Summary:

This detailed monograph on the history of economic growth in Singapore during the twentieth century provides economic data on the GDP of the city-state under both pre-World War II colonial management, as well as later growth programs established under the independent government. Early data has been estimated through a thorough examination of expenditures and revenue evidence from periods when no specific GDP data was gathered and has been compared to the more recent calculations from modern government sources. The volume provides a large collection of data including tables and graphs and charts. Sugimoto is with the Asia-Europe Institute, University of Malaya, Malaysia.
