“Around us, a storm is coming. US-China relations are deteriorating, with intractable issues, deep suspicions and limited engagement,” Li stressed.
“This is unlikely to improve any time soon. Furthermore, miscalculations or accidents can easily make things much worse.”
Lee stressed that the economic challenges are more immediate and that Singapore’s outlook has “clouded significantly”, adding that the government will implement more measures in the coming months to help people cope with rising prices.
Singapore’s inflation has hit more than a decade high in recent months and its central bank tightened monetary policy on July 14 to tackle cost-of-living pressures.
