新加坡金融管理局（简称：金管局）周三表示，新冠大流行造成的新加坡经济衰退可能比之前的衰退程度更深、持续时间更长。
金管局表示，由于公司和家庭受到收入减少和不确定性增加的制约，预计随后几个季度的复苏步伐将放缓。金管局在其半年度宏观经济评估报告中表示，一些经济领域，尤其是与旅行相关的领域和一些人与人之间接触较多的国内服务业，即使到2021年底也不太可能恢复到疫情前的水平。
金管局表示：“疫情冲击的性质使得这次危机比过去的经济衰退程度更深，而且可能更持久。”
该央行表示，新加坡劳动力市场的复苏可能是不均衡和缓慢的。居民失业率可能在2021年保持高位，工资增长保持低位。
金管局还表示，通胀只会从低谷逐步回升。对于2021年，预计整体消费者价格指数(CPI)将在下降0.5%至上升0.5%之间，核心CPI升幅预计在0.0%至1.0%之间。对于2020年，整体和核心CPI可能都在下降0.5%至上升0.0%之间。
金管局重申，货币政策将在一段时间内保持宽松。10月该央行维持新加坡元名义有效汇率政策区间的零斜率不变，并暗示一段时间内宽松货币政策立场将是适宜的。
金管局称：“这将支持新加坡经济度过脆弱的复苏期，并确保中期价格稳定。”
