Given the location of the newly found clusters especially in wet markets and food centres, these places serve a porous group of people, including vulnerable seniors, which then ‘increases the risk of undetected cryptic transmission,’” said UOB Economist Barnabas Gan, partially referencing a Ministry of Health announcement.\nThe economy as a whole might not suffer as much as the above sectors, Gan added, given the high growth seen in the manufacturing, finance and insurance, business services, and infocomm sectors.\n“While Phase 2 (HA) will likely impact the services sector, especially the food & beverage and retail industries, Singapore’s externally-facing sectors should remain relatively unscathed,” he said.\nFor its part, OCBC Bank called the return to Phase 2 (HA) a “setback” to economic growth, which was expected to recover in the second quarter.\n“The fiscal impact could be cumulative, depending on whether policymakers can squeeze out more from development project deferrals/savings and whether the duration is extended beyond one month. Hence, a larger FY21 deficit may be reasonable to expect if there are more of such episodes, and a tap on reserves may also be possible,” OCBC said in a report.\nOCBC said gross domestic product growth could fall under 7% this year following the reinstatement of tighter restrictions, whilst UOB, represented by Gan, retained its 6.5% forecast.\nThe government, in the announcement made by the Ministry of Health, said that it will announce a support package for affected businesses and workers in the coming days.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":175206006,"gmtCreate":1627031757005,"gmtModify":1703482840327,"author":{"id":"3554873215379647","authorId":"3554873215379647","name":"Jenjorjack","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9d4687aa5519f0d2fb1b18f916be861","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84d87792f02cf78e80ee34979fd31e5","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Any help is appreciated during such times.
