Getting Singapore in shape: Economic challenges and how to meet them
Bhaskaran, Manu | June 2018
Abstract
This Analysis assesses the two main adjustment mechanisms for dealing with such challenges: the government’s top-down policy interventions and the more spontaneous bottom-up adjustments by companies. It argues that Singapore’s economic model may not be evolving quickly enough to allow the country to adjust successfully to its domestic and external challenges. It also argues that bolder and more rigorous changes are needed in the policy sphere to overcome these challenges.
