A brief account of Singapore' s economic history was presented and the rationale of industrialization was derived therefrom. The resource base specific to the industrial development process in the Republic and the role of the Government in the initiation and guidance of that process were thereafter identified. The growth of the manufacturi.ng sector and the performance of the industrial major groups comprising that sector for the period 1960-1971  were analyzed in terms of number of establishments, employment, output, gross value added and direct exports. The impact of foreign investments  and the Pioneer Industries Program on manufacturing: growth and development was then assessed. The structure and characteristics of the manufacturing sector were  presented and discussed. This was followed by a detailed study of the development and characteristics of the textile and. garment industries. Finally, the present state of development of the manufacturing sector was discussed. The future development potentials of the  manufacturi.ng sector were identified and the areas where attention on relevant policy ·should be devoted were delineated. Recommendation  for future work were then enumerated. 0aTextile industryxSingapore1 aPakorn Adulbhan, eChairperson1 aSharif, M.
