  • Data from IHS Markit showed Singapore MAY PMI at 54.4 from 51.8 previously. Commenting on the latest survey results, Jingyi Pan, Economics Associate Director at IHS Markit, said: "May PMI data reflected a still-expanding Singaporean private sector economy, although the return of Phase 2 restrictions dampened the optimism with regards to future output.
