BritCham hosts Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong in a wide-ranging dialogue

On 24th June our members met with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong in an exceptional closed-door dialogue. During the discussion moderated by our President Damian Adams, the DPM shared his perspectives on the economy, Singapore’s Covid-19 strategy, the manpower needs of industry, Singapore’s strength as a regional hub, support for SMEs, sustainability and digitalisation. This event provided an unparalleled opportunity for members to meet the newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
 

We thank the DPM for his time and candour and look forward to future opportunities to engage with the British business community. Thank you also to our guests for engaging the DPM with your questions and to our event partner St. James’s Place, represented by Joel Carpenter.

Following the discussion, DPM Wong was photographed with Her Excellency Kara Owen CMG CVO, British High Commissioner to Singapore, BritCham Executive Director David Kelly and President Damian Adams, our Event Partner represented by Joel Carpenter, and members of the Board Lorena Paglia, Andy Marr, Haslam Preeston, Mike Buchanan and Suzy Goulding.
