MAS notes that the most likely outcome is for the Singapore economy to grow by 2.0 to 2.9% next year, lower than the 3.0–3.9% range reported in the last survey.

For Q4 2014, the respondents expect GDP to expand by 2.3%. This is lower than the 3.1% forecast
in the previous survey.

The respondents expect the economy to grow by 3.0% in 2014, a decrease from the 3.3% median
