A deepening selloff in Chinese stocks is exacerbating a crisis of confidence in the world’s second-largest economy, heaping pressure on policymakers to halt the downward spiral.

A benchmark of the nation’s onshore shares is approaching its lowest close since January 2019, one of many grim milestones that reflect the depth of the gloom in the $8 trillion market.

Down about 7% this year, the CSI 300 Index is staring at an unprecedented fourth annual drop, while an MSCI Inc. gauge of Chinese stocks is heading for its longest stretch of underperformance to global equities since the turn of the century.

SINGAPORE, Sept 6 — The combined fortune of Singapore’s 50 wealthiest individuals has surged by over 10 per cent to US$195 billion (RM844 billion) in 2024, up from US$177 billion the previous year.
Despite this significant rise, their collective wealth still falls short of the US$208 billion recorded in 2021, Forbes Asia said in a statement yesterday.
The latest Forbes list reveals that nearly two-thirds of the individuals featured saw their fortunes increase, buoyed by Singapore’s robust economic growth and a buoyant stock market.

This positive shift is attributed to a series of factors according to Forbes, including the swearing-in of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in May and a boost from the influx of visitors for sold-out concerts by pop star Taylor Swift and rock band Coldplay.
Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook), retains his position as Singapore’s richest individual for the second consecutive year.
His net worth has soared to US$29 billion, marking a remarkable US$13 billion increase from 2023, thanks to Meta’s rising stock prices driven by substantial investments in artificial intelligence.
Holding on to second place are the Ng siblings, Robert and Philip, of Far East Organization, with a combined wealth of US$14.4 billion, despite a slight decrease from US$14.8 billion last year.
