Retailing in Singapore

The impact of restrictions was not consistent across all channels within retailing in Singapore. In 2021, strict movement restrictions resulted in a decline in retail salespeople. Malaysian staff members are commonplace in several retailing channels, including traditional grocery retailers. Singapore is also highly dependent on tourists, and it is common to see retail outlets employing native Japanese and Korean speakers.
