Abstract
Despite becoming the most prosperous Asia Pacific country in per capita terms, Singapore faces challenges from global tensions, inequality and an over-reliance on traditional success sectors. To sustain growth, officials are emphasising meritocracy and diversity in talent, promoting upskilling and reforming education to further creativity and innovation. The government is also introducing visa restrictions for foreign white-collar workers and supporting economic diversification towards 'advanced' industries such as pharmaceuticals and agritech.
