Swift Tour Prompts Economists to Upgrade Singapore GDP Forecast

[Dr.Kamiya]

Hot damn. 2.9% increase in quarterly GDP, 2.3% annual. And that's of SG's GDP.

Maybe Salceda was right to complain about SG monopolizing the Swift tour. You could argue that economic benefit should have been spread out across ASEAN, but SG effectively got all of it by getting exclusivity.

sometimes, it's not really the intended activity or program, but rather, the change in scenery that's invigorating.
the program is probably just the excuse for some folks to go there and invigorate.

From interviews, people spent anywhere from US$1k to almost 10k.

Tay, with $4.1B in hand, is singing her way to the bank. She can choose to just sit on her laurels and still afford to live a very comfortable life.

Not saying she didn't deserve it, but damn!
