Singapore's Retail Growth Likely Subdued Next Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-05 15:44

0744 GMT - Singapore retail growth could be subdued next year, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. Any boost from government vouchers for supermarkets and higher tourist spending are likely to be largely offset by reduced discretionary spending amid softer economic growth, they say. The anticipated end-2026 launch of a rapid rail between the city-state and Malaysia's Johor Bahru could also serve as an overhang going into the year after. Additionally, the analysts expect an absence of government vouchers to weigh on 2027's retail growth. DFI Retail Group is DBS's top consumer pick, given the margin expansion in its health and beauty segment. Among Singapore's retail landlords, the bank likes CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Lendlease Global Commercial REIT as they offer decent projected yields. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
