Singapore's gross domestic product surged a seasonally adjusted annualized 15.2 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the previous three months, the Ministry of Trade and Industry said in Friday's advance estimate.
That blew past expectations for an increase of 8.0 percent following the 1.8 percent increase in the first quarter.
On a yearly basis, GDP expanded 3.7 percent - also topping forecasts for an increase of 2.0 percent after adding 0.2 percent in the previous three months.
