SINGAPORE -- Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) announced on Friday that the country's manufacturing output grew 30 percent year on year in May, compared to the revised 2.3 percent increase in the previous month.
The stronger increase was attributed partly to the circuit breaker measures in May 2020, which include closing most physical workplace premises.
Excluding biomedical manufacturing, the output grew 29 percent year on year this May, compared to the 11.3 percent growth in April. (Singapore-Manufacturing Output-Increase)
