Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM) announced that, based on preliminary estimates, the seasonally adjusted overall unemployment rate edged up to 2.1% in March, compared with 2% previously. The resident unemployment rate rose to 2.9% from 2.8%, while the citizen unemployment rate increased to 3.1% from 2.9%.

MOM stated that Singapore's labour market remained resilient in 1Q26, with employment expanding for 18 consecutive quarters since 4Q21. Total employment increased by 5,000, higher than the increase of 2,300 in 1Q25 but lower than the increase of 17,700 in 4Q25. Excluding seasonal effects, employment growth accelerated YoY but moderated QoQ.

Looking ahead to 2Q26, the labour market is expected to remain tight and continue expanding. However, amid heightened economic uncertainty triggered by geopolitical developments, companies are expected to stay cautious regarding hiring and wage plans.

MOM's survey showed that the proportion of Singapore-based firms intending to hire over the next three months fell sharply to 44.6% from 54.6% in February. Meanwhile, the share of firms planning to raise wages declined to 25.4% from 39.3% in February. (da/a)~
