SINGAPORE – Singapore’s economy could more than double by 2040, with the Singapore dollar potentially trading 1-for-1 against the US dollar and the Straits Times Index (STI) climbing to 10,000 points over the 15-year period, the Republic’s largest bank said in an Oct 22 report.

The DBS Singapore 2040 report, which outlines the bank’s projections for the economy, forecast that Singapore’s gross domestic product could reach between US$1.2 trillion (S$1.56 trillion) and US$1.4 trillion by 2040 from US$547 billion in 2024, driven by capital accumulation, human capital development and productivity gains.

It said the Republic’s growth has been underpinned by institutional strength and rising educational quality, which have helped sustain the country’s competitiveness over the past few decades.

[SINGAPORE] The Straits Times Index (STI) could rise to nearly 10,000 by 2040 if historical return patterns hold, according to DBS’ Singapore 2040 report.

The Singapore dollar could also reach parity with the US dollar by 2040, amid policy and safe-haven appeal, said the report released on Wednesday (Oct 22).

Many Singapore employees say their pay has not kept up with inflation, while payroll teams face burnout from mounting compliance demands.​

Half of Singapore’s workforce seems to be experiencing financial stress, according to Deel’s 2025 Singapore Payday Expectations Report. The study highlights that while payroll teams manage unprecedented compliance-driven workloads, most employees report their pay has not kept pace with inflation.

These pressures increase the risk of payroll errors and employee disengagement, pointing to the urgent need for businesses to modernise payroll systems.

The study was conducted in July 2025 via a quantitative online survey using Milieu Insight’s panel. It collected responses from 1,000 full-time employees and 250 payroll decision-makers across SMEs, mid-market and large enterprises. The report combines insights from both employees (B2C Payday) and employers (B2B Payroll).
