新加坡副总理颜金鹏表示，在与其他管理财富的全球枢纽竞争时，新加坡必须以更快、更硬的作风开展工作。
Singapore must work faster and harder as it competes with other global hubs that manage wealth, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong said.
他在周三于新德里举行的“新经济论坛”期间接受彭博电视采访时表示：“我们一直在与世界各地的金融中心竞争，包括香港、迪拜、伦敦或纽约。”
“We have always been competing with financial centers around the world, in Hong Kong, Dubai, London or New York,” he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television at the New Economy Forum in New Delhi on Wednesday.
他表示，随着全球供应链和投资流向发生转变，新加坡作为金融枢纽的重要角色将提供更多机遇。他补充说，这个岛国正持续确保其监管规定与时俱进，以便利财富管理业务的运营。颜金鹏说：“我们能够快速行动，这就是我们的优势。”
As global supply chains and investment flows shift, Singapore’s important role as a financial hub will provide further opportunities, he said. The island nation continues to ensure that its regulations are up to date in facilitating operations for wealth management, he added. “We can move fast and that is our strength,” said Gan.
颜金鹏还表示，随着绿色能源需求的增长，新加坡也有兴趣发展跨境电力贸易。
Singapore is also interested in developing cross-border electricity trading as the need for green energy grows, said Gan.
但他补充说，在落实东盟电网方面，“各国要走到一起是一个非常重大的挑战”，这可能需要几十年的时间。他所指的是东南亚国家联盟。
However, “it’s a very major challenge for countries to come together” in implementing an ASEAN energy grid, which will likely take multiple decades, he added, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
