SINGAPORE: Just as things are picking up for some businesses after the toll of a prolonged pandemic, the much-dreaded R-word has re-emerged.
“I’d say that most of the world has adapted to living with COVID-19, so our orders have actually been increasing during this period,” said Ms Joyce Seow, group executive director of contract manufacturing firm Watson EP Industries.
“But now, we are talking about recession again.”
Warnings about another global recession have been sounded – from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at his annual May Day Rally speech to political and business leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
