Постинг на форуме asiaonline...интересно будет посмотреть на репорт, о котором идёт речь в этом постинге...возможно, это просто утка...не очень понятно, как население может увеличиться до 7 миллионов при том, что рождаемость среди сингапурцев падает, а правительство проводит более чем чёткий курс на сдерживание кол-ва иностранцев в Сингапуре...

Singapore population target expected to be raised to 7 million: DBS Vickers

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Population growth to benefit construction, transport - DBS

DBS Vickers expects an upcoming white paper on Singapore's population to raise its population target to 7 million from 6.5 million, which will benefit construction, land transport, property and healthcare companies.

Singapore's infrastructure is taking the brunt of an expanding population and demand for additional investment in train lines and road expansions will benefit construction firms such as crane operator Tat Hong Holdings and Sin Heng .

"We expect to see a step-up in infrastructure spending to cater to a larger population following comments from the government that population growth has outpaced infrastructure capacities in recent years," said DBS.

Singapore said on Thursday it plans to double its rail network to 360 kilometres by 2030, which is expected to boost ridership to 13.8 million rides a day, benefitting transport operators such as ComfortDelGro Corp Ltd.

DBS raised ComfortDelGro's target price to S$2.05 and kept its 'buy' rating, citing population growth and improving public transport network. Another major transport operator, SMRT Corp Ltd, on which DBS has a 'fully valued' rating and a target price of S$1.50, however, will face near-term challenges from higher operating costs.

The larger population will mean a greater need for homes, DBS said, estimating demand to rise 31 percent. The brokerage is positive on property developers such as Capitaland for its diversified portfolio and Wing Tai Holdings Ltd for its larger exposure to residential projects.

DBS also noted that falling birth rates and ageing population will be a focus for the government, and healthcare providers such as Raffles Medical and IHH Healthcare will benefit in the long run.

Stem cord blood bank provider Cordlife Group is also likely to benefit from potential incentives to boost birth rates.

не очень понятно, как население может увеличиться до 7 миллионов при том, что рождаемость среди сингапурцев падает, а правительство проводит более чем чёткий курс на сдерживание кол-ва иностранцев в Сингапуре...

Ну вот меры приняли, сейчас рождаемость поднимут. Куды же ей деться, если теперь правительство на 3/4 обеспечивает зачатие детей, да еще 6000 отваливает сразу после рождения первого и 8000 - после второго/третьего? Конечно, отваливает только семейным. Матери-одиночки тут по-прежнему не в почёте...

Maksi, не уверен я, что сингапурцы побегут зачинаться даже со всеми новыми мерами...всё равно, это капля в море, по сравнению с расходами на то, чтобы вырости ребёнка...вот если бы они ввели систему, схожую с Эмиратами, Катаром и тд то может быть это и нашло позитивный отклик у сингапурцев...вот там - очень серьёзная поддержка, в десятках тысяч, включая оплату университетское образания за границей...

Parliament endorses Population White Paper

The population white paper was endorsed with an amendment on Friday, with 77 Members of Parliament giving their approval.

Thirteen said no, including all nine Workers' Party Parliamentarians, Non-Constituency MP Lina Chiam and Nominated MPs Laurence Lien, Faizah Jamal, and Janice Koh. NMP Eugene Tan abstained from voting. Eight people were absent.

The House had voted after WP chief Low Thia Khiang called for a division in the votewhen Speaker Halimah Yacob wanted to seek "ayes" from those who were in favour.

A division is when MPs record their stands electronically instead of voicing it with an "aye" or "no".

The white paper's amended motion supports maintaining a strong Singaporean core by encouraging more Singaporeans to get married and have children, supplemented by a calibrated pace of immigration. It also calls on the Government to attend to current concerns in areas like transport infrastructure.

Earlier, both Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean addressed the House after five days of intense debate.

PM Lee said the population size in 2030 and beyond is for a future government and generation to decide. He added that he believes Singapore's population cannot grow indefinitely.

So while a population of six million will not be sufficient to meet the needs of an ageing population, the total number of people here should be significantly below 6.9 million by 2030, and should not increase further after that.

The Government also wants the best for citizens and is hence not passing the responsibility of planning for population matters on to future leaders, he said.
