Singapore Forum

The Singapore Forum, also known as Singapore Economic Forum (SEF), was re-established[1] as an Asia Pacific plus G12 nations annual event held in Singapore – typically in the third week of March (date may vary in accordance with Chinese calendar).

The forum brings together policymakers, academics, and S&P Global 100 executives for up to three days to discuss financial, geo-economic, and social issues that define the "Asian Century": notably the growing convergence of economic and social growth dynamics in light of the Sustainable Development Goals and the way long-term asset owners such as pension funds and sovereign wealth institutions invest in the region — including listed equity, private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure assets.[2]

The event is organized by the APAC Leadership Council, an Anglo-Singaporean think tank, in association with global, regional and national industry groups, asset owner associations, policy research centres, and family offices.[3]
