Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong rejected the idea of weakening the city-state's currency as a shortcut to improving its economic competitiveness, CNBC reported.
Wong's comments come as some economies have debated currency depreciation as a tool to support exporters. He argued against treating a weaker currency as a quick fix, pointing instead to other factors underpinning Singapore's economic standing.
Singapore has long maintained a strong-currency policy as part of its broader economic strategy, and Wong's remarks reaffirm that approach amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.
