Singapore’s bank lending rose to a fresh record high of SGD 917.7 billion in May 2026, up from SGD 908.4 billion in April. Business loans increased to SGD 557.8 billion from SGD 551.3 billion, supported mainly by higher lending to manufacturing (SGD 28.1 billion vs SGD 27.3 billion), building and construction (SGD 185.2 billion vs SGD 184.1 billion), transportation, storage and communication (SGD 49.0 billion vs SGD 47.5 billion), and financial and insurance activities (SGD 148.0 billion vs SGD 142.5 billion).

Consumer lending also grew, rising to SGD 360.0 billion from SGD 357.1 billion.
