新加坡總理黃循財今出席「星展亞洲前瞻論壇」。

面對當前全球經濟的不確定性,新加坡總理黃循財在今日舉行的「星展亞洲前瞻論壇」上談到,新加坡幣強勢與穩定是新加坡經濟基本面的展現,新加坡將繼續憑藉穩定性、可預測性與高附加價值吸引國際資本,而非走低成本競爭路線。

針對新加坡幣的走勢,星展銀行執行長陳淑珊提到,新加坡長期被視為資金避風港,這反映在強勢的新幣與低於美元的利率上,然而不少有意將新加坡作為區域樞紐的企業也坦言,新加坡並非低成本市場。

對此,黃循財明確表示,新加坡金融管理局(MAS)將繼續獨立執行貨幣政策。他指出,新加坡幣的匯率是由經濟基本面決定,只要經濟持續表現良好,就能預期新幣維持由基本面支撐的強勢與穩定,這同時也有助於抑制輸入性通膨,對新加坡而言,降低通膨壓力是非常重要的一環。

黃循財說,出口企業必須將匯率因素納入經營成本的考量,同時也要考慮在新加坡營運所面臨的其他成本,而眾所皆知,新加坡絕對不是東南亞成本最低的地方。但我們也知道,企業尋找的並不一定是成本最低的地點,企業需要的是能力、穩定性、可預測性,因此他認為,當討論整體競爭力時,還有許多其他重要因素。

對於強勢新幣是否會削弱企業競爭力?黃循財認為,強勢匯率也迫使企業持續提升效率,否則就可能失去競爭力。他也說,新加坡的定位應該聚焦於高附加價值產業與智慧財產權保護,以及不容易被機器人取代的業務中心,發揮自身優勢,依靠能夠提供的價值來進行競爭。

在地緣政治與供應鏈碎裂方面,黃循財指出,全球秩序正在發生深刻的典範轉移,美國開始重新定義其全球戰略,權力變得更加分散,全球領導力出現了真空,意味著我們將面臨更多國際規則鞭長莫及、缺乏約束力的情況。而像新加坡這樣的小國,會發現自己處於夾縫之中。在這樣的環境下,世界各國都需要攜手合作,深化合作關係,維護國際法與多邊體系。更重要的是,我們要保持貿易順暢,讓我們這樣的小島國能繼續發光發熱。

在面對美中關係緊張與全球供應鏈碎裂的不確定局勢下,黃循財指出,要脫穎而出絕不能只靠價格戰,而是要透過創新與價值創造來建構完整的生態系統,聚集全球頂尖企業、跨國公司、在地業者及創投基金,互相強化,使新加坡保持強大的競爭力,並與廣闊的世界保持緊密連結。

星展銀行執行長陳淑珊補充,當前半導體封裝與製造等產業鏈環環相扣,但隨著世界局勢日趨碎裂,供應鏈正在發生深刻變化,企業為了應對極端狀況往往必須花費重金準備「備用計畫(Plan B)」。

對此,黃循財認同企業已無法再單純追求「及時生產(Just-In-Time)」與極致效率,因此新加坡的應對之道,一方面是與各大國維持良好關係、多結交強大的朋友,另一方面則是持續投資國防與威嚇力量以確保自身安全,並不斷提升自身不可替代的價值,確保國家利益獲得國際社會的尊重與重視。
