Dealing with economic situation and its impact on Singaporeans a key priority for Govt: PM Wong
Dealing with the economic situation and its impact on Singaporeans is a key priority for the Government, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. He also said he is focused on forming a new and strengthened team in Government to secure Singapore's future. In a video uploaded on social media on May 9, PM Wong said: "The election results have made it clear that Singaporeans want a team that combines experience with fresh perspectives to take our country forward." His update comes six days after an election in which the ruling PAP secured 65.57 per cent of the popular vote, and won 87 out of 97 seats in Parliament. The election win comes amid turmoil in global trade and other crisis hot spots around in the world. In April, US President Donald Trump announced wide-ranging tariffs that hit many nations in the world, including 10 per cent on Singapore. A recent Singapore Business Federation survey found that four in five Singapore businesses are negatively affected by tariffs imposed by the United States, PM Wong said. Three in four firms project a drop in revenues, and half of them said they are holding back on new hires for the next three months. "So clearly, businesses are very concerned," he said. Workers and union leaders are anxious too, and graduating students are worried about the potential difficulties in securing jobs, he said. That is why the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, has been actively meeting to develop and flesh out response plans. They will provide further updates when ready, he said. "DPM Gan is also continuing his discussions with US counterparts, exploring constructive ways to further our trade relations with America," he added. Meanwhile, the Government will roll out the measures announced in this year's Budget to help cushion the immediate impact on jobs and prices, said PM Wong. These include more support for households, like additional CDC vouchers to be issued next week, and SG60 vouchers that will come in July, as well as enhanced support for businesses and workers. Said PM Wong: "The elections are over, and my team and I are busy back at work this week… "We have a full agenda ahead of us. We will continue to do our best for all of you, for Singapore, and for all Singaporeans."

South Korea central bank cuts rate, slashes 2025 growth forecast
[SEOUL] South Korea's central bank cut interest rates on Thursday in a bid to cushion the export-dependent economy from US President Donald Trump's tariff war, as it almost halved its annual growth forecast. The Bank of Korea lowered its benchmark interest rate 'from the current 2.75 per cent to 2.5 per cent' and said it predicted the economy to expand 0.8 per cent this year, down from the 1.5 per cent projected in February. Asia's fourth-largest economy grew less than expected in the first three months of the year as the export giant and semiconductor powerhouse reeled from political chaos at home and heightened trade tensions. The rate cut, which was flagged in April by bank governor Rhee Chang Yong, takes borrowing costs to their lowest level since October 2022. 'All six members of the Monetary Policy Board, excluding the governor, expressed the view that the door should be left open to a possible rate cut within the next three months,' Rhee said last month. 'Given what we've seen so far from the Trump administration's tariff policy, including reciprocal tariffs, China-specific tariffs, itemised duties, and a baseline 10 per cent rate, the growth outlook scenario released in February now appears overly optimistic,' he added. The export-driven country has also been hit hard by the 25 per cent tariffs on automobiles imposed by Trump in early April. AFP

Elaine Heng to succeed Linus Goh as OCBC's head of global commercial banking
Ms Elaine Heng, OCBC's group chief strategy and transformation officer, will succeed head of global commercial banking Linus Goh who retires on Sept 30. PHOTO: OCBC Elaine Heng to succeed Linus Goh as OCBC's head of global commercial banking SINGAPORE – OCBC Bank announced on May 27 key leadership changes to its global wholesale banking franchise, to take effect on Oct 1. Ms Elaine Heng, now OCBC's group chief strategy and transformation officer, will succeed Mr Linus Goh, the current head of global commercial banking who retires on Sept 30. Mr Tan Yuen Siang, currently OCBC's head of global financial institutions, will join the global wholesale banking leadership team. Both Ms Heng and Mr Tan Yuen Siang will report to Mr Tan Teck Long, the head of global wholesale banking. Mr Tan Yuen Siang will retain his title, but report directly to Mr Tan Teck Long under global wholesale banking. Currently, he reports to Mr Goh, who oversees global financial institutions as well. Ms Heng joined OCBC in April 2024, and became group chief strategy and transformation officer in November of that year. Before OCBC, she was chief executive officer of retail business and deputy group chief executive officer at FairPrice Group; prior to that, she spent almost two decades in banking. Mr Tan Yuen Siang joined OCBC in 2005 and has, since 2021, led its global financial institutions business, expanding partnerships with non-bank financial institutions. Mr Linus Goh joined OCBC in April 2004 as head of international and was instrumental in the bank's growth within Asean and Greater China. In 2008, he took on leadership responsibilities for the commercial banking and global financial institutions divisions. The bank said he played a 'critical role' in growing its global financial institutions business, clocking a strong operating profit growth of nearly 40 per cent over the past three years, driven by the growth of the global funds and Greater China financial institutions sectors. Ms Helen Wong, the bank's group CEO, said Mr Goh 'built and nurtured a high-performing commercial banking team and has made strong contributions to the broader Singapore banking industry, championing SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) development, digital innovation and sustainable finance'.
