Which regions in Singapore are expected to see the largest outflow of spending?

Question

Accepted Answer

Singaporean Spending Outflows to Johor Bahru Projected to Be Concentrated in Non-Central Areas

Singapore residents are anticipated to increase their annual spending in Johor Bahru by S$1.05 billion upon the commencement of the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link in 2027. This projected surge in outbound spending from Singapore is expected to surpass the anticipated S$756 million increase in spending by Johor Bahru visitors in Singapore. Consequently, Singapore is forecast to experience a net annual outbound spending increase of approximately S$290 million, representing 0.4 per cent of the country's total retail and food and beverage sales projected for 2025.
West Region to Experience Largest Net Spending Decline

The western region of Singapore is projected to face the most significant net outflow of consumer spending, with an estimated S$104 million decline. This outflow is attributed to the anticipated increase in Singaporeans travelling to Johor Bahru for shopping and other activities facilitated by the RTS Link.
North-East and North Regions Also Face Substantial Spending Reductions

Following the west, the north-east region of Singapore is expected to see a net decline in spending of S$103 million. The northern region is also anticipated to experience a considerable outflow, with a projected net spending decrease of S$82 million.
East Region to See Moderate Spending Outflow

The eastern part of Singapore is forecast to experience a more modest net outflow of spending, estimated at S$25 million. While these non-central areas are projected to see the largest outflows, central areas of Singapore could potentially benefit from increased spending by Johor Bahru visitors.
