The economy expanded 26.0 percent in the April-June period on an annualized and seasonally adjusted basis.
International Enterprise Singapore, the country's trade agency, also said non-oil domestic exports (NODX) jumped 28.7 percent in June from a year earlier.
Singapore now expects its economy will grow by 13-15 percent this year, up from a previous forecast of 7-9 percent, while NODX is expected to expand by 17-19 percent, up from the earlier projection of 15-17 percent.
