SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's industrial output in July grew 0.6% year-on-year, well below forecasts, partly due to a decrease in the output of electronics and biomedical manufacturing, official data showed on Friday.
Economists had expected a 5.3% year-on-year increase in July, according to a Reuters poll.
On a month-on-month and seasonally adjusted basis, industrial production decreased 2.3% in July. Economists had forecast 0.9% growth.
