n fact, both men also saw eye to eye on a number of issues.
One such issue is the coordinated lifting of the government guarantee on bank deposits, with the earliest possible date being the end of 2010.
Mr Goh said: "We have come to an agreement that we should work together to decide when the bank guarantee (on non-bank deposits in commercial banks) would have to be lifted. If we do not coordinate, we'll be waiting for each other (to lift it) and the bank guarantee may be more prolonged than necessary."
SM Goh also mooted the idea of closer economic cooperation between Singapore and Hong Kong on potential projects in the Pearl River Delta, particularly Guangzhou. - CNA /ls
