Singapore should increase its investment in renewable grid interconnection to double its renewable energy imports, according to energy think tank Ember. The country needs to double its renewable energy imports to hit net zero by 2045, the report said, adding that doing so would cut per-capita power sector emissions by more than half. Ember estimated that developing and generating around 50 TWh of solar and wind power plants in Singapore's neighbours by 2035 would cost between $510亿 and $1000亿. It said renewables would reach 40% of Singapore's power by 2035, but fossil gas would still support the rest of its power.

Singapore is home to 244,800 resident millionaires, 336 centi-millionaires, and 200亿aires, according to the latest figures.

In Asia, core earnings increased 39% YoY while they rose 25% in global wealth and asset management. Net income attributable to shareholders was C$86600万, down 38% from a year earlier.
