Why It Matters: This encouraging Q4 growth comes on the heels of Singapore's impressive economic performance in 2021. Singapore's economy registered a 7.2% growth in 2021, its highest in over a decade, bouncing back from a 5.4% contraction due to the pandemic in the previous year. The news of this robust growth positively impacted U.S.-listed companies in Singapore, with shares of companies such as CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (OTC:ACDSF), Keppel Corp Ltd (OTC:KPELY), and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (OTC:SGAPY) going up.
