DPM Heng Swee Keat | 5 September 2024
Speech by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat at the Singapore-India Forum 2024 on 5 September 2024.


Singapore’s network of 27 implemented Free Trade Agreements.

Since CECA was signed, annual bilateral trade has grown by 2.5 times – from S$20 billion in 2005 to S$51.2 billion in 2022. Singapore was also the largest external investor into India in FY2022. These stronger trade and investment flows have strengthened our economies and, importantly, created good jobs for our peoples.

This point is worth emphasising – that the Singapore-India partnership, through the decades, has enabled growth and development on both sides. For governments around the world, one of the chief responsibilities is to promote economic growth and development. This is not an end in and of itself. Achieving growth is a means to uplifting the lives and livelihoods of their peoples and improving the prospects of future generations.

Collaborating across borders – to leverage complementary strengths and expertise – is critical to growth and development. Autarky leads to a dead end. Collaboration has been, and will continue to be, the story of the Singapore-India partnership. Two economies of vastly different size, scale and history finding ways to work together with common cause, pursue win-win outcomes and improve the lives of our peoples.

This morning, as part of Prime Minister Modi’s visit, he and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will witness the exchange of a number Memoranda of Understanding between our two countries. These aim to deepen cooperation in areas such as digital cooperation, healthcare and medical education, semiconductor supply chains, and education and skills development. These agreements between governments provide the framework and bridges, but it is the private sector and other stakeholders like universities that must take action to initiate new activities and build new connections. So I encourage all of you here to make full use of these, to shape the next chapter of the Singapore-India partnership.

What does the next phase hold for Singapore-India collaborations? How can we shape and steer them towards even more impactful outcomes? Let me share three suggestions.

First, economic growth will remain a work-in-progress – it is never done, and in fact, will become more complex. It is first useful to see the trajectory of the Singapore-India partnership within the context of the wider Asian growth story. The past 30-plus years of globalisation since the end of the Cold War have helped Asia become the epicentre of global growth. Asia’s share of global GDP has grown from around 20% in the 1970s, to around 45% today.

The steady opening of Asian markets, including India’s, coupled with closer economic integration has had tangible impact on the lives of people in the region. In purchasing power parity terms, GDP per capita in the Asia-Pacific grew by almost 7 times between 1990 and 2023. In the same period, GDP per capita in India specifically grew by almost 8 times.

Today, Asia remains an economic bright spot. The region is projected to contribute almost 60% of real global GDP growth this year. The IMF estimates Asia collectively will grow by 4.5% and 4.3% in 2024 and 2025. This will outpace global growth estimates of 3.2% and 3.3% respectively.

The solution is simple. As someone suggested, Extend the lease of the homes by another 50 years.

Then, cum up a law to "nationalised" low quality building, or building sit on land critical of national development

No problem liao

Am actually worried about this.

 

[nightsafari]

many years also many countries thought that they cannot survive without China market.

However, situation is so different now and many us already surviving without China market

Apple survives without China and producing iPhone 16 in india

Singapore and Taiwan survive without the huge influx of Chinese tourists

Actually that thinking is downright wrong.

It's greed that drives people to China market. The entire thing is about greed. China, CCP, China markets, China customers. All greed driven.

China's success as a manufacturing hub is entirely down to the greed of the West. Greedy companies saw an opportunity to reduce their costs by an unimaginable magnitude. So that's why China got all the contracts. Not the quality of their work, nor the scruples of Chinese companies.

Without greed, China would sink into it's deserving oblivion as a morally bankrupt shithole.

People can survive without China. People can't be greedy without China. China and the Chinese people are one giant nexus of universal greed. That's why they're hated.

Oxford, Ivanhoe, Savills, PropertyGuru Predict APAC Buying Opportunities at Singapore Forum​

2024/09/11 by Christopher Caillavet Leave a Comment

The success of Singapore property owners in staving off discounted assets sales has Southeast Asia’s wealthiest nation playing catch-up in the region’s real estate recovery, even as the market begins to recover, according to top investors, advisors and analysts speaking at Mingtiandi’s annual forum in the city-state on Tuesday.
“In Singapore, I would say, on its own the repricing (of properties) hasn’t been as significant,” said Alessandro Fiascaris, head of APAC at Oxford Properties, the real estate arm of Canadian pension fund OMERS. “It’s probably going to lag a little bit. But even here I think the market is improving.”



Fiascaris made his comments in a discussion with senior executives from Ivanhoe Cambridge, Savills and PropertyGuru in a conversation covering the outlook for real estate markets in the Southeast Asian hub and throughout the broader region.
After a pair of big-ticket deals jolted Singapore’s slumbering office market in the second quarter, the keynote panel of experts see pockets of opportunity arising around the region as major markets look forward to cuts in interest rates.

Green Shoots Detected​

The Lion City saw two large trades of centrally located commercial properties during the April-June period, led by Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust’s sale of the Mapletree Anson office tower in the Tanjong Pagar area to regional private equity titan PAG for S$775 million ($574 million) ― a deal ranking as Singapore’s largest office transaction in two years.

 

[k1976]

In the other transaction, City Developments Ltd bought out the Delfi Orchard tower for S$439 million, with the Singaporean giant believed to be planning to combine the mixed residential and commercial complex with the neighbouring Orchard Hotel Singapore to create a residential, commercial and hotel project.

“The worst seems like it’s behind us,” said Laurent Fischler, head of APAC investments at Ivanhoe Cambridge, a division of Canadian pension fund CDPQ. Zooming out to the broader region, Ivanhoe also favours select asset classes in Japan, Australia and India.






“We’re still very much keen on logistics in most of these markets, and residential,” Fischler said. “So the beds-and-sheds theme, I think, is alive and well.”

Price Gap to Narrow​

Jeremy Lake, managing director for investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, sees ample deal interest despite a persistent gap in pricing expectations between buyers and sellers, which he expects to narrow.

“But the concern I have is that sellers react more quickly than buyers,” Lake said. “By that I mean, the expectation of lower interest rates means that when we speak to sellers, they’ve already factored it in, and they think that interest rates have already gone down 50 basis points, whereas buyers didn’t get that memo yet.”






With strata offices in the city-state trading at 2.5 to 3 percent net yields, these assets remain less than compelling for pure investors, according to Lake. “The motivation to buy for an end user is stronger than it is for an investor at this point in time,” he said. “Things can change.”

Lee Nai Jia, head of real estate intelligence for data and software solutions at PropertyGuru, said data from the company’s platform shows a “sudden shift in terms of optimism” in Singapore’s residential market, with asking prices on the rise. Users are searching around, he said, but transaction volume continues to lag behind.

“And so what we are seeing is that it chimes very well with what Jeremy was saying about the gap, and it’s very real,” Lee said. “We see that prices continue to go up irrespective of whatever noise or negative news. The Singapore property is very resilient in that sense from a seller’s perspective.”
