A Challenging Future Economy
A recently-released 2017 108-page report by the Committee on the Future Economy reflects how broken the top-down system of Singapore’s economic development has become. It is a classic example of how the planners have been sleepwalking their way into the land of the unknown.
The Committee on the Future Economy (CFE) is a 30-member committee comprising members from different industries that operate in both global and domestic markets, as well as enterprises both large and small. It is co-chaired by Minister for Finance Mr. Heng
Swee Keat and Minister for Trade and Industry Mr. S Iswaran. Minister in the Prime Minister’s
Office Mr. Chan Chun Sing serves as Deputy Chairman.
Manu Bhaskaran, Senior Adjunct Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies,
‘Singapore faces a plethora of big structural challenges such as high costs, loss of competitiveness,
threats to our regional hub position, our failure to boost productivity, weak
innovation outcomes despite immense mobilisation of resources and innovation inputs, weak SMEs and the absence of large private local firms, rising inequality, inadequate social safety nets, especially the inadequacy of CPF to provide sufficient retirement income in cash,’
Jason Tan, an economist at Centennial Asia Advisors, said in a scathing Facebook post,
(It) is disconcerting – even discomfiting – when five ministers on a 30-member panel,
aided by thousands more in sub-groups and consultation groups, cannot come up with
refreshing policy directions to bring Singapore forward.
