While these figures may be affected by inward migration, i.e. wealthy people moving to Singapore, it is notable that the increase in assets held in private hands coincided with a drop in liabilities — particularly in personal loans, which are typically most costly and taken to finance current spending.

Given the rising interest rates, it makes sense to reduce your outstanding liabilities, but it also shows that Singaporeans were able to do so, paying off S$10 billion in non-motor vehicle loans (even as credit card debt increased by S$2 billion at the same time).
