Parking app out today

A new iOS parking app will be launched today (July 26) to provide motorists with real-time data on parking spaces. The Park&Go@ SG app will enable those who drive to check parking spaces in retail, commercial and government buildings as well as HDB carparks. The app is a joint effort of Germany-based auto supplier Continental Automotive and A*Star's Institute for Infocomm Research, as well as TUM Create, which is a collaboration between the Nanyang Technological University and the Technical University of Munich. An Android version of the app was launched in November last year.

US Democratic convention to start

Singapore industrial figures out today

South Korea to announce Q2 GDP figures

Weak exports and capital investment continues to undermine growth in South Korea, which is set to announce its second quarter GDP figures today (July 26). Economic growth is expected to show little improvement versus the first quarter in sequential terms. The economy was expected to expand by 0.7 per cent in the second quarter from the first on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to analysts, accelerating slightly from 0.5 per cent growth in January-March.

Second quarter growth data, if weak, is unlikely to surprise markets as both Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju Yeol and Finance Minister Yoo Il Ho have expressed concerns of a weakening in private consumption on top of underlying softness in the economy.
