GIC did not generate wealth and productivity for Singapore.
where u hear from? What school of economic theory ia that?Singapore is awash with all kinds of illegal laundered and tax avoidance money. If the peoceeds are not remitted overseas, this will be inflate the currency and create all kinds of cost escalation such as too high property prices if compared to our neighbours.
Norway doing tbe same thing.where u hear from? What school of economic theory ia that?
the velocity of money causes high inflation, not the money stored in bank accountsNorway doing tbe same thing.
Every tom dick and harry indonesian and maybe even malaysian timber, coal mining, palm oil plantation have trading arms in sinkie. They buy and sell these commodities here. Money moves in and out from here and probably never reach places where the commodity came from.the velocity of money causes high inflation, not the money stored in bank accounts
Norway is different, they are not money launderers

Then you add in refined and crude oil trading from two huge refineries and petrochemical plants. Excess are deposited locally maybe to escape taxation. This is a country of only 6 million.
What are the banks suppose to fo with all that money deposited?eh thambi, inflation not caused by deposited money la. only if they spend it then will cause prices to rise, ie inflation.
this happens when demand outstrips supply. ask any hawker and they can explain this to you. or look back at WW2 Singapore and the Japanese banana notes.

Exactly. And GIC.lend to temasick![]()
the seeds of inflation are sowed by the government, mega projects, and the PAP grew an usustainable debt bubble based on land value. and kept productivity low. When PAP gov generated high inflation, they took back higher GST and Taxes. and the cycle perpetuates. This is keynsian economics, an accident waiting to happen. The covid was just the pin that pricked the bubble. So if GIC had invested in local productivity(instead of mega projects), it will not cause high inflation, because there is less debt hot air in the country.Every tom dick and harry indonesian and maybe even malaysian timber, coal mining, palm oil plantation have trading arms in sinkie.

how would you invest in local productivity?the seeds of inflation are sowed by the government, mega projects, and the PAP grew an usustainable debt bubble based on land value. and kept productivity low.
