Singapore says global recession more likely than not happening so what the impact??
..................... 
SINGAPORE: A global recession is "more likely than not" as the U.S.  and European economies are at "stall" speed, Singapore's finance  minister said on Tuesday.
Tharman Shanmugaratnam told a conference that the world has now  "entered a phase where there is a self reinforcing cycle" of a loss of  consumer confidence, which is leading companies to hold back on  investing.
"Asia will not be immune to a global slowdown," Tharman said. The Singapore economy is highly reliant on international trade.
His comments came a few days after the U.S. employment report for  August showed no growth in jobs and the unemployment rate remained at  9.1 percent, deepening concerns that the world's biggest economy may be  tilting toward another recession.
In the latest sign that the economic slowdown may hurt Asia, the  Singapore Institute of Purchasing & Materials Management said on  Monday that the manufacturing sector shrank for the second consecutive  month in August as companies received fewer orders and kept less  inventory.
