SINGAPORE - The economy will likely to expand faster than most estimated this year

Central bank survey of 18 economists says this expansion is ‘fueled’ by construction and financial services

The current $134 billion economy is estimated to grow by 7.5 per cent for 2007

This estimated figure will surpass the 6 per cent growth that was forecast by economists in June

To compare, the growth in 2006 is 7.9 per cent for this same period
