China has set a GDP growth  target of "around 5%" for 2024, a repeat of last year's goal even as economic challenges mount. This was announced at the annual legislative meeting — the National People’s Congress, when Communist Party leaders promote their solutions for national ills. However, following the slew of announcements, investors largely shrugged off the set targets. On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Gary Ng, Senior Economist, Thematic Research, Asia Pacific, Natixis CIB, to find out what was announced and what its potential impacts are.

Money in the Market: Is China’s 5% growth target too optimistic?

AI isn't a future story anymore. This week on AI & Me, Lynlee looks at three places artificial intelligence is showing up right now, and what it actually means for you.

AI & Me: Your office, your phone, your worksite - AI in action

When a conflict thousands of kilometres away shows up in your grocery bill, your Batam ferry surcharge, and your school bus fee — fossil fuel dependence runs deeper than most of us realise. Alberto Salvo, Associate Professor and Dean’s Chair in the Department of Economics at the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, has a clear message: the real risk isn't moving too fast away from fossil fuels, it's moving too slowly.

On Viewpoint, Salvo shares with Lynlee why Singapore is more exposed than it thinks, and what a genuine energy transition would need to look like. From EVs and Singapore's gas-powered electricity grid, to why fuel subsidies help the wrong people, the ASEAN Power Grid, Singapore's 2027 ASEAN chairmanship, carbon tax revenue, and whether the green transition can be fair for lower-income households.
