“Rebuilding the Global Economy: Crisis and Opportunity” is a pretty interesting and apt theme for this year’s APEC CEO Summit to be held in Singapore. It will bring together 800 of the world’s top business leaders, including Heads of State to discuss socio-economic and business issues that is of relevance to the Asia-Pacific economies. The highlight of the Summit is US President Barack Obama’s participation, which also happens to be his inaugural visit to the city-state.

Given the current economic landscape it proves to be an important forum with a relevant theme. It is going to be interesting to see what business leaders have to say about the recent economic development world-wide. Quite naturally, Singaporeans are going to be particularly interested in PM Lee’s, MM Lee’s and US President Barack Obamas’s thoughts. Certain topics such as rebuilding the global economy, strengthening corporate governance and redefining the roles of China and the United States in the new global economic landscape are of particular relevance to Singapore.

On a separate note, the CEO Summit is an excellent platform for Singapore to showcase it’s strengths to the rest of the world. And I mean beyond its impressive sky-line. Singapore is one of the early Asian economies to exit from the recession. For an economy that is so heavily dependant on exports and services, it has faired quite well during the downturn with local companies expanding overseas and MNCs continuing to remain committed to the country. Perhaps the nation’s leaders can use this opportunity to talk about how Singapore took to innovative business models, new products and  new markets which happen to be “Uniquely Singapore”.
