Retail sales in Singapore grew to S$4.4 billion in November 2025, up by 6.3% on-year and exceeding the 4.4% growth in October. The computers and telecommunications equipment sector logged an increase of 14.8%, while watches and jewellery rose 12.9%. Petrol station takings slid 6.7%, while food and alcohol sales dipped 3.1%. Analysts have cautioned that the uneven growth across sectors may cause consumers to hold back on spending this year. Beatrice Yap reports.
