Upside Risk To Singapore's GDP

The Singapore government released their GDP forecast and then narrowed their target for the year from 1-3% to 2-3%. We ask Carlos Casanova, Senior Economist, UBP if there is downside or upside risk to this data point. We also dive into the last PPI figures from Japan and how that will inform the BOJ's monetary policy.
