Loans and advances by domestic banks in the city-state amounted to S$603.4 billion ($433.4 billion) in September, according to data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

That compared with S$603.9 billion in August, which was the largest since November 2015.

Lending to the manufacturing sector slid to S$23.9 billion in September from August's S$25.1 billion.

Housing and bridging loans in September grew to S$189.0 billion from August's S$188.3 billion. In September 2015, housing and bridging loans amounted to S$182.9 billion.
