You asked the Committee to build on the Economic Strategies Committee’s work in 2010, and to take a fresh look to address the new challenges we face. 2. Members of the CFE were drawn from diverse backgrounds, including government, private sector, and the labour movement. The Committee, Subcommittees and working groups benefited from the contributions from employers and workers, academics, professionals, students, private companies, public agencies, unionists, trade associations and chambers, as well as Singaporeans abroad. In total, more than 9,000 people contributed their ideas and energies. 3. The CFE has completed its work and now submits its key recommendations. 4. Since 2010, we have made good progress in nurturing a highly-skilled people, growing an innovative economy, and building a distinctive global city. However, the world today is very different from the start of the decade. It has seen unexpected events, overlaid with longer-term structural changes. First, global growth has been subdued and is expected to be lower than the previous decade. Second, we are in an era of rapid technological change, and global value chains and production patterns are changing rapidly. Third, political uncertainty has risen as political parties respond to the anxiety of some segments of the population to turn inwards and protectionist. All these are significant changes which are still playing out. We have to make plans and be prepared to cope with these changes and uncertainty. 5. The CFE assessed that Singapore is starting from a strong position, and we are confident we can chart a new course. There are many opportunities for us to innovate, deepen our capabilities, remain open and connected, and stay relevant to the world. The US and Europe continue to have innovative companies and people, whom we can work with. We also see strong market potential in many parts of Asia – in particular ASEAN, China, and India – as well as in emerging markets farther afield. Singapore is also well-poised to tap into several growth sectors, driven by factors such as the rise of the middle-class and urbanisation in Asia. 6. Our vision is for us to be pioneers of the next generation. We have identified seven mutually-reinforcing strategies that will maximise the chances of Singapore’s success. First, Singapore needs to deepen and diversify our international connections, and continue to support free and open markets. Second, we will build on SkillsFuture, and support the acquisition and utilisation of deep skills. Third, we need to strengthen enterprise capabilities so that our companies are innovative and competitive. Fourth, we need to develop strong digital capabilities and support the pervasive adoption of digital technologies across all sectors of the economy. 7. To support these four strategies, three key enabling strategies will have to be put in place. First, we must invest in Singapore’s physical and social infrastructure to ii support these strategies. Second, we need to ensure the execution of these strategies is done in an integrated way, through the Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs). The ITMs can address the specific needs and possibilities in each industry, and realise synergies across industries. Finally, we need to partner each other to enable growth and innovation. Our ability to work with and trust one another will be our distinct competitive advantage and the key to the successful execution of the strategies we have laid out. 8. We believe our strategies will create an economy that offers ample opportunities, with all Singaporeans enjoying sustainable wage growth and meaningful careers. Together, we will build a Singapore of global relevance; a Singapore that can ceaselessly reinvent herself and grasp new opportunities. We are prepared for tomorrow. 9. We thank you for the privilege of serving on the CFE. iii 8 February 2017 Mr Heng Swee Keat Minister for Finance Co-Chairman, Committee on the Future Economy Mr S Iswaran Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) Co-Chairman, Committee on the Future Economy Thank you for your letter dated 7 February 2017, submitting the recommendations of the Committee on the Future Economy (CFE). The world is going through a period of great uncertainty. Significant structural shifts are taking place in many countries. Industries and jobs are changing rapidly. Amidst the disruption, there will also be opportunities. We cannot be sure which industries will perish and which will flourish. What is certain is that Singapore must stay open to trade, people and ideas, and build deep capabilities so that our people and companies can seize the opportunities in the world. The CFE has proposed a comprehensive set of recommendations to guide our economic strategy for the next 5 to 10 years. The Government accepts the strategies proposed and will pursue all of them. Ministers will provide a full response during the 2017 Budget Speech and Committee of Supply debates. Developing the strategies is the first step. The strategies are our guide but what counts is how well we implement them to transform our economy. This will require difficult trade-offs as our resources are limited and we have to take calculated bets. We will take a hard-headed, pragmatic approach. When results are promising, we will vigorously pursue them. When a scheme does not look like it is going anywhere, we must have the courage to cut losses. That is how we progressed for the past 50 years and the only way to continue progressing in future. iv 8 February 2017 Mr Heng Swee Keat Minister for Finance Co-Chairman, Committee on the Future Economy Mr S Iswaran Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) Co-Chairman, Committee on the Future Economy Thank you for your letter dated 7 February 2017, submitting the recommendations of the Committee on the Future Economy (CFE).

  • The Landscape for Impact Investing in South Asia
    THE LANDSCAPE FOR IMPACT INVESTING IN SOUTH ASIA Understanding the current status, trends, opportunities, and challenges in BANGLADESH, INDIA, MYANMAR, NEPAL, PAKISTAN, and SRI LANKA WITH SUPPORT FROM Maps within the report are based on UN maps. Source: UN Cartographic Section FOREWORD DEAR READERS, The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) is pleased to publish The Landscape for Impact Investing in South Asia, in partnership with Dalberg Global Development Advisors and with support from UK aid from the UK Government through the Department for International Development’s Impact Programme. The first regional market landscape report developed by the GIIN, this report provides a comprehensive overview of the impact investing industry in South Asia, focusing on the countries of Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Through this research, and additional upcoming regional landscaping studies, the GIIN aims to deepen our understanding of investor opportunities at a country- specific level. The impact investing industry is relatively young, and so the degree of market development varies from one country to the next. This variation is present in South Asia, one of the least developed yet most populous regions in the world—a region with significant potential for impact investing. If we are to accelerate impact investing in South Asia, an understanding of the current state of the market is critical in identifying opportunities for and challenges to deploying impact capital and growing the industry. Through our partnership with Dalberg, a firm with a strong track record in global development and investment research, we were able to conduct a detailed analysis of capital flows and the current state of impact investing in South Asia.

  • Monthly Snapshot: September 2019
    t Monthly Snapshot: September 2019 y PINETREE CAPITAL Page | 1 In our monthly analysis of this month’s news and developments in the fintech, cryptocurrency, blockchain, startup and venture capital sector, we look at mergers and acquisitions, investments, trends, partnerships for the region’s leading movers and shakers. September has been an eventful month highlighted by highs and lows including the continuing Grab-GOJEK rivalry as both unicorns trying to expand their operations on each other’s turf by diversifying their services in different market segments while considering a partnership to help the Indonesian government set up a smart city initiative as the transfer of the country’s capital to Kalimantan is in the pipeline. The biggest story of the month, and perhaps this year, is the resignation of Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma from the company that he founded and brought to the top of the Mt. Olympus of global e-commerce. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s ambitious attempt to buy the London Stock Exchange for $39 billion was met by a rude rebuke by the latter. President Narendra Modi’s government is considering a massive overhaul of the Indian banking sector as it attempts to force a series of mergers of its ten state-owned banks in order to strengthen it amidst growing debt back dropped by a five-year low economic growth. The London-based insurer Prudential is currently embroiled in a massive lawsuit against its former Singaporean agent Peter Tan Shou Yi for instigating an en masse defection of over 200 agents into rival insurer Aviva.
