"In our Temasek Review last year, we reported an annual value-at-risk of almost S$40 billion last March. This meant a 16 percent probability for our portfolio value to drop more than S$40 billion by March this year. Indeed, it has turned out to be so, and more," CEO Ho Ching said in a speech.
Temasek had S$185 billion in assets as of end-March 2008, which fell to S$127 billion as of November 2008. Ho did not give the exact portfolio level.
This was the first public comment by Ho, also the wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, after Temasek said last week that Charles "Chip" Goodyear will not become CEO due to differences over strategy.[ID:SIN435934]
Ho said Temasek would continue to look at internal and external candidates for her replacement.
