According to the analysis, Singapore's nominal GDP is expected to more than double from US$547 billion in 2024 to between US$1.2 trillion and US$1.4 trillion by 2040, driven by an average annual real GDP growth rate of 2.3%. On the currency front, DBS forecasts the SGD could reach parity with the USD—trading at 1:1—before or by 2040.
The SGD is already recognized as a regional safe haven, particularly in Asia, thanks to Singapore's political stability, fiscal discipline, low inflation, and robust monetary policy managed by the MAS through a managed float against a basket of currencies.
In summary, yes, SGD has strong potential to solidify as a "new" safe haven by 2040, evolving from its regional niche to a more global one, especially for USD diversifiers in emerging markets and Asia-Pacific portfolios. The DBS outlook underscores this through projected growth and inflows, but success hinges on Singapore maintaining its edge in productivity, openness, and neutrality

# DBS Forecast: SGD = USD by 2040! Could SG Become Next “Safe Haven” Hub?
