If it was us, we would go bankrupt. So we are against a unfair trading system that rewards the cronies no matter what.

SINGAPORE - Consumer spending in Singapore is likely to remain robust in 2026, supported by improving job prospects and steady investment returns, economists said.

In 2025, consumers here spent most on travel and household necessities, helped by a strong Singapore dollar and a resilient labour market.

Retail spending in Singapore is forecast to expand by around 3.5 per cent to 4 per cent in 2026, said Maybank senior economist Chua Hak Bin, adding that while this is slower than the pace seen in recent months, it is much faster than the first half of 2025.

The bitcoin price is hoovering at around $90,000 per bitcoin, down from an all-time high of $126,000, while gold and silver have added 20% and 64% respectively as U.S. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent reveals a price game-changer.


Now, as Elon Musk quietly fuels speculation he’s quietly backing bitcoin, gold and silver are predicted to make huge gains through 2026—paving the way for a huge bitcoin price boom.
