Singapore Inc by Linda Low,Douglas M. Johnston Pdf

Singapore's quick recovery from the recent economic crisis is attributed to its strong public policies. This book suggests further strengthening of the country's public policy in order to improve its competitive edge in the 21st century. The policy issues discussed fall into four broad categories: Economic and Technological Policy includes an analysis of how the Singapore economy fared under the recent regional economic crisis and explores how it meets the twin calls of globalisation and regionalisation. Fiscal and Regulatory Policy includes a discussion of current trends in government revenue and expenditure policy, and the country\rquote s regional role in containing land/forest fires in Southeast Asia. Resource Development and Management Policy discusses the issue among others, of the human resource and employment challenges Singapore faces in the context of the knowledge-based economy. Educational and Social Policy includes a description on how overseas education augments and complements local education in Singapore.

Sustaining Competitiveness in the New Global Economy by Ramkishen S. Rajan Pdf

'This is a thoughtful volume providing a well-rounded treatment of some of the main economic issues currently confronting Singapore. It will be of greatest interest to Singapore watchers, but given the range of issues it grapples with, a much wider audience of policymakers and those interested in development economics will also find it stimulating.' - Alfred Oehlers, Asian-Pacific Economic Literature While the Singaporean economy has experienced one of the highest rates of growth in the world over the past three decades, questions have recently been raised about the sustainability of the Singapore development model and its continued relevance in the global economy. This book is a compilation of specially written essays by a select group of leading international scholars. The authors analytically examine a number of related issues pertaining to national competitiveness, structural and macroeconomic concerns and policy options for the Singapore economy in order for it to sustain its economic viability in the global economy.

Asian Economic Recovery by Kong Yam Tan,Institute of Policy Studies (Singapore) Pdf

The traditional Asian economic model was characterised by the strategy of state-directed, rapid industrial catching-up. The first-growth period for Japan was 1953-73, while that for the NIEs (Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore) was 1966-86. Between 1987 and 1996, prior to the Asian financial crisis, there was indication that Southeast Asia and coastal China had been replicating the same Asian economic model. While showing a considerable degree of success, the developmental model has its shortcomings, and the financial crisis in 1997-98 exposed the flaws in the economic and political structure. However, with IMF financial assistance, steady improvement in the trade balance, rising foreign reserves, and gradual corporate and banking restructuring, economic recovery began to take place in 1999 and 2000.This book is a collection of papers presented at the Conference on ?Asia in Economic Recovery: Policy Options for Growth and Stability?, organised by the Institute of Policy Studies, Singapore, in June 1999. It discusses the issues and policy options regarding Asia's economic recovery.
