WHAT WENT INTO PRODUCING THE SHOW
Produced over the span of six months, Singapore Reserves Revealed is to date, the most extensive look at one of Singapore’s most closely guarded secrets. Key to telling this story well was getting access to the very people involved in managing and growing Singapore’s reserves – from individuals to organisations, those who were there at the start, and those responsible for investing the reserves today.
The production team trawled through decades of investment reports, Budget statements and historical archives across Singapore and London, including former top secret internal British government memos. The story took us from a secret gold vault owned by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, to the Deputy Prime Minister’s junior college, to a solar farm on the outskirts of Manila.
But it wasn’t just us doing the travelling - several Singaporeans based overseas also helped CNA locate and capture images of Singapore’s assets and investments in other countries - with some in places that we’d never expect. Our producers soon realised that there’s more to the reserves than initially thought.The series seeks to demystify Singapore's reserves and debunk some common myths.: Singapore’s reserves consist not just of cash, but other financial assets like bonds and equities.
