Productivity growth has been on the decline - and the central bank anticipates it to come in below last year's 2.5 per cent, especially as economic output falls in a cooler climate.

This comes after the High Court of England and Wales last month recognised the reprieve granted by the Singapore High Court to H&C S Holdings from its creditors as the troubled iron ore trader works on its restructuring plan.
