No shortage of candidates to be Singapore’s next finance minister
It is likely that Lawrence Wong will double-hat as prime minister and finance minister for a while

DEPUTY Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will soon announce his new Cabinet, a few days before he is sworn in as Singapore’s fourth prime minister on May 15.
Last month, he indicated that there would not be many changes in the Cabinet. Except for “marginal adjustments here and there”, the current ministers will remain in their current portfolios. Significant changes to the line-up will happen only after the next general election, which must be held by November 2025.
It would not be surprising if Wong, as prime minister, initially double-hats as finance minister, a post he has held since May 2021.
