新加坡经季节性调整的失业率在2025年第一季度从最初估计的2.1%略微下调至2%,而上一季度为1.9%。尽管如此,在经济活动放缓和贸易不确定性持续存在的情况下,这标志着一年来最高的失业率。裁员人数略有下降(第四季度为3590人对3680人),大多数行业的裁员人数稳定或较低。与此同时,总就业增长大幅放缓(第四季度为2400人对7700人),因为居民和非居民就业继续增长,但速度较慢。展望未来,近期全球经济前景仍不确定,尽管新加坡的外部需求前景略有改善,因为主要经济体已采取措施缓和全球贸易紧张局势。
Singapore’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was revised slightly lower to 2% in the first quarter of 2025 from an initial estimate of 2.1%, compared to 1.9% in the previous quarter. Still, this marked the highest jobless rate in a year, amid slowing economic activity and ongoing trade uncertainty. Retrenchments slightly dropped (3,590 vs 3,680 in Q4), with most sectors seeing stable or lower levels of layoffs. Meanwhile, total employment growth eased sharply (2,400 vs 7,700 in Q4), as both resident and non-resident employment continued to rise but at a slower pace. Looking ahead, the near-term global economic outlook remains uncertain, although Singapore’s external demand prospects have improved slightly, given that major economies have taken steps to de-escalate global trade tensions.
