Yesterday, AustCham Singapore was pleased to host a Ministerial Dialogue with Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development.
Moderated by AustCham Singapore Vice President Thomas FitzGerald, the discussion explored the forces shaping Singapore’s next phase of growth, including a more competitive and uncertain global environment, rapid technological change, and how businesses and people can adapt. Trust, reliability and efficiency remain central to Singapore’s resilience and its role as a regional hub.
With Singapore preparing to chair ASEAN in 2027, regional connectivity, practical cooperation and deeper economic links were also in focus. As Southeast Asia grows, Singapore plays a complementary role to the region, creating opportunities across various sectors including, professional services, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and more.
Thank you to Minister Indranee for sharing your insights with us, and to our members for contributing to a thoughtful discussion. We had more questions than time allowed - a good sign of an engaging conversation.
This dialogue was made possible with the support of our Event Partner, Toll Group. Thank you for your partnership. We look forward to more opportunities to bring our community together.
