Capital Market Transaction Trends in 2021

As more Singaporeans enter their retirement years, downsizing or right-sizing could offer seniors a more manageable home, lower costs and potentially more funds for retirement. But deciding when to make that move can be difficult, especially for those who have spent decades in the same home.

So, when is the right time to right-size? Should seniors start planning at 55, 65, or should age not be the deciding factor? And should homeowners make the move while they still have the choice, rather than waiting until they need to?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Christine Sun, Chief Researcher and Strategist at OrangeTee Group, who was featured in The Straits Times discussing the growing demand for smaller flats, to explore when seniors should consider downsizing and what’s driving the trend.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has laid out his vision for Singapore’s next chapter, with major announcements on family support, housing, manpower and artificial intelligence at the National Day Rally on Aug 23.

But as the Government rolls out more support for families, what will this mean for businesses and Singapore’s workforce? Can businesses cope as manpower growth slows, and will greater support for parents help Singapore turn around its record-low fertility rate? At the same time, as AI becomes a bigger part of the push to boost productivity, how can businesses adapt while ensuring workers are not left behind?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Ang Yuit, President of the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, and Dr Reuben Ng, Behavioural and Data Scientist at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS, to unpack what PM Wong’s announcements mean for families, businesses and workers.
