Wealth Tracker: Where in the world are your investment returns coming from?

Singapore ended 2025 on a strong note. The economy grew by 4.8 per cent, beating earlier forecasts and clocking its fastest pace since 2021. Manufacturing surged, jobs stayed resilient, and exports were boosted by the AI boom.

But here’s the real question, what do these big numbers actually mean for Singaporeans?
Does stronger growth translate into better job prospects, higher pay, or a lower cost of living? And if growth is expected to slow in 2026, should we be preparing for tougher times ahead?

To help us make sense of it all, on The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Selena Ling, Chief Economist and Head of OCBC Group Research at OCBC.

The Big Story: SG's economy doing well with 4.8% growth, but are Singaporeans feeling it?

Tech stocks have carried the market for years, fuelled by AI hype, blockbuster earnings and sky-high expectations. But as 2025 draws to a close, investors are starting to ask some uncomfortable questions. Are tech stocks still the engine of growth, or are warning lights flashing beneath the surface?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Danish Lim, Senior Investment Analyst, Phillip Nova, to take a closer look at whether the rally has more room to run, the risks hiding behind those valuations, and where investors might want to look as we head into 2026.
