The World Bank has ranked Singapore at the top of the inaugural edition of the Human Capital Index, out of 157 economies. We can be proud of what we have achieved, but we have not arrived.
We got here because we believe in maximising our people’s potential and abilities, and sharing the benefits of our progress widely among all. This includes making sound, and sometimes tough, decisions on social, education, and healthcare policies. As our economy and aspirations of Singaporeans evolve, we are updating policies so that lives continue to improve and we can progress together.
The Straits Times published an op-ed adapted from my remarks at the Human Capital Summit dialogue in Bali on Thursday (http://bit.ly/2Purw7r).

世界银行在最近发布的首份 “人力资本指数”报告中，我国凭借以有效的方式把资源投入在教育和医疗保健等名列全球第一。能荣登榜首是一件值得我们自豪的成就，但我们的工作并不因此而算完成。我们将继续努力改善人民的生活，让所有国人分享经济增长的成果。
