Forward And Backward Linkages (Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2017)
What this data shows
Published by Singapore Department of Statistics. 105 records. Fields include Coefficient, (Linkage) Forward, (Linkage) Backward (3 columns in total). Last updated 2026-03-25.
Description
Forward and backward linkage coefficients for Singapore's industries, from the Supply, Use and Input-Output Tables 2017 published by the Singapore Department of Statistics. Forward linkages are supply-oriented and measure how much an industry depends on purchases by downstream industries, while backward linkages are demand-oriented and measure dependence on production by upstream industries. The compact CSV lists both coefficients for around a hundred industry categories. Economists and industrial-policy analysts use the measures to identify key sectors, map inter-industry dependence, and assess how shocks propagate through the economy.
