Singapore’s record AI boom unlikely to move central bank, analysts say

Singapore’s electronics exports grew at an unprecedented pace in August as the artificial-intelligence boom shows no signs of waning. While boosting the city-state’s economy, the surge is unlikely to stoke price pressures and push the central bank toward aggressive tightening, according to analysts. Data released Thursday showed electronics exports last month rose 132% from a year ago.

Shipments of personal computers — which include server racks used by data centers — were up 238%, while disk drives climbed 214% and integrated circuits up 91%.
