector, albeit at a slower pace than the previous month.

As Singapore continues to navigate economic trends and global uncertainties, monitoring key indicators like the PMI can offer important signals for policymakers, businesses, and investors to make informed decisions regarding the country's economic outlook and potential growth trajectories.
