important policy issues.
• Resilience of the Singapore economy to the shocks in
global financial systems and the weakening of the United States economy.
• Is the boom in the
property sector creating excesses or distortions? The risks of asset price
inflation and its impact on monetary policy are assessed.
• Retirement
funding: Is there a need for Singapore to progress towards a multi-pillared
system where the CPF system is complemented by other elements such as a
state pension or tax-incentivised discretionary savings schemes?
