    SINGAPORE would benefit from a more data-driven approach to policymaking, said Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat on Monday.

    "I do think that as a society we need to be better at using data, we need to be better at looking at how we can have more data-driven policymaking and data-driven work," said Mr Heng to about 900 attendees at the Singapore Perspectives 2016 conference, organised by the Institute of Policy Studies.
