Article Abstract:
The construction industry of Singapore is expected to be insulated from the worst of the Asian economic crisis, as its growth is primarily domestic-based. Expansion of the country's public works projects is continuing, with 1998 commercial construction predicted to reach $1.11 billion. Private sector construction demand may go as high as $3.33 billion by 2000.
