I highly doubt it would happen. Interestingly enough, Gold started to drop a little with expectations of some stability... maybe it's time to buy in. I have been watching USD for years now, it can slide or spike, but things always stay at some equilibrium. Admittedly when the current president entered the White House and made a mess on the international stage with his tariff threats and then imposing them, USD did indeed have a sustained slide but that was a little in contrast to COVID times when USD spiked. So in the medium term, it does not look too serious. Of course, trump might cause more instability in his country, what with the prolonged government shutdown under his political party's direction, and in the medium and long term, his constitutionally illegal attempt to be USA presid

It will be if SG grows rapidly 🫢

definitely SGD is so strong

$DBS(D05.SI)$ In one of the boldest macroeconomic projections to come out of Southeast Asia in years, DBS Group Research has released a long-term report that envisions a radically stronger Singapore — one where GDP doubles by 2040, the Straits Times Index (STI) soars to 10,000 points, and the Singapore dollar (SGD) achieves parity with the US dollar (USD). That last prediction, in particular, has grabbed global headlines. For decades, the USD has reigned as the undisputed reserve currency of the world, while the SGD — though respected for its stability — has remained in a completely different tier of global influence. But DBS is arguing that by 2040, Singapore’s rise and America’s gradual fiscal decline could bring the two currencies to equal st

Imagine a world where your Singapore dollar buys the same as a greenback—parity unlocked, turning the Lion City into Asia's ultimate safe haven. DBS's latest bombshell paints this exact picture: explosive growth catapulting GDP beyond $1.2 trillion, the Straits Times Index soaring to 10,000, and SGD standing tall at 1:1 with USD. But is this destiny or daydream? Let's dive deep into the numbers, risks, and your next moves. First off, yes—I buy the SGD parity story hook, line, and sinker. Right now, 1 SGD fetches about 0.77 USD, but with Singapore's real GDP eyeing 2.3% annual growth through 2040 (doubling from $547 billion today), the math stacks up. Anchored by tech booms in AI, biotech, and green energy, plus ironclad fiscal policies, the Monetary Authority of Singapore has the tools to

Haha, the math is wrong to start with. Is this really from DBS Research? You cannot double the gdp in 15 years with 2.3% py growth.

hopefully so!

1) Do you believe SGD can really reach parity with USD bv 2040?: SGD has been a very stable and reliable currency and has been managed very well. With proper planning, it seems very likely that SGD can achieve parity with USD - whether that's ggoing to happen by 2040 is another matter since it is 15 years away. 2) If the USD keeps sliding, would you increase your gold allocation?: both increase gold allocation and allocate to other markets like 🇨🇳 also. 3) How would you position your portfolio for a long-term USD downtrend?: reduce dollar dependence by holding assets denominated in other major currencies, such as the RMB, GBP, Euro, Yen. Commodity-linked currencies like the Australian and Canadian dollars can also tend to strengthen when the US dollar declines.

I believe Singapore will be still export-oriented economy especially with digitalization and ASEAN body being more integrated and matured due to more relocation of existing industries from China, Johore-Singapore free trade zone effectively implemented, all these will push trade to even greater height in this region. I do not think SGD will reach parity with USD as it will hit our export hard.

Maybe even much earlier [Happy]

Singapore is the best managed country in the world. Look back 60 years. See what it has acheived. USD parity in another 15 years? Given the achivements of the last 60 years, it is entirely possible.

USD: SGD has bounced from the bottom 1.25. now it is 1.3. unlikely 1:1 even in 2040 because us GDP is also growing and likely faster than Singapore. DBS themselves are firing people. GDP per capita goes up but GDP itself may be stagnant at least within the visibility, explaining DBS firing.

I expect gold prices to go higher as the USD weakens and as the US market climbs higher giving rise to more fear of an impending crash.

To reach parity in 15 years is about close to 2 cents annually which is realistic.  If the US keeps printing the dollar and not having new innovation for exports decline is there.  Apart from creating war to sell its related products there's Nothing much to keep the economy from growing. US has been spending too much unless the current and following government is able to bite the bullet to keep their fiscal spending in control. Likewise gold price will keep growing with the dollar in decline. Gold has been use as a product for hedging in time of trouble and will still do for the next 15 years. What should we do with this scenario, buying stock that gives a better return of more than 2%, Currency that grow or performs better than the dollar. Tiger will be a good place to starts to

This prediction is both plausible and bold. It’s plausible because Singapore has many structural strengths, such as an open economy and a competitive logistics and finance industry. If productivity continues to improve and Singapore keeps attracting capital and investments, a modest currency appreciation would be reasonable. That said, reaching parity would represent a significant appreciation, and there are many factors at play. If the USD continues to weaken, I may reduce my US equity holdings slightly and increase my allocation to gold and SGD-based assets, especially dividend-yielding stocks. However, since 2040 is still a long way off, my portfolio will likely remain heavily weighted toward USD-based assets for now, while keeping in mind the importance of staying adaptive.

The forecast from DBS Group Research (DBS) that the Singapore dollar (SGD) could reach parity with the U.S. dollar (USD) by around 2040 — and that Singapore could “double” its GDP in that timeframe — is an interesting signal. Let me put on the hat of an investor-analyst and give you my commentary plus three key take-aways. My commentary From an investment viewpoint, the DBS scenario is both bold and plausible — but also should be treated with caution. On the positive side: • Singapore has a number of structural strengths: a stable institutional/governance environment, open financial markets, a strong current account surplus and a track record of productivity gains. DBS emphasises these as the underpinnings of the SGD outlook. • If the U.S. dollar weakens (or at least doesn’t strengthen muc

DBS​‍​‍​‍ has sent a shockwave through the macro world with a headline that the Singapore dollar (SGD) may be trading at one-to-one with the U.S. dollar (USD) by 2040. This prediction is part of a larger story that Singapore's GDP might more than double to between US$1.2–1.4 trillion over the next 15 years, with the Straits Times Index possibly going up to 10,000. The bank bases its opinion on productivity improvements, continuous current account surpluses, and stable capital inflows. That brings up two questions that investors are interested in: Is one-to-one really possible in a world where the USD remains the dominant reserve currency? Is Singapore turning into Asia’s next “safe-haven” hub?” Reasons for DBS to Predict Parity Macro engine: DBS sees around 2.3% yearly real GDP growth thro

You’ve raised three excellent questions — each with important implications for portfolio strategy, especially from a Singapore-based investor’s perspective. I’ll address each in turn in a structured way, then draw out some key take-aways you might apply to your holdings and planning. --- 1. Can the DBS Group Research projection that the Singapore dollar (SGD) reaches parity with the US dollar (USD) by 2040 really happen? The case for “yes, it is possible” DBS points to Singapore’s disciplined economic policy, consistent current-account surplus, strong capital inflows, productivity gains and so on as drivers of SGD appreciation relative to USD.  Some commentary sees long-term upward potential in SGD versus USD: for example, one article notes the gap has narrowed from ~S$1.45 per US$ in

💰 DBS Forecast: SGD = USD by 2040! Can Singapore Become the World’s Next Safe-Haven Superpower? 🌏 DBS just dropped one of the boldest macro calls of the decade — by 2040, the Singapore Dollar (SGD) could reach parity with the US Dollar (USD). That’s right — one SGD might equal one USD. It’s not just a currency prediction. It’s a vision of Singapore transforming from a regional financial hub into a global safe-haven powerhouse. If this plays out, it could reshape how investors view Asia — and how we build portfolios for the next 15 years. --- 🇸🇬 1️⃣ DBS’s Vision: Singapore’s Rise to Global Parity According to DBS Research, three big shifts could define the next phase of Singapore’s growth story: GDP could double by 2040, driven by AI adoption, advanced manufacturing, and financial services

DBS Group Research just dropped a bold projection — by 2040, Singapore’s GDP could double, $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ may hit 10,000, and the Singapore dollar (SGD) could reach parity with the US dollar.According to the report, Singapore’s real GDP is expected to grow at 2.3% annually over the next 15 years — outpacing most developed economies. Strong policy discipline, safe-haven capital inflows, steady productivity gains, and persistent current account surpluses could all drive the SGD’s long-term appreciation.But here’s the catch:If USD continues to weaken, parity with SGD could also mean USD/CNY falls from 7 to 6, potentially pushing gold prices even higher. ✨💭 Discussion:1️⃣ Do you believe SGD can really reach parity with USD by 2040?2️⃣

🌟🌟🌟DBS $DBS(D05.SI)$ bold forecast that the Singapore Dollar (SGD) could reach parity is more than just a currency call.  It is a signal of Singapore's rising economic clout, disciplined policy and safe haven appeal.  This opens up a rich canvas for my portfolio repositioning. A stronger SGD means overseas assets, especially US Dollar denominated ones become cheaper over time. Singapore Listed Companies like DBS, OCBC and UOB may see valuation uplift, not just from earnings but from currency rerating. However even with a strong SGD, global inflation and geopolitical risk still persist.  So investing in Gold ETFs such as $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ would protect my purchasing power and serve

DBS’s projection is bold but exciting — doubling Singapore’s GDP and seeing the STI hit 10,000 by 2040 reflects confidence in our strong fundamentals. With sound fiscal discipline, innovation, and steady capital inflows, I do think long-term appreciation of the SGD is realistic, even if the pace may be gradual. Reaching USD-SGD parity, however, is ambitious. It would require both continued SGD strength and a structurally weaker USD. If the dollar keeps sliding, I’d likely raise my gold allocation — it’s a reliable hedge against currency weakness and global uncertainty, and historically performs well in such cycles. For portfolio positioning, I’d stay diversified with solid Asian equities, quality dividend stocks, and some exposure to gold or other real assets. The USD could stay under pre

I think it is possible for SGD to reach parity with USD by 2040. Singapore employs a strict stewardship of growing the economy and managing the strength of its currency. Although Singapore also has huge debts, it manages it and steer the economy to enable strong growth and being a safe haven for companies by having the right policies, stable government and the right workforce. This helps it strengthen against the USD. I won’t buy gold even if the USD keeps sliding. I think there is a possibility of the Chinese yuan being one of the world’s reserve currency. Also, there are many stocks that can offer greater yield than me holding gold. In terms of returns, I prefer to hold stock. My preference has always been the ETF that tracks the world index eg VTI so I would keep to that. I also do

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-Paci

Parity between SGD and USD by 2040 is possible but unlikely. It would require a ~30% SGD appreciation, driven by strong productivity, fiscal prudence, and global capital inflows — while the USD must weaken structurally. Singapore’s fundamentals are sound, but the USD’s reserve-currency strength and liquidity demand make full parity a stretch. Treat it as an optimistic scenario, not a baseline. If the USD keeps sliding, I’d moderately raise gold holdings (to 5–10%) as a hedge against currency weakness and inflation. Gold performs well during dollar declines, but excessive exposure limits growth. For a long-term USD downtrend, diversify currency exposure (SGD, EUR, AUD), favour real assets (gold, REITs, commodities), and invest in global firms with multi-currency earnings. Avoid over-levera
