A taskforce of industry leaders assembled to revitalise the Singapore economy after the COVID-19 downturn has been criticised in parliament and by civic society groups for excluding voices they say could set the city-state on a more sustainable, inclusive developmental path.

The Emerging Stronger Taskforce, announced by the Ministry of Trade and Industry in May, has been put together to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the economy, identify opportunities and threats, and devise ways to “refresh, reimagine or reset” the country’s economic development strategies as pandemic restrictions on business activity begin to ease.
