TCB's estimates see flat productivity in Singapore last year, down from growth of 1.5 per cent in 2011 and 9.4 per cent in 2010. That's in terms of GDP per person employed. On this basis, the European economies also posted zero productivity growth last year, while the United States, Japan and other mature economies saw 0.5 per cent gains.
