    A GOVERNMENT-led task force set up to guide Singapore's economic growth beyond the pandemic, appointed 15 business leaders as members during its inaugural video conference meeting on Wednesday, where it also defined its areas of focus.

    The Emerging Stronger Taskforce (EST) will identify systemic shifts arising from the Covid-19 outbreak, and assess the impact of these shifts on the Singapore economy and how they translate into challenges and opportunities, the Future Economy Council (FEC) said in a statement.
