 * 3) Application of economic concepts and linking GDP growth to Singapore’s current affairs and ongoing projects.

Synopsis
Economic predictions are usually short-term and economic situations are fairly unpredictable. Every local or global event has either a minor or a major impact on Singapore’s economy. Such events affect Singapore’s GDP growth and its economy as a result. Thus it was made necessary for us to know and understand the causes and effects of Singapore’s economic fluctuations, its link with Singapore’s GDP and how the government dealt with them to counter the slow growth in times of crisis. This would serve as a good learning activity in preparing for the future hard times.
