Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper discussing statistical data available from Singapore and the concern for economic growth at the end of 2008. Singapore's economy depends heavily on manufacturing, specifically in information-related hardware. Rather than the 6 percent growth anticipated for 2008, the Wall Street meltdown has led the government to downgrade estimates to 3 percent growth for the year, including a decline of 0.5 percent in the third quarter led by a decline in manufacturing by 11.5 percent. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
of Singapore has a mature economy as defined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that continues to thrive despite the economic problems that the region has experienced

Wall Street meltdown has led the government to downgrade estimates to 3 percent growth for the year, including a decline of 0.5 percent in the third quarter led by a
decline in manufacturing by 11.5 percent (MTI Revises 2008 Growth to Around 3.0 per cent, 2008). This is the identified economic concern for Singapore in upcoming months. Finding Data
The government of Singapore maintains excellent information in a wealth of categories. Some Asian governments are less then forthright with the information
they make public, but Singapore is not among them. It provides high-quality, accurate information in the categories it tracks. Whereas economic growth data from some Asian governments is
