DBS’s projection is bold but exciting — doubling Singapore’s GDP and seeing the STI hit 10,000 by 2040 reflects confidence in our strong fundamentals. With sound fiscal discipline, innovation, and steady capital inflows, I do think long-term appreciation of the SGD is realistic, even if the pace may be gradual.

Reaching USD-SGD parity, however, is ambitious. It would require both continued SGD strength and a structurally weaker USD. If the dollar keeps sliding, I’d likely raise my gold allocation — it’s a reliable hedge against currency weakness and global uncertainty, and historically performs well in such cycles.

For portfolio positioning, I’d stay diversified with solid Asian equities, quality dividend stocks, and some exposure to gold or other real assets. The USD could stay under pressure for years, but disciplined, long-term investing remains the best way to capture these structural opportunities.
